I'm stuck on a coding project for work. The task is to create cylinders along each segment of a line in the 3d Sketch. Each body will be colored based off of some values in a table, which I don't have right now, so I am instead trying to assign a color.
First problem is that I can't get the...
I'm needing to design a bridge type structure that is to be used inside of a tunnel. The purpose of the bridge is to allow work to be done on a small section of the tunnel floor while allowing equipment to pass up and over. The bridge will have ramps at either end of the 20' length for small...
Is there a way to get the face/surface that a projected curve is created on? I would assume there is since I can right click on the curve in the feature tree and view it's parent/child relationship. I tried setting the curve as a feature (swFeat) and then get it's parents through arr =...
I'm not too familiar with using the SolidWorks simulation tools and would like some feedback on these setups. The first simulation has a 56,000 lbf load applied upwards to a circular region on the bottom face of the L angle. The second simulation has a 56,000 lbf load applied to a region of the...
I am in need of guidance performing a structural simulation on a scaffold. The end result is to determine the maximum loading the scaffolding can undergo. I am having problems running the simulation.
Details:
Scaffolding is composed of two sides, each of which are created by welding together...
I'm trying to run a structural study and I am a little confused this being my first time doing this. There are 4 identical scaffolds made with A36 steel. The bottom scaffold supports the top three as well as a volume of water having a weight of 15689.59 lbs. I need to figure out the maximum...

I have a csv file with coordinates of a quarry. When I open up the file there is no elevation showing. It's almost as if SolidWorks flattens the point cloud onto one plane. Why is this happening? Attached is a file containing csv...
I have a horizontal hollow cylinder (capped at both ends) that also has 5 disk supports inside the cylinder. The cylinder is fixed at both ends. The cylinder is filled with water. There is a shaft that runs through the cylinder also. I would like to know what the deflection of the cylinder is...
Suppose I have a 3d model and on a surface I have holes. I want to run multiple case studies on different size holes. For meshing, I would partition the 3d model so that the holes are in a cell. I also mesh all surrounding cells, leaving the cell with the holes in it to inherit the edge seeds of...
I am trying to do a structural study on a u-channel. I modeled half of the u-channel in Abaqus to utilize its symmetry. I have a load of 97.961025 N spread over an area of 0.002852 m2 but since I am using a symmetric model I use half the area to calculate the pressure load. The pressure load I...
I'm working on a structural member that is undergoing pure bending. The load is at the end of the member. I am modeled this as a 3 dimensional solid. I meshed using the bottom up approach and associated the meshed regions to their appropriate geometries. The problem I am having is that when I...
I need to be able to show a spring expanding in a motion analysis study. I need motion analysis because I have some parts that have solid body contact with other parts. I want to show the whole mechanism movement in a video. Motion analysis does not allow the deformation of a spring. Is there...
I am working on a SolidWorks project of my own doing and I need to be able to come up with a set of parametric equations that describe the x and y coordinate of a point on a linkage. I figured that Adams could possibly help me with this. I've been trying to come up with the equation on my own...
