fraudster: I'll have to give that a try. I ended up not designing around the negative for the model, but if it can be done it would be good to know.

Salutations! Recently I've been given the task of trying to take a list of items from one sheet, and consolidating them into a better format. Unfortunately for me, this list of items needs to be cross-referenced with another sheet to check if the item must be included or not, a system which is...

dgallup: Do you know where I'd go to define that intersection? The only option I see is the intersect modifier which I can't select for the models.

MintJulep You're probably right, I'd need to test them anyway to make sure they don't damage what they're supposed to be contacting. The original idea was to design a kind of cover from the plastic, one which is installed via flexing - similar to many consumer phone cases only much larger.

Orange_kun: Yeah, you've got a point. I was afraid that the beam bending wouldn't apply and the more looking I do the less confident I am that simple hand calculations will work. Right now I'm between finding equations for plate bending (Don't apply for large deformations) and the Föppl–von...

Greg: You're totally right, looks like it was a misconversion on my end [upsidedown]. Although it only brings the force up in line with the rest of the values, at 500lbs instead of 50.

MintJulep: That was my first instinct so I switched over into m*kg*s with all units and double checked to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious. Attached is the spreadsheet I used to run the numbers, only thing I can think of that would be off is either the moment of inertia or the...

Salutations! Recently I decided to run some hand calculations to test and see if the thickness of plastic sheet / material selection for the sheet are reasonable for being bent by hand. The sheet is 0.5m x 0.461m and 3mm thick, however the actual part has cutouts for access. Ideally the sheet...

Glad I'm not the only one who's been confounded by their naming! I'm on Creo 4 right now and trying to explain which packages I'm missing has been a mess. I'm definitely leaning towards trying to do a quick workaround in another program now. The design is a one-time project so it would...

Salutations all! New to the forums and to Creo, but I've got an interesting dilemma. Recently I've been tasked with taking a Creo model someone else has designed using freeform surfaces, and creating a 3D printable part that has the negative impression of the outside of the model so it can...
