    Simple Coefficient of Friction Calculation / Principle Behind Friction Test Machine

    Thanks everyone for the help. I'm glad my calculations are correct. It makes perfect sense that they dropped the "/2" to simplify the equation since it doesn't impact the comparison of different tubes, which is the case 99% of the time. That might also be the reason why no one brought this up in...

    Simple Coefficient of Friction Calculation / Principle Behind Friction Test Machine

    Hi, I worked in medical catheter industry and recently had some problems with simple CoF calculation. Because we normally work with catheters and tubes, instead of using standard ASTM D1894 testing method, we usually use so called "Pinch Test" to determine the CoF of the catheter surface. I...

    How to adjust feature control frame position in SolidWorks

    Thanks Jassco, but that's strange, I never really touch the default font of SW before (which is Century Gothic). What fonts are you using? Any thoughts on how to fix the font?

    Simplest way to dimensioning symmetrical features

    Thanks drawoh! Profile tolerance works, but then I need additional basic dimensions to the edges to fully define the true position (right?). I found it is a bit difficult to avoid dimension lines and extension lines crossing each other. Also, it does not show my design intent that all those...

    Simplest way to dimensioning symmetrical features

    I'm trying to find a simple and effective way to dimensioning symmetrical features. There are many threads on this forum that are discussing about how to correctly dimensioning the symmetrical features. I definitely learned a lot from those. However, in some cases the part has so many...
