Anyone remember the name of the company that had various diameter worm gear stock that used industry standard bolts as the worm? I seem to remember the second half of their name was 'Dynamics' as in "Motion Dynamics" or something like that. They used to have ads in 'Machine Design' and 'Design...
I've been using 'real view' for a while, but all of a sudden the icon is greyed out. I have not changed drivers or updated SolidWorks in any way. I can assign materials to a component but now the real view radio button is checked but greyed out. Even view/diplay/Realview Graphics is greyed...
These are models of components used in the the US First robotics competition, but there are some usefull models for other stuff too.

Don't know if I have something wrong, but rendering in PW R2 takes many times longer than in earlier versions of PW. I've heard the new version is slower, but I have to wonder if there is just something wrong with what I'm doing. I'm waiting for a rendering now that has been running for 1-1/2...
Our machine shop uses Camworks for our parts designed in SolidWorks. When countersink or counterbored features are put in using the hole wizard, CamWorks does not automatically recognize the csink or cbore portion. If the same feature is put in as a cut extrude vs. cut revolve, then everything...
Anyone have a copy of the SolidWorks benchmark that will run on either
2001Plus or 2004? The current version is for SW2003 which we skipped
over.
Our machines currently have a double install of 2001Plus and 2004 (not
currently implemented) and I would like to run the benchmark to
compare to a...
I have an instrument with a motor driving timing belts which in turn drive various disks with hubs,shafts, bearings, etc. The motor control software needs to know the total system inertia in order to properly control speed.
Can anyone suggest a way to measure actual total intertia for all of...
Anyone know where I could get a 12.75" dia. X .09" thick disk dynamically balanced up to 6000 rpm? The disk has a thru slot and a set of 'counter balance holes' opposite the slot but on a different 'bolt circle. All holes are through. The cad system shows that the theoretical center...
I'm looking for published maximum speeds for bearings. I'm planning on using a sealed 22mm OD ball bearing where the inside race will turn 6000rpm in one direction and the outside will turn 6000rpm in the opposite direction. This translates to about 44 feet/second of surface speed. The loads...
