    Solidworks Configurations - file size & non-dimensional differences

    Problem: A part is dimensionally/physically identical in all variations. The only difference is the voltage and material the part is made from. Every combination of voltage and material means there can be dozens of variations. Each variation has a unique part number that needs to show up in a...

    Fluid Flow Questions. Flow rate vs PSI drop. Min pressure diff across a solenoid valve

    Question 1: Do I need a restriction in each branch of our plumbing? According to a variety of sources, we should be limiting the velocity through our PVC pipes to 5 ft/sec. 5 ft/sec can be translated to GPM for each pipe size. If I need to flow 3 GPM thru the branch to Tank A, I can pick...

    Standard for free-standing steel structures - not buildings.

    I'm trying to find any standards concerning the design of free-standing steel structures like the attached image. This structure supports the rails for an overhead automated hoist. Capacity, 2000 lbs. I am concerned that our current analysis of the structure design does not sufficiently look at...
