    MCI generation of an assembly, with different section cuts and phases

    Hi everyone, I would require knowledge and experience on this subject. Suppose I have a large assembly, composed of many different components and fluids. The assembly/system will know different phases where it will have different amounts of fluid (i.e. different mass). I would like to have the...

    calculating the mass & volume of section of a part/assembly model in solidworks

    Hi all, I have a part I made on Solidworks and am trying to calculate the volume and mass of only a section of it. I've created a section view of it, starting from the bottom and going upwards towards 1/5 (eventually I would like to measure it for different lengths 1/4, 1/3 etc...). My goal is...

    Scale Factor and Safety Factor in Hypermesh / Optistruct

    Hi, I have question about safety factors. In the software HyperMesh/Optistruct, in the load collectors, when you select the Card Image LOADADD, you can apply a scale factor (real). This Scale Factor for me resembles a Safety Factor to me, as it multiplies the value of each load by the scale...

    Factor of Safety design in space craft structures

    Hello everyone, I would like some advice, clarity and guidance on something that I have been debating with my self for a while in regards to Factor of Safety/Safety Factor and Margins of Safety in aerospace structures design. It's generally recommended to design parts in aerospace with a FoS...
