    generative sheetmetal DXF function reducing part size!

    you are my savior, thank you, it all works great now! That has been driving me insane for weeks!

    generative sheetmetal DXF function reducing part size!

    When I have larger sheetmetal parts the dxf function in generative sheetmetal design scales them down so that they are around 1 - 2 inched total, as opposed to the 30 inches + that they are supposed to be. what is that about? It works with smaller parts just fine. Could it have something to...

    a few questions

    I have checked the FAQ, and it does not say anything about how to change the "write access" in drafting. I found some stuff for the other question but none of it was a clear explination of how to change it. Explinations like ferdo's assume that I have a clue about what a catscript is and where...

    a few questions

    alright, I have a few things that are not working for me. 1) I want and understand how to change drafting sheet properties in admin mode, but I need "write access" on CATcollectionstandard and CATreferancesettingpath. I can find these directories easily in the catia environment editor but what...

    prismatic machining post processor

    I am trying to see if any of the supplied post processors will work with my cnc mill controls. I have a tree journeyman 425 mill with delta 30 controls. anyone?

    catia machining capabilities

    I am interested in using catia for machining, but am worried that it doesn't have the functionality of things like mastercam and surfcam. what are your thoughts of using catia and which workbenches should I use?

    V14 drafting help

    I have a surface that i need to make flat in the drafting stage. Imagine a piece of paper that has a crease in it resulting in a 20 degree angle. In the drafting stage I need to make that piece flat again t show actual size. is this possible, because I can not seem to figure it out.

    standard stresses on suspension parts?

    so, that all sounds good. Using solid works, and the cosmos stress testing package, I am going to put the suggested number of G's on the parts, and see how it goes. On second thought though, how do i convert g's into pounds(so that it is useable on cosmos)I am no engineer after all, this is...

    standard stresses on suspension parts?

    I have designed a suspension in catia which I would like to stress test. As I am not an automotive engineer, is there some standard stress that you put on certain places of the suspension in order to determine that it is capable. If so, where would I find these numbers?

    solenoid actuated valves

    The new GM bank deactivation still does no t have the adjustability of fully electronic actuated valves, not to mention the mechanical losses still inharent in their design. They claim a 15 percent gain in efficiency, i think with the full solenoid setup we would be getting maybe 20% or more...

    solenoid actuated valves

    when you say that they dont go very fast does that mean that the valves aren't capable of high rpm's, or do you mean that the heads dont flow well?

    solenoid actuated valves

    what about opening the valve with the solenoid and holding it closed with a spring? anyone have any ideas on where i could get a solenoid that was capable of opening high spring pressures?

    solenoid actuated valves

    What is the viability of actuating the intake/exhaust valves of an engine using solenoid valves. If it were possible, it would allow displacement on demand, true VVT, and a mechanical energy loss advantage.
