Hi All I am designing the plan of a workshop (machinery site) its mostly 2D sketches , but I extrude them a bit to have a 3D view, but I liked to be able to put the machine names on them , is it possible ? I mean they be visible all the time , not dimensions , I could not try with text box, is...

Hi all the solidworks 2016 has a harder viewpoint handliing system and it needs more clicks to get your view , is there a shorter way to set it up, for example have the normal view , outside of the icons group ?

Hi All I know it might be a basic question for you guys but since I have not dealt with this , I would like to ask , we do the tensile test only when we have to know the material behavior, once we know that, why should we simulate it ? definitely we don't know the material stess-strain...

hi All If there is anyone who has had an experience of working with these two softwares, please write a comment of your comparison , I would like to be able to choose the best for cold forming ( containing head forging + threading) also if there is any software better for this work, I want...

Hi all I need to create always two types of drawings from my models, one is the intelligent dimensioning , that the other office colleagues want to read and use it, for intentions of production of the piece, I also should make the horizontal and vertical order drawing for production part. I...

Hi all Again Sorry for asking the 2nd question right away I was using this post to do some matings in Assembley , but whether I open a part or assembly I get a run time error 91 : Object variable or with block variable not set I don't know in which line the set is not compatible with my...

Hi all I want to run a Macro , that when I have a .sldprt open , it saves the file in STEP format in a particular folder, using its own name. at the moment I have this file , but it can be used only for one file name Sub main() Set swApp = _ Application.SldWorks Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc...

Hi All I am now facing a problem , in determining the dimensions of an offset crank slider mechanism , that is installed on a machine , so I don't have access to all the mechanism, as you see in this image The red line is the machine body , and the green line is the reference line that I...

Hi All I wanted to know if the NURBS surface definition the most exact surface definition in Solidworks ? I have a problem , that when I define even a hollow cylinder , and export it as .STEP , to use in a FEM software , I see the surface has many facets to edit, before using, otherwise I will...

Hi All Maybe my question also refers to some basics , but I was wondering , if in a metal forming process , I have both tension (first ) then compression , the material is low carbon steel , Usually I model it with a flow rule, till UTS , but since I see also some surfaces that are under more...

Hi All I am searching for Damage Data for C4 Steel for cold forming , Lemaitre, or Cockroft, in Lemaitre I am not sure what to assume for the damage resistance

Hi All Which of the CAD file types : "STL" or "STEP" are better to be imported in FEM analysis softwares ?

Hi All I have designed a new Template for my Solidworks2014 Drawing, When I import my old drawings that are in another template, and want to open them in my new template, it only opens the empty Template, and does not import the part , so I have to open the old one and copy all into the new...

Hi All Sorry I am a beginner To solve some examples , I opened some pre modelled ADAMSview files, when I do, two similar windows open , one is solid and the other is wireframe, both are the same thing , but I dont know how to close one of them , and also the windows don't go full screen , how...

Hi All How do we define the profile of a cam for example , that might be a bspline , by importing points ? and what is the type of the file that ADAMS can read from ? In ADAMS 2014, I dont see this command , and how should I order the points in that file ?

Hi All Does anyone have an experience , when you cutt a steel wire mechanically, the cut is done by shear, in which part of it is ductile deformation and from some point we have britle cut, is it possible that a part in the cut surface get a very high temperature and burn ?? I mean change color ?

Hi All I have problems in dealing with the parts that i have to import in Solidworks , that are meshed , and deformed , and also are imported into solidworks with a mesh , the result is a part with a lot of facets and small lines , and the problem will be that the surfaces are not straight...

Hi All If you have to define a stress limit for a contact node, how much would be that stress , ( in an arbitrary condition ) is there a rule of thumb ?
