    extruded solids' resolution

    Is there a setting that allows me to change the resolution (not sure if that is even the correct terminology) of an extruded solid? When you extrude a sketch, the solid extrusion is not as smooth as the actual sketch. An example of this is in the picture attached. The light blue line is the...

    Ball-and-socket snap-fit design question

    I am working on a design for a ball-and-socket snap-fit and I am wondering if anyone can explain what the lead/assembly angle is? The ball part of the snap fit will be attached to a horizontal surface and is inserted perpendicular to the socket surface (both are horizontal). Does that mean my...

    Creating a 2D Pro/E drawing with only IGS file

    I have an 3D IGS file of a part that I need to make into a 2D drawing (either in Pro/E or in AutoCAD) complete with dimensions. It needs to be editable. I need a way to do this without having to actually redraw everthing because it is a very complex part and I do not have all of the necessary...

    Determining the effective thermal conductivity of a sand/aluminum mix

    @Berkshire I need to know the theoretical k so that I can compare it to an experimental value. @IRstuff I know the proportions of the sand and aluminum, and I will be assuming the sand and aluminum particles are the same size (not true, but the shavings are very small so it will be close...

    Determining the effective thermal conductivity of a sand/aluminum mix

    Problem: This should be a very simple problem, I just want to make sure I am doing it correctly. I have a box of sand. I am adding aluminum shavings to it. How do I determine the effective thermal conductivity of the mixture. Known: Density of sand and aluminum Mass of sand and aluminum in...
