    Iteration calculation inconsistencies

    After all this analysis that is what I am figuring but how its making these inconsistencies I am not sure. I just find it out that if I decrease the time interval per iteration, the overall time span decreases, and vice versa if I increase the itme interval. Almost every iteration type of...

    Iteration calculation inconsistencies

    When I say within Matlab I am referring to errors that arise in Matlab such as round off errors or truncation errors. The time steps I am using are really small so my inital guess was the time steps were being truncated during calculation steps within the code. I have tried to set up my system...

    Iteration calculation inconsistencies

    I am currently performing an iteration calculation for a model that involves variably changing acceleration. The acceleration is dependent on position for this model. When I plot the data with respect to position, the data is accurate. However, when I plot it with respect to time the...

    Circular rod with square bore

    Yeah I noiced that too. I am going to try to get a custom size where there is sufficient material in between. As for the application of it it is basically being treated as a bearing for a lead screw and gear. The square shaft becomes locked and the gears and lead screw rotate around these...

    Circular rod with square bore

    I have seen hese but this type of collar is not what I am looking for. The ones we have now are virtually a solid metal rod with a square bore. I am hoping to replicate this type of collar but on a larger scale.

    Circular rod with square bore

    As part of a shaft design I am working on, there are a few shaft collars that have a square bore to fit on a square shaft. I was wondering if these types of collars/sleeves are relatively common and could be found from a supplier. I have seen these very commonly in the past and it doesn't seem...

    Machinability of 1566 steel

    I am looking at getting some hardened shafts made from 1566 steel, but I am trying to figure out the machinability of the material. Online sources seem to show very little about the mechanical data of this steel. Does anyone know of this information or have any experience working with this...

    How to trail zeroes in drawing

    There is a possibility the sheet format I have is fixed to the ASME standard. I have tried all default and all on the settings but never did any good.

    How to trail zeroes in drawing

    I have dimensions that I need to display with .0 but even setting the dimension to one decimal display it only displays it as an integer I have tried to change the lead_trail_zeroes & the lead_trail_zeroes_scope to default and all but it has not fixed the problem (this was recomended in a...

    Drawing sheet format in file essentially disappears after saving and reopening file

    That's what I was thinking but Creo is not giving me an option to search for the sheet format when the drawing file is opened. I know the path to the templates but cannot find a path for the templates that Creo generally uses.

    Drawing sheet format in file essentially disappears after saving and reopening file

    After saving a drawing file, I closed Creo and opened it back up some time later. When I go to open up the drawing file again, the sheet format pretty much changes itself to most of the parameters I adjusted when I originally started the file and everything else disappeared. This has happened to...

    Reorienting view of part always goes to fron view

    So far just basic training my company has given me since I will not be working long enough to take their full training course. I managed to get my issue fixed but am still learning as I go

    Reorienting view of part always goes to fron view

    I am currently trying to reorient a part in order for the drawing views to to come out alright but whenever I reorient a new view it always goes back to the first view I used. I reoriented the front view (works out ok). When I ry to reorient the other views it just goes back to the front view...

    Alternatives to slot constraint in assembly

    I have a mechanism modeled that involves a spring-pulled pin traveling through a set of different closed profiles on different parts in the mechanism. When I am trying to do a motion analysis of the mechanism, it only allows me to make a slot constraint for the pin and parts in order to model...
