Very, VERY new to PSpice, and using PSpice for TI. I've got a resistor network set up with a voltage source, and my simulations are working properly. Is there any way to set up an output that adds together the power dissipated by resistors named R1, R2, and R5, for example? I've got 30+...
Obligatory: this might not be the correct forum for this question, so please point me in the right direction if so.
I'm looking at an application that uses 14/4 wire to send <2A to solenoids at 12VDC. The cable would be routed around 80 feet along a piece of farm equipment in a field. I'm...
Looking for some general weigh-in regarding what constitutes a part "name" vs what constitutes a part "description". Someone recently told me that separating Name and Description is going the way of the dodo because "everything is in a [PDM system] now, so you can just search for it". I'm not...
We have a customer who wants a set of stands (fixed height supports) OSHA certified for a manufacturing environment. I spent two and a half years doing tool design, but I've never heard of a custom tool or fixture being "OSHA certified". Anyone have experience with getting a custom device...
I'm very much a beginner with GD&T. My intention here is to say that the top plate must be parallel to the bottom plate (to a certain extent) and the center of the hole i the top plate must be aligned with the center of the triangle in the base plate when set on the base plate. My current...
Hello all,
Short version:
Do any of you work in the renewable energy industry, specifically solar? Please recommend any useful certifications or areas of knowledge that would be desirable when applying for jobs as a Mechanical. Thanks.
Long version:
I'm plotting a move in the next 2 years that...
Hello all,
Can anyone tell me why torsion springs are always installed such that the applied load closes the coil, rather than opens the coil? Phrased differently: what would be the danger in designing a spring that opposes a force in the "unwinding" direction?
Thanks in advance.

Is there any reason why a joint would contain a flat washer under the flange head of a flange nut?
Extra info:
I'm looking at a joint that holds a hardened steel disk to a hub (4 joints per disk/hub). The joint in question has a carriage bolt on the hub side of the disk (carriage head in the...
