    Torsional Yield Stress

    I have calculated the maximum torsional shear stress in a round tube and now wish to check that the material I choose (steel, type to be decided) will not fail. Materials data tables give you the tensile yield stress, or 0.2% proof strength. Is there a rule or formula to convert the tensile...

    COUNT WITH IF

    Suppose I have 3 columns of data. If the value in the first column contains "F" and the value in the second column is "2006" then I want to add the number in the third column to a running total of the numbers in the thrid column that satisfied the criteria. For example: LF 2006 1...

    Solidworks surface trimming

    I have 3 surfaces where one edge of surfaces 1 and 2 touch, and one edge of surfaces 2 and 3 touch. Solidworks will let me knit surface 1 to 2 and also let me knit 2 to 3. However if I try to knit the already knitted 1 and 2 to 3 or the already knitted 2 and 3 to 1 it will not do it: the final...

    External threads

    Is there a way of getting an external thread to show up on a drawing, just as an internal one does after using 'hole wizard'? Thank you for your help.

    Solidworks surface trimming

    I am trying to trim two overlapping surfaces - I trim the first without a problem, but on trying to trim the remaining portion of the second surface get the message 'cannot partition surface, trim tool and target do not intersect'. How can I get round this - as far as I can see they must...

    Extruded Cut with guide

    Is it possible to perform an extruded cut in Solidworks using a guide profile, as you would with a swept boss? Thank you for your help.

    Solidworks surface trimming

    I am trying to trim a surface using a sketch. It works, but the trim projects through all surfaces, not just the one I wish to modify - there is no option to set a direction/depth as in 'cut' with solids. Is there another way? I have tried creating an extruded surface from the sketch, then a...

    Surfacing in Solidworks

    I am trying to use the 'filled surface' command in solidworks 2005, but keep getting the error message 'Boundary is open and cannot be patched.Ensure there are no gaps in the boundary or use a closed boundary.' Sounds simple but the 3 patch boundary lines I am using each have relations...

    Scaling down Solidworks parts

    I need to make a model of a full size component (already drawn). How do I produce a new part that is 1/3 the size of the original? I will then make some small modifications to this 1/3 scale part: so I would not be able to just change the drawing scale in the drawing. Thanks for any help
