Hey guys, I'm trying to run a simulation for a heat sink operating with natural convection. Does anyone know how to define the direction of gravity in solidworks simulation? Thanks for the help in advance

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone has, or knows someone that has, done mechanical engineering work at a research facility (ie. particle accelerator lab taking care of their machines and designing new components). If you have, how was the pay/work environment etc? Thanks for your help in advance

Hey guys, I am looking to find a new job in the next couple of months and need some advice. One of the positions which I am looking at is with a HVAC equiptment sales company. From what I have heard (one of my friends had an intern position there before) the engineers there make very good money...

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has had experience with engineering firms. Is it hard to get hired at one? Do you need to have a master's degree in order to be competitive?

Hey guys, Does anyone here have both an engineering degree and is also a lawyer? I am thinking about going to school to get a law degree and maybe become a patent lawyer. Any thoughts? Thanks

Hi there, I am placing a new spring loaded tension arm to replace the old one in a belt drive. This tension arm will also be in a different location than the old one. I am concerned that placing the tension arm right before a wheel with a skinny shaft might cause it to bend. Is the tension in...

Hi, I am new to using solidworks, and am having trouble finding some of the features. I know that in CATIA there is a feature called 3D intersect. To use it, you create 2 profiles, and the resulting geometry would be the volume that is common to both profiles after they have been projected. Is...

Hey there, What are your thoughts on how well you did in university and where you are now? Do you think you would have a better job if you worked harder and got better grades? Anyone ever fail a course and felt that it shut doors?

Hey guys, I'm going to switch from CATIA to solidworks in a few days. I'm wondering which of the two programs require more system resources to run. In particular, does solidworks require a more advanced video card than catia? The reason I ask is on the catia site, it just says you need something...

Hey guys, I was wondering how a machine shop usually charges you if you want to prototype something. I constructed the 3D model in catia so hopefully it can be translated to work in most cnc machine. So here are the questions: 1) Does the complexity of the features drive up cost in cnc...

Hi, Does anyone know what the different parameters in the inertia matrix means? For example what the IoxG, IxyG..etc stand for? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I've been using Catia for a while now and I'm thinking of switching to solidworks since it's a lot cheaper. Has anyone else done the same thing? And if so, did it take a long time to make the transition for solidworks, or is the interface pretty much the same as catia? Thanks...

Hey guys, First of all,sorry about my other post, I accidentally hit submit. But here's my question: I've been working with Catia lately and noticed the "work on 2d support" and "work on 3d support" options within GSD. I know how to use these features, but I cannot figure out why someone...
