    API 650 Tank Retension Time

    Maybe you are referring to the time between inspections? This is calculated following an inspection according to API 653 (Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction). API 650 (Welded Tanks for Oil Storage) is used for the construction of your tank. Inspections according to API 653...

    Problem Realview - AMD Radeon HD 6900M

    Where on the SolidWorks did you find you graphics card to be supported? I believe most, if not all AMD Radeon cards are not supported. Be sure to checkout this page on the solidworks website: http://www.solidworks.com/sw/support/videocardtesting.html

    Lofted Cut Leaves Lines

    Guessing you made the circular bodies with a revolve, can't you just use an revolve angle which would suit your needs?

    My Part Files Disappeared

    "Since I reformatted my hard drive" I believe this still doesn't mean that your data is actually gone. Data recovery can go pretty deep. If you are really want your data back, get in contact with a recovery company. Like rollupswx said, it's prolly better to let some experienced do this, than...

    Solidworks compatibility

    SolidWorks has a list of certified Graphics Card on their website: http://www.solidworks.com/sw/support/videocardtesting.html The only certified Intel card is the Intel HD Graphics P3000. I am not really into the Intel graphics cards, but I believe that the P3000 and the 3000 are different...

    My Part Files Disappeared

    @rollupswx, I don't think you are 100% right. There are ways to recover deleted/rewritten data from a hard drive. I don't have any experience with it, but I know it can be done. Try googling for terms like "recover hard drive data"

    floor w/ and w/o units gives different results

    @jhardy1: I'm now indeed more aware of the constraints/limitations of software like this. I just found it out the hard way :-) Funny thing is, I was thinking about the LHC as well. Imagine 9,99...98 vs 10 being the difference of 'finding a Higgs-Boson particle' vs 'finding some random particle'...

    floor w/ and w/o units gives different results

    Sorry for my late response, but thanks for the answers/discussion. I understand that software has to be programmed in certain ways (I have written some 'software' myself), but don't 'limitations' like the one discussed, just defeat the purpose of Math-software in some way? If I wouldn't have...

    floor w/ and w/o units gives different results

    Hi all, I'm pretty new to Mathcad (I'm still young ;)), but I have run across a pretty weird problem. I did try google/help/eng-tips without any luck. I think my problem is best explained in the attached file but here it is: My 'goal' is to floor a division incluing units m/mm. In my example...

    Sheet Metal, Box with 1 45degree angle

    Thanks Updracht for the info .. We use an external company for our sheet metal (laser)cutting and bending. We've got a radius table for the various plate thicknesses. The parts we create are accurate enough for our work, so we are happy with this method. Although my problem doesn't have much to...

    Sheet Metal, Box with 1 45degree angle

    The radiuses are giving by our laser-cut company. We send them .step files, so having a good model is quite important. Having a model like the image, would a unsatisfied part

    Sheet Metal, Box with 1 45degree angle

    I am trying to create a simple sheet metal box. I start off with a square sketch, then I create sheet metal. Now I want to 3 bends to be 90 degrees, and the 4th has to be 45 degrees. What would be the best method creating such part. The problem I have is that I can't get the corners to be...

    Run a macro with a mouse gesture

    @Jspisich - I have a Razer Deathadder with two (extra) buttons. I don't like more buttons than that on a mouse :) .. You won't find me using a mouse like Razer Naga .. But thanks for the tip. @CBL - I just think that's something for a user to decide. I don't think I will need 8 gestures in...

    Run a macro with a mouse gesture

    @fcsuper .. Only SW related I follow so far is this one. I'll look at the SWW forum soon .. Thx @CBL .. Yes, that's what I mean :)

    Run a macro with a mouse gesture

    Creating a menu item doesn't seem to pop-up that item in the mouse gestures tab .. too bad. An extra idea would be, to be able to select 4-or-8 mouse gestures for part/assy/dwg/sketch separately. I have no idea ... :) ... how to file such an idea to SW. Anyone bothered to create it?

    Run a macro with a mouse gesture

    Well, pretty much the subject says all. Is it possible to run a macro with a mouse gesture? (sw 2010, sp5)

    Linear/Circular vs Feature driven components

    I think I wasn;t 100% clear :) - What I mean is in an assembly. You put 1 bolt in your flange and then you want to fill up the rest. This can be either by using circ. pattern or use the feature pattern and take the circular pattern from the part.

    Linear/Circular vs Feature driven components

    Basicly my question is pretty simple. Why not just skip the linear/circular patterns and just use feature driven. It has one advantage. For example; if I edit my flange from 12 to 14 bolts, my assy's bolts would update accordingly. Just a thought... Gz J

    2010 concentric mate

    Sorry for the bit of OT.. handleman, ctopher - could you show me an example of such macro? - Recording doesn't give much result.
