    DELMIAWorks VIN Generation and BOM's

    Hello, We are currently using DELMIAWorks and are looking to get into VIN Generator within the program. The problem or question we have is we are unsure how the weights are calculated for the entire product we are making. For reference, we have a Luggage Rack that we created a BOM for, when you...

    Macro to Create Weldment via a User Field

    Hello everyone, I am looking to automate our process here at my office to simplify the part creation process. We use Weldments to create all of our tubular pieces in SOLIDWORKS but the process is absolutely abysmal for us and repetitive as we have only two CAD Engineers. We are currently...

    Trailer Example

    Hello, I am currently working on a design for a Project. I have been tasked with building a trailer, I know the COG and the lengths to the tire/axle from hitch and rear. My problem is finding my axle placement, I don't have a tongue weight and am unable to figure out how to find the proper...

    Understanding proper placement of a trailer axle

    Hello everyone, General discussion type of question to see what others are thinking, I have noticed that some companies when buying a trailer have multiple axle placements for for the same size trailer, for example a 8.5X26 from one company has a different placement than a 8.5x26 from another...

    Castor Wheel Contact Patch

    Hello again all! Simple question I'm assuming, but I can't seem to get the information I'm looking for via the web so I thought I'd try here. Working on a project where I need to find the contact patch of castor wheels on a Mr. Big Tool Box. There are 8 castor wheels that are 7" x 2" in size...

    Winch Problem

    Hello All, I am just trying to understand the FBD of this winch design I am working on. Attached is a pretty rough sketch but overall I am attaching a winch via 4 hex bolts and 4 nuts to a inch thick piece of wood. What would the forces be at the bolts themselves? I know the force direction...

    BOM Export with Multiple Configurations /Common Parts

    Yo, Hope everyone's week is going strong, I just had a question about BOM's. In Solidworks, I have an assembly with around 10 configurations. Most of these configurations contain common and uncommon parts. I was wondering if any one could maybe direct me on how to create a table that contains...

    Creating a Sketch from Sheet Metal Design to create a Part Profile

    Yo, Back at y'all with another question that is probably more simple than I think... I'm currently working on a project to create some Aluminum trim and decided to use the Sheet Metal tool in SolidWorks as we use a Bending Machine here to get desired angles/hem's. A photo of the Side Profile...

    Uneven Results in Fusion 360 Simulation

    Yo, I'm currently running a simulation on a fully symmetric assembly, all other weak spots are symetric on each side except here. The force is acting at the front most point of the assembly and is in the center where the blue dot is. Just trying to figure out why it is so unsymmetrical...

    Autodesk Fusion 360 - How to use Remote Load's in simulation to be defined by an area

    Yo, Reaching out to see if anyone here can help. I'm fairly new to Fusion 360 and have had prior experience in SOLIDWORKS Simulation but I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out if an action is possible. I'm currently creating a solid tube that will go into a receiver and another part, the blue...

    Subassembly Configurations and Suppressing Parts

    Yo I have an assembly I'm currently working on that includes subassembly's and parts. One of my subassemblies has a configuration inside it to change from a regular wall to an angled piece. When I change to this configuration inside the subassembly, I'd like to have some parts be suppressed...
