Hi Everyone,
I made a post in the finishing sub-forum, but I think it does not get enough traffic, so I thought I'd share the link here:

Your thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm really looking for the best way to apply the...
Hi Guys,
I hope this is the correct place to make this post. We have some parts that need a lubricant applied to the edges of a part. Since volume is increasing, applying by hand is tiresome, slow, and inconsistent. For simplicity sake, Imagine a 6" x 6" x .25" plate. One the 6x6" surfaces...
Hello,
I am looking for a way to attach a cap to the end of a tube and looking for some suggestions. The tube is Appx. 3" OD tube with .06" wall. The cap also has an OD of 3". Threading the cap on with internal threads into the tube is not an option. I'm looking for some more unique ways to...
Hey Gurus,
I'm doing a production run of some glass-filled PP parts. I'm getting a knife edge at the parting line that needs to be polished down to a small chamfer/fillet. Due to the geometry,schedule, and cost, we cannot change the mold.
Is there any special abrasives that will not leave any...
I've been researching and I'm looking to see if there any alternative processes to RTM that yield the same type of parts, but with low-cost and high-volume capabilities. Specifically multi-layered composites with and without a honeycomb core. The parts are smaller; roughly 6" x 6" x...
I'm referencing an old thread I started about modeling a fin...

Update: I'm developing some fins and some have been scanned via reverse engineering processes.
I'm having the same predicament about modeling the tip. I couldn't really figure out the last bit described in the...
I have an assembly that I am meshing and for some reason these holes won't mesh on a specific part. Also some counterbores on some holes aren't meshing either. I've tried different things, like local mesh size and I cannot even choose the inside hole surface. No luck here. Any insight or tips...
I've been fiddling with some hand sketches/CAD and going through some references and I'm trying to create a simple mechanism to incorporate around a hand tool. Here's the simplified description:
I have two bars/links pinned together at end points free to rotate around the pin. Now, I want to...
Attached is a sketch of what I'm trying to accomplish...A thumb sized push button remotely mounted to actuate a locking pin up and down with the button up and down. I've thought about using a push-pull control cable, but I think my bending radius is too tight. I'm possibly looking for a...
I need some suggestions on how to model an assembly.
I have simplified what I am modeling in the picture below. There is a Hexagonal shaft placed into a female hexagonal base. There is a small amount of clearance between the two parts radially speaking(no initial radial contact). The shafft...
I have created and evaluated an assembly FEA model. I have decent results, but I would like to look individually at one of the two parts in the assembly. How can I do this? I couldn't hide individual parts/meshes.
Thanks
I am in need of a Hi-Lo or Plastite type screw for a project.
It needs to have a countersunk head with a 90 degree angle in stainless steel probably 18-8 or 316.
I've done my Google searching with little luck. I've contacted some companies with no avail either.
Does anyone have any...
Hello,
I am currently working on a project that requires a precise grid to be set on a vertical wall appx 10ft tall and 60ft long.
This wall is the exterior of a building and scaffolding prevents a survey to be done normal to the wall. I can only work along the walls 60ft length.
Do any...
I've got a rudder/fin that I am trying to determine the loads of to do an accurate FEA on.
I'm going to try to describe the situation, the craft is moving along the x-direction in water and the foil serves to keep the craft from "slipping" in the y-direction(normal to x) Therefore, foil aligned...
I am trying evaluate methods to permanently retain a small disk, .75" x .125" in some plastic.
I have come up with 3 ideas, but not so sure of the cost effects and manufacturability of each.
Insert disk and sonic weld cap on...Needs to be strong bond.
Drop Disk into slot and Glue/Sonic weld...
I'm trying to make two planes coincident.
Set constraint1 = constraints1.AddBiEltCst(catCstOrientSame, sref, lref1)
My code won't work when applying the Orientation, Unless my formatting is incorrect. The "CatConstraintOrientation" is what the help file directs me to.
Otherwise the code...
I'm having trouble creating an air foil type surface.
I've attached three different pictures. The first two are almost there. You'll notice that the first two are the same except the order in which the guides were picked and the third one completely failed.
All of the guide curves are...
Hello,
In Cosmos Works 2007, is there a way to impose/apply a deflection on a part or feature of a part instead of imposing a load? I would like to see stresses, strains, and reactions from this deflection.
If so, please explain where/how to do this, or a method to achieve this.
Thanks in...
I am in the process of designing a snap fit/Cantilever Latch. I have found a massive amount of resources and calculators for such design. But they are not so straight forward in my application, such that my application uses the latch in a radial configuration.
I have been following the design...
This is what I am trying to accomplish:
I have been having trouble generating a surface like shown in the attached sketch. I have a curve on a cylindrical surface and a radial line that must always stay parallel to the surface of the cylinder while sweeping. Is it possible to achieve this...
