Howdy! I'm designing a part with some curvature-matching and I'd like to produce a spherical indentation in a piece of Nitronic 60 SS. I am wondering if I can expect the surface profile to be reasonable in a cutting operation with a center-cutting ball end mill. If I'd like the indentation...
Here's a question: Can you have a datum referenced @ MMB and also allow translation? Then the datum feature simulator would be sized @MMC and position allowed to move relative to existing portions of DRF.
Application: I have two dowel holes that will have dowel pins in them. A planar surface of...
Hi All,
I just started a new job and got handed back a checked drawing with Red Ink all over it. The points at-issue:
1. Ordinate "Zero" aligned with datum surfaces. I don't operate under a rule where zero must be at a datum surface. Sometimes it is, sometimes not. My philosophy is that I...
Howdy,
I am working on a gas system that operates at about 500 psig with N2. We have a relief valve, a bleed valve and an electronic regulator with exhaust outlets that tie in to an exhaust line.
On the end of the exhaust line I want to put a silencer or muffler, but the pressure is too high...
Hello all,
I recently got a part in from a reputable machine shop my company does a lot of business with. They had sent out a part to be anodized and the finish looks pretty awful. The shop owner called me up to tell me that it wasn't really anyone's fault (but mine, I suppose) because the...
Hello all,
I'm attempting to work through a heat transfer problem and I was hoping to get some advice and clarity about how to model it.
I have a corrugated, double-braided SS tube carrying hot (500-800degC) gas at about 30 bar over a length of a few meters. Tube motion is minimal, so it is...
Hello all,
I'm sure these kinds of questions are very common, although I did not find the help I needed by searching. I think that's because I don't really understand the conceptual nuances of compressible flow; as such it seems I need a bit more help than many here.
In any case I am designing...
