    Convert Alternating DC to AC

    So a capacitor in series with the output will do what I want? In practice, we will be working with ~12 to 20 volts, and around 5 to 10 amps...

    Convert Alternating DC to AC

    Hey everyone, I have a quick question. I have an un-rectified alternating DC signal, that I'd like to convert to true AC. Does anyone have any information on going about this process? Currently, I alternate between +2 and 0, and I'd like to alternate between +1 and -1 (see attachment) Any...

    Simulate 3-point bending of tube?

    Hmm, I gave it a shot, but it was unable to load the center of the beam because there was no reference plane for the load. Can I have non-member reference points?

    Simulate 3-point bending of tube?

    Hmm, I'm not sure how to go about doing that kellnerp. Any tips? The only real FEA I've done with solidworks is tensile tests.

    Simulate 3-point bending of tube?

    I don't see why I wouldn't be. Solidworks just doesn't seem to want to behave when it comes to working with a tube. The test is on a thinwall tube (1 meter long, 1" O.D with a .049" wall thickness).

    Simulate 3-point bending of tube?

    If I wanted to do a 3-point bend test for a tube in Solidworks using COSMOSWorks, how would I go about it? I'm using Solidworks Office Premium 2008 (64bit edition). Thanks!

    Complex curves?

    I am trying to make a circular ramp that I would normally make a helical sweep for. The only trick is, I need an infinitely variable pitch angle from 30 degrees to 50 degrees, for ~90 degrees of rotation. Imagine a spiral stair case, but only making 90 degrees of rotation. During that first...
