Not sure where to post this but I'll start here? This is actually a question concerning hobby items: neon lights on a toy HO scale train display with a power supply that causes high pitched annoying noise. I have four picture displays connected to one power supply. It doesn't matter though, one...
I would like to know how the nozzle joint efficiency value affects the analysis results.
I am using COMPRESS (but could be any package). There is a 14" 150# WN nozzle, XS neck,
SA-106-B material. 19" OD x 3/8" thick pad. Shell is 48" Dia x 3/8" thick. SA-516-70 pad
and shell. Design is 50 psi...
I have a 10' diameter CS API 650 tank, flat bottom.
It's about 15 years old. Customer wants to put a 6"
studding pad (thru a vertical weld)located about 6" from
the bottom plate. There is no information on this type
of connection. Does it still need a repad added? Can it just
be welded in or...
I am using SW2016. I created a "T" section in Sketch. I selected "Evaluate" to determine the section properties (Ixx, Iyy, centroid, etc). Some of the MOI show a small number but should be "0". One of the results, "Angle between principal axes and sketch axes" shows a none zero number. I guess...
I'm using SW 2016. I use a third party software to generate
solid models. The attached Plot1 is what should be plotted,
but I get what is shown on Plot? The bottom picture is what it
should look like. The top picture is what I get. I may have
changed some switches somewhere by mistake? The...
I am using SW 2016. I am kind of new to this software.
I have a lift lug that I have been trying to apply a force.
I don't understand the bearing force at all. I see that I can
also use a nonuniform distributed load which I haven't tried yet.
What I want to know is can I apply a point load? Can...
I am new to Solidworks. I am using the 2016 edition.
I am trying to locate holes in a circular flange. When
placing a bolt hole near the edge, the linear dimension
are active. I could figure out the X-Y coordinates but
I would like to use the radius and an angle to locate
the first hole. How do...
How practical will a variable compression engine be?
Seems kind of fragile.

I am using Creo 3/Simulate. A model is made in third party
software of a 120" diameter pressure vessel consisting of
four 88" long cylinders with dished heads on the ends. It seems to
import into Creo ok but fails to run because the cylinders
won't connect to each other. How can I get the...
Using Creo 3/Simulate. I am trying to model a circular bolted flange as
an axisymmetric model. How do you model the bolting to get an accurate
cross section area? The flange and connecting piping cover 360 degrees
continuous but the bolting is intermittent. Do the bolts have to
somehow be...
I am trying to figure out how to specify an acceptable limit
when I do a dynamic analysis on a structure. For instance,
there is a beam supported at the ends. Someone walks across
the beam that is very flexible. The person walking on the beam
bounces too much. So the beam is made stiffer until...
Does anyone know if Simulation can be used in heat transfer to
apply a convection coefficient and a radiation coefficient on the
same surface at the same time. This is for use on mechanical
parts (not fluid flow)
I'm using Creo 3. I have a pipe section with 800F
inside temperature, out side is 100F ambient. On the
outside is a convection heat transfer and there should also be
radiation heat transfer but I can't seem to assign
both conditions to the same analysis. How are the two
combined?
I use Creo 2. I have third party software that generates a solid
model suitable for exporting. There are many parts to the model.
However, when I import the model to Creo, it's just one piece.
Is there a way to separate the components? I don't need all components
separated, just a few like when...
I have a spherical tank with nozzle connections.
The nozzles have reinforcing pads. I con't know
how to make the repad. Is there a tutorial somewhere
that might help explain the steps to adding repads to
a solid model. The repad has to conform to the
base metal shape. I checked the internet...
I'm in Creo 2. I imported a cylindrical model (.sat) but only
the geometry (feature lines)shows in the isometric view in Creo. There is no
coordinate system, axis or datum planes. I created these items but there is no
other views in the tool bar (top, right, etc). How can i create the views so...
I have a vessel that has to be designed for a cold temperature
lower than the -320F limit (-350F). The vesel is small, 36" diameter,
vacuum design pressure. Is there guidance in the ASME Code
to qualify this material when it gets that cold?
Thanks,
I'm not even sure what question to ask?
The customer has a large diameter water filled tank.
the seismic design has to include sloshing-convective and impulsive
used to determine the effective mass. These components will be combined with SRSS.
I have ASCE7-05 available to do the seismic analysis...
I have a calculation on an Excel spread sheet that uses the data from the results of a COSMOS analysis.
I was wondering if anyone can post an example of the geometry and stress files with a .csv extension. This extension may be from an older version? I'm thinking these files would be in text...
