    What other inputs do I need to perform a random vibration analysis for a G_rms calculation?

    My first project that went beyond a simple modal analysis. Completed a modal analysis on the part. The modal solution feed into a random vibration analysis. I was only given a maximum G_rms the part can observe. Is that supposed to be sufficient information? Or should a G_rms requirement...

    Curve pattern (circular) is not working correctly in NX9

    I have a helical gear model that uses expressions to customize the pitch and number of teeth. One of the expressions I used to customize the gear is N (number of teeth). I have a sketch with a single gear tooth and bottom land that has an angular dimension of 360/N. I then use a circular...

    Who are the primary manufacturers of anodizing equipment?

    I have a potential project. My initial research didn't clear up who the major players were in making equipment for this market. See a lot of anodizing talk on this forum, so I was hoping some of you could throw some names my way. Thanks

    How do I convert bi-directional rotating energy into a single direction?

    I have a rod that fluctuates axially back and forth approximately 30deg. I want to take that input and produce an output that constantly rotates in a single direction. The only example I've been able to find is the Kobalt Double Drive screwdriver. Seen here...

    Stress occuring in cooling plastic (settle a debate!)

    This question was actually meant for CAD simulation. So I have the ability to enter a CLTE vs. temperature curve. The problem was which non-linear tensile stress-strain curve to use once the cooling strain was calculated. So creep is ignored. Also, the bar wouldn't "clamped" at both ends, it...

    Stress occuring in cooling plastic (settle a debate!)

    I'm not understanding how the other two dimensions come into play. Or why thermal stress is relevant when both bars stress are being measured at the same temperature. The debate was attempting to answer the following question: When attempting to determine stress at the final RT of 23C ...

    Stress occuring in cooling plastic (settle a debate!)

    You have a plastic bar. It has a constant coefficient of linear thermal expansion. The stress-strain curve is non-linear. Now imagine both of these scenarios: Scenario 1: You heat the plastic bar to 100C. You then fix it at both ends and let it cool to 23C. Let's assume that thermal...
