    SW Animation - Video Editing Software

    Hi, I wanted to ask if anyone is using video editing software to modify animations that are made using SolidWorks. If so, what software do you use, what you like/dislike about it, and what kind of editing you do with it (with regards to the SW animation). I have been using the motion study...

    Galvanic Corrosion in Cooling Circuit - Does This Logic Make Sense?

    Im designing a system that has copper mirrors mounted within an aluminum housing. The copper mirrors will require water cooling, and the water is delivered through jackets in the aluminum housing. From a heat transfer perspective, it would be ideal if the water came in contact with the backside...

    Bearing Assembly Contact Loads & Distribution - Free Body Diagram

    Terry, thanks for the suggestion. The loading cases vary on this system, both in terms of magnitude and direction. Sorry, I didn't include that in my original description. I don't think I have an option to bias the roller position based on anticipated deflections, because each load case would...

    Bearing Assembly Contact Loads & Distribution - Free Body Diagram

    Thanks Dougs. For cam follower sizing and FOS considerations I will take the conservative route and assume the entire load passes through a single point in my 2D representation. For the sake on discussion, if someone were trying to predict the real world loading case, does anyone know of a...

    Bearing Assembly Contact Loads & Distribution - Free Body Diagram

    Thanks for the input Doug. I agree that the case you described certainly simplifies that calculations.

    Bearing Assembly Contact Loads & Distribution - Free Body Diagram

    Hey folks, I'm designing an assembly that looks and behaves similarly to a cylindrical roller bearing and I'd like to get your help on the best approach to take in calculating some force loads. The "rollers" are cam followers that mount to a rotating center assembly. There is a stationary...
