    Human Hand 3d Part

    Hello, I am attempting to locate a solid model of a human hand so that I can accurately assess whether or not a hand will be able to fit into an assembly to tighten or loosen another part. can anyone direct me to a location where I may find one? Preferably free? Thanks in advance. Adam

    Galvanic Corrosion question for the experts

    this connection is of the higher pre-load variety. one part of the joint will be painted to maintain low visibility - the anode alloy. I have found in MIL-STD-889B Notice 3 that Nickel-Copper and Nickel-Cobalt alloys are incompatible in a seawater environment anyhow. I'm going to have to look...

    Galvanic Corrosion question for the experts

    some references that I have read have suggested that you need a greater than .15V difference in potential before you start to see galvanic problems... I have pretty much come to the same conclusion as you - the two metals, although different, are very close on the galvanic series and thus...

    Galvanic Corrosion question for the experts

    I have been asked to review the corrosion potential of a bolted joint. The fastener material is MP35N. This fastener is being used to bolt together two pieces of Monel K-500. The environment will be in seawater and the flow rates around the fastener head are likely to be very very low if any at...

    Surface Thicken problem?

    I consider myself to be an intermediate user of SW. I taught myself to use it and have been using it professionally for about 2 years now. I just don't have that much experience with surfaces... Thanks for the help.

    Surface Thicken problem?

    It's perhaps not the most elegant solution, but I offset the spline and just revolved the contour as solid in the first place. Thanks for the help! Adam

    Surface Thicken problem?

    my fundamental problem is my lack of experience with SW in general and with splines in particular.

    ok, thanks, ill give it a looksy...

    Surface Thicken problem?

    what offset would you be refering to?

    Surface Thicken problem?

    neglected to mention it's SW07.

    Surface Thicken problem?

    I have created a spline and revolved it around an axis to create a "cup like surface". Im trying to thicken it to create a solid and i get a rebuild error "Face which failed check". Any help on this one? Thanks

    titanium Maximum bolt torque

    HA, i didnt even look at the reference for the equation but you sure are right, that is one heck of an obscure reference. I challenge someone to get a hold of it haha. I probably wont be using the second equation as it is less conservative and it appears that the use of the stress area formula...

    titanium Maximum bolt torque

    Ok, Thanks for clearing that up. I appreciate the help. Adam

    titanium Maximum bolt torque

    From "An Introduction to the Design and Behavior of Bolted Joints (Mechanical Engineering (Marcell Dekker))" There are multiple formulas used for stress area because each one has a different factor of safety- one is more conservative than the other. I found it this morning :o) Oh and also...

    titanium Maximum bolt torque

    Hello, I am trying to determine the maximum allowable torque to be applied to te a 3/8-16UNC-2A Bolt made of the following materials: Ti CP1(Grade4) Yield=70ksi Ti CP4(Grade1) Yield=25ksi Ti 6A1-V4 Yield= 120ksi I have found some formulas that relate to steel in the Machinery's handbook 23rd...

    SW Keeps freezing every 30 seconds

    It wasnt so much mouse related as it was Microsoft Crap Intellipoint 6.1 related. Manually stopping Ipoint did the trick.

    SW Keeps freezing every 30 seconds

    apparenetly, Ipoint.exe version 6.1 is buggy. I disabled it after noticing that the freezes were occuring whenever i attempted to select an "entity" ie. left click on something. I disabled ipoint.exe and all is fine now. Thanks for the mouse pointer corblimeylimey!

    Solidworks 2007 cpu usage

    TTT :o) I was having the same problems with my setup. I'm running winxp pro sp2.0 and SW 2006 Sp5.0. I disabled Ipoint.exe and all is fine. I had the same black and white frozen screen as was reported beforehand.

    SW Keeps freezing every 30 seconds

    Now that I think about it, the freeze happens randomly when I click on something with the Bluetooth mouse, I upgraded to SP5.0 right about the same time I started using the BT mouse. I'm going to try and remove it and see what happens before reinstalling SW. Adam
