    Design of small plastic tank for rotomold and rapid prototype.

    This tank is a little bigger, in the 3 gallon range. "Rotomolding is normally used for containers larger than ~20 gallons; it's not competitive with blow molding for smaller stuff like milk jugs or jerry cans." Really? this is going to be low qty only a couple hundred a year. I talked with...

I'm picturing like a coupling nut but one had has a hex or square head and a circular diameter so the installation...

    Calculate pin in double shear with repetitive impact or vibrational loading.

    I'm looking through my Shigley's Machine Design text and I don't see anything specifically for a pin in double shear that has to endure repetitive loading/impact loading. Not sure exactly what it would be called. The pin is not tight, think of it like a quick release pin from the image...

    Journal that lists x,y,z coordnates of points as well as component name and reference designator.

    thread561-314774 I read the thread referenced above and it includes a journal that almost does exactly what I need. It generates a comma delimited list of point attribute 'NM' followed by the x, y, z coordinates. I am wondering how to modify it so that instead of the point attribute it will...

    Arrangements with sketches in the upper level assembly. NX 7.5

    Sorry I hit submit post when I meant to click preview. I'm using NX 7.5 and am trying to do something with arrangements but am unable to get it to work. Basically if I promote the boy of a part in the assembly, then put sketches or text on it. The sketches will not move with the arrangement...
