I'm a mechanical doing a preliminary analysis on a video display (17' x 17' x 3') to be located in a large auditorium (135' x 85'). The room has around 8 standard doors which make this an enclosed building. I am having trouble determining what lateral load i should consider on the display which...
The best off the shelf unit I could find looks like the Maxon MAXPOS 50/5, digital positioning controller, 5 A, 10 - 50 VDC. I like it because it has an Ethernet connection, room for expansion if I increase the motor strength, seems to be a plug and play option. It might be overkill for what I...
I have a project where I need to control a single 24vdc brushed motor (with encoder) at max 3.5A which can be connected to a pc to communicate with it. It only needs a few IO connectors (for safety switches and encoder) and ethernet connection would be nice. I just need to tell the motor...
Hi, I am designing a 12" diameter steel monopole support that will support an LCD Display array 6m[19.7ft] x 2m[6.6ft] x 1m[3ft] from the ground. The display with framing and paneling is around 1600kg [3500lb] with some overturning moment. I normally design these systems to be installed in...
Hi! Maybe this question is more appropriate for the "Engineering Codes, Standards & Certifications" section but I'm not sure which standard I need...and I thought the HVAC people might have the best knowledge of standards that apply to plenum space or suspended ceiling space. I am working on an...
Hi, I was wondering if someone could suggest a simulation package that would be the most appropriate for my application. I currently design 2 or 3 rack mount enclosures each year and I am looking for a low budget simulation package for calculating internal temperature, simulating air flow, etc...
I am running Solidworks 2008 and I have an assembly that consists of 60 parts. It is basically a two piece enclosure (with complex surfacing) and various exterior parts. I need to export this into something a graphic artist can open with 3D Studio Max and do some renderings with. After searching...
