i work primarily with wildfire 3 and creo 3, no windchill.
I have a parameter CONFIRMED = YES_NO, which states if the design has been confirmed by the buyer or not.
If it has been confirmed, that means that i unhide a couple of additional manufacturing-related objects on the drawings (more...
I have an inner gear that has DP = 4 (m = 6.35), nr. of teeth = 85 (inner gear) and inner diameter 540mm. Profile is (most likely) inv. stub. (not much data was given to me)
after some number crunching i've come to a possible PSC x = -0.8 and reference diameter 539.75 (note that that's smaller...
Hello.
i have a pattern of simple holes that are defined as a dimension pattern, where the number of instances is defined by a Parameter.
on top of that holes (after them in the tree) i have a reference-based pattern of cosmetic threads (nr. of instances is the same as nr. of holes).
i would...
We design custom bearings, like double spherical radial bearings, slewing rings, based in W europe.
currently we use autocad and creo, automated via equations and parameters (the second one only), but i've been looking for a possiblity to replace the cad system (user friendliness, ease of design...
does NX have anything to automate a design, perhaps similar to creo options modeler?
i know it has equations...m but are you able to turn a feature on or off like that (without a macro)? pro/program has something like that.
is it possible to define a custom function in relations - f(x)?
an example would be the involute function or (a couple of them probably) to calculate the base tangent length of a parametrized gear.
if it is, how?
Hi,
i have a round plate with holes for screws, as seen in the attached file.
I'd like to add two more holes next to a specific hole (the top one for example) and then i would like to pattern that to 3 separate instances.
what's the quickest way of creating a pattern like that?
is there any...
Hi,
if i have a job offer in a shop where you only do variant work, would that be detrimental to my future career?
By variant work i mean the following (actually there are two offers):
- smaller heat exchangers design. no calcs, only design of mostly tube-fin HE...
ones like these:

also how are the seals assembled into place? are they in one piece? (i doubt that though, as rubber could be easily damaged like that)
hello,
can someone please check the python version in abaqus 6.13? just type abaqus python in windows command prompt and it should display it.
i used to be able to find it @DS website, but not anymore.
hello,
how much is excel used in a mech. eng. office (design of products, tool design, stress...)? is it generally viable to learn advanced procedures, such as VLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, pivot tables, vba macro-fu?
so far i've only edited an occasional BOM from autocad/ solidworks or used it to help...
hello,
is it difficult to learn a CNC program?
i have a still active catia v6 (student) version, but not for long anymore (couple of months, half a year or maybe a little more).
i have some training materials for milling, but i don't have a machine at my disposal.
would that be sufficient to...
hello,
can someone enlighten me on how to work in the strucure design workbench?
my final intent is to design a yacht cradle, used to hold the entire hull or deck of the yacht. similar to the one here:

but much more complex.

Is purchase of training materials (without actual training, due to distant location and price reasons) still available, as it was a couple of years ago?
If so, does anyone have the link on the 3DS site? i wasn't able to find anything, but i distinctly remember that option couple of years ago.
Is it possible to make a part - a gear for example - that has two different configurations in one file:
-a simplified one with only the kinematic diameter (basically a simple cylinder) for the assembly and asm drawings (where full geometry is not needed)
-a fully featured model of the gear for...
what kind of material treatment would you recommend for a extrudor screw
http://www.extruder-screw.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/extruder-screws.jpg
if it has to serve bakelite (basically plastics reinforced with glass fibre - very abrasive)? the material is standard 42CrMo4 (AISI 4142...
what is the difference between piezo actuators (for pneumatic valves-actuators) and ordinary solenoid ones?
is there a difference in reliability (doubt it though that it's in favour of the piezo, as it needs some sort of mechanical advantage system to multiply the travel i think), response...

where can i see pricing for that or where can i apply?
My reseller doesn't know anything about this (or is more interested into selling me class training) and i can't find anywhere that i can apply for it as is the case with...
did anyone try it, is it any good, esp. on the advanced subjects? does it have any projects to work on?
you can find a ton of tutorials on the basics on the internet, but nothing on the advanced stuff...
which package did you buy, if you did buy the training?
regards, R
