    Help Identifying Callouts in an Old Drawing

    I liked the way the effect of WW2 rationing was still present. Thou shalt use the letters in alphabetical order for each different attribute. So you have view A datum A section A-A, none of which are necessarily related.

    Tire Vertical force FZ

    It is definitely there in Car. Which Test Rig are you using? I don't have ADAMS any more so i can't tell you directly, but if you post the .adm file i'll find it.

    Things are getting better part 2

    Oh noes - there's been some changes in Antarctic sea ice https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-06/antarctic-sea-ice-falls-to-near-record-low/105008392 Oh diddums, photos from 1937 says we've got more than had then https://phys.org/news/2024-05-local-bright-glaciers-km-antarctic.html

    Unless US drivers are even worse than as shown on TV and youtube, I very much doubt that "Miscommunication during lane changes, at intersections, and in parking lots is a leading cause of automobile accidents".

    Peel Hunt report on the link between Net Zero and declining productivity in the UK https://www.peelhunt.com/news-insights/economics/in-pictures-does-the-uk-lack-the-energy-for-productivity-growth/ It is fair to say there have been other factors since 2005, Brexit and immigration and covid...

    I think that's a bit of a clue for B. and this for A

    Stress Distribution

    I can't help thinking a drawing of what is going on and some dimensions and other parameters might speed resolution.

    What could be the isometric view for the below orthographic projection? Please help!

    Would you class this as a trick question or a useful one (or both or neither)? These 2 are the classic ones, I class them as puzzles, myself , and wouldn't want students wasting their time on them.

    What could be the isometric view for the below orthographic projection? Please help!

    Nice, but it doesn't agree with OP's drawing. Look at front view.
  12. GregLocock

    What could be the isometric view for the below orthographic projection? Please help!

    No , the LHS drawing in the OP has a horizontal line. Until we see the real question, not some hacked up version, we can't tell. I'm excluding the possibility of wafer thin surfaces or surface details.

    What could be the isometric view for the below orthographic projection? Please help!

    RHS for non symmetrical solution, the question as posed by OP is unanswerable unambiguously
  14. GregLocock

    What could be the isometric view for the below orthographic projection? Please help!

    Yes that certainly makes more sense. If I could point out the obvious LH and RH may not be symmetrical? So OP, please post the actual problem, not your bad reinterpretation?

    What could be the isometric view for the below orthographic projection? Please help!

    I'll put it this way. Without any technical drawing classes at all I was given a series of questions like this for my apprenticeship. They said it was the best test for engineering aptitude they had found (I don't necessarily agree). Anyway this little tag annoys me. is that extension to the...

    AI designs an electric grid for Australia's NEM

    Replacing some of the renewables and gas with reactors gives If we replace some of the wind, solar, and battery storage with 1 GW nuclear reactors to provide baseload power, the overall cost structure would change significantly. Below is an analysis comparing the original plan (dominated by...

    AI designs an electric grid for Australia's NEM

    Designing a power generation system that delivers an average of 24 gigawatts (GW) while accommodating the intermittency of renewables and aligning with typical daily demand curves requires a strategic mix of energy sources. Below is a proposed energy mix, along with associated costs and...

    Mastering FEA: How to Get Through Stage 2 (Developing Good Modeling Techniques)?

    The way I got into it practically was by running an experimental modal analysis lab and 'helping' the FEA guys to correlate their models to the cold hard truth.
