    No respect from SolidWorks.

    Today I recieved a note that my problem with the SolidWorks drafting standard is not designed to work with files from 2009 and eariler. This appears to have effected about 30,000 of my files and several thousand of a customers files. It seams I should do a convoluted work around, submit another...

    .sldSTD problem

    Today I consider the sldSTD a form of disease. For some reason I have never had my custom templates not use the existing standard I developed for 8 ½” X 11” drawings until SP3. I didn’t even know about the .SLDSTD template until today. My VAR has very little knowledge about this also. I need to...

    Compressive yield strength of 12L14?

    Has anyone done a compressive yield strength test on 12L14 or other free machining steels? We purchase a product made with free machining steel that seems to have a low compressive yield strength leading to premature product failure. The manufacture does not think this is the problem even...

    Do you use the Excel BOM feature?

    If you use the Excel BOM feature SolidWorks is not planning to support it. I’ve has an SPR in for over 2 years. When I refused to continue maintenance until they provided a response they said replied it was not being supported. Hawkridge Systems advertises the Excel BOM as a top feature...

    Choosing a new manual lathe?

    We need to upgrade to a longer lathe and would like some feedback. Our current Victor S2260S is only fair quality. We need 120” centers and a 4” spindle hole and 20 to 30” swing and would like a better quality machine. Ed Danzer www.danzcoinc.com www.dehyds.com

    Towing distance?

    I would like someone to suggest the distance between vehicles to eliminate the affects of drafting so I can measure both rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag by towing a vehicle at different speeds (up to 70 mph) on flat ground. Ed Danzer www.danzcoinc.com www.dehyds.com

    Frontal area and Coefficient of drag questions

    Could someone explain how coefficient of drag and frontal area effect how much power is required to move a vehicle at a specific speed? Where would I find frontal area and Coefficient of drag values for current vehicles especially larger cars and SUV’s? Ed Danzer www.danzcoinc.com www.dehyds.com

    How would you build a car to compete for the X Prize?

    The rules for the Automotive X Prize (http://auto.xprize.org/) will be posted soon. They think it will take less than 18 month to finance, design, provide a detailed production cost analysis, build and test a 100 mpg 4 passenger car that meets all the safety and emission standards world wide...

    Choosing kinematics software?

    We are doing more product design utilizing hydraulic cylinders to drive structures that must be light weight and robust. I have used Working Model and COSMOSMotion both, neither have a way to input acceleration rate, deceleration rate, maximum velocity and force into one element to simulate a...

    Delta 3 Phase and VFD problems

    We have had problems with VFD’s and spindle drives with our 240V Delta three phase. The new Baldor drive required Y three phase only. Searching only provided thread237-106308 Our incoming power has a wild leg that is 210V to ground. Some systems work, Fanuc, and Haas, but not Allen Bradley, or...
