We have what I perceive as very large assemblies. I'm wondering at what size you start to have performance issues and any tips that might help managing these large files? We currently are using ST2. Are there any enhancements provided by ST4 regarding large assemblies that would be helpful?

Thanks for the info. I'm planning on sticking with Windows XP.

Thanks for the reply. I think Solid Edge used to have recommended hardware specs on their old UGS website. Was just on the Siemens website and didn't have any luck.

What are the current hot tickets as far as laptops go for running SE? We have some fairly large assemblies that I occasionally have to get in to. Here's some that I've been looking at: XI PowerGo Duo XT: 4gB DDR2 667MHz PC2-5300 Core2 duo E6750 2.66ghz 2x nvidia geforce G0 8800M GTX 512MB...

Has anyone had experience with piston to valve clearance on a hi-performance gas engine? (ford 302 v8). I know the rule of thumb is .080 intake and .100 exhaust. I've only got .028 on the intake, which I know is not enough. However I want to take the minimum amount of material off the piston...

It was several months ago that I started exploring using Insight for our SE document management. So last I recall we will have to invest in Microsoft Sharepoint and client licenses in order to use SE's Insight. Has there been any new developments since last May in this setup? Where would be a...

Are there any good training courses for Solid Edge in the Northeast? Preferably around Western Pennsylvania?

Thanks for the reply. Awhile ago I dug thru the Machinery Handbook but didn't find a chart or anything directly comparing the two from a yield standpoint. I'm going to revisit it.

What is the advantage of using cold rolled mild steel (round stock) when compared to hot-rolled? Traditionally we've used cold rolled for items like linkages or lightly loaded machined parts; and hot rolled for fabricated parts and weldments. The purchasing guy here says there's no difference...

This will be outside exposed to the atmosphere. Aybee, I'm not sure I understand your statement. "if the stainless is in contact with the aluminium in air then the aluminium will corrode even if the carbon steel is painted" We are looking at either fastening mild steel to the...

We have a project where we have some aluminum ducting that will have mild steel support brackets fastened to them with stainless 304 fasteners. Will mild steel facilitate corrosion between these two metals faster than stainless? (The mild steel will be painted with Dupont Imron prior to...

I'm trying to source a clear wood finish, probably a polyurethane, that has excellent UV properties and is electrically non-conductive. The customer is skeptical of off-the-shelf products so I need to convince him that UV protection is on the order of 8-10 years, or close to it. The wood is...

One more question! What should I use for a friction coefficient? (steel on steel) Rustang

Thanks for the input Desertfox. I do have a question, however. I'm assuming that Dc is the inner diameter of the hub, and Di is the diameter of the shaft? Thanks again, Rustang

I'm looking for information on calculating how much rotational torque and axial force a pressed fit steel hub on a solid steel shaft can withstand before slipping.
