I don't think anyone can deny GD&T is not very intuitive, unlike the concept of +- dimensioning which anyone can understand. I have never been in a precision manufacturing environment but I have never seen GD&T used except for a flatness callout here and there

Fatigue is strongly affected by surface finish since most cracks will initiate on the surface and will often be the leading cause of the fatigue failure. I am not sure but I think it is just a safety factor kind of thing, it just decreases the allowable max value by a certain percentage. (i.e...

I agree, while English is wide-spread in Europe, it is in fact way less than one might think. If you match a job description perfectly you will get it. If you don't (and that's the vast majority of the time) if you don't speak the local language you won't get the job.

I was just here minding my own business and did a Google search and what appeared on top as the advertorial link? Reminds me of Autodesk paying for advertising on taxi cabs at a Solidworks convention, or maybe it was the other way around?

Forget it in CATIA V5.

Memory leak when running scripts? That'll teach ya.

Many things are intended to do many things....but everyone always has their own agendas.

AI and expert systems should have been much bigger today already! Wasn't there the biggest amount of buzz around expert systems in the late 80s? Why has this not seen more uptake by now?? I think people are just afraid of displacing their jobs, which is a fair thing to worry about I suppose. I...

I guess you're right. Oh well, at least life isn't that bad. Still live in the first world [afro]

It's not a manifesto, I'm just saying the world is a sad place.

It harkens back to something I've read a while ago on the INCOSE website an article from 1992 it was about how Systems Engineering techniques could apply to education. Briefly it was divided into four levels: 1. Schools develop some curriculum for you, little thought is given to its meaning or...

I guess you do need a foundation, but the point of education is to mold people into obedient workers.

It's funny I was looking for the same thing a few days ago, I don't think it's possibly

Two shoes [upsidedown]

Foundation is a lie, your brain is plastic and learns all the time. You don't need to be taught the details of everything, learning works best when it is done just-in-time.

But you'll look back 50 years from now and be like "I did water treatment my whole life."

I stopped caring a long time ago, I think that's clear. I don't believe in Hollywood, we either get lucky or we don't. You get lucky enough times you feel good about yourself and what you do, and you're happy. You get unlucky enough times and you get bitter and resentful. We're all, only human.

That's why hierarchies are a bad way to distribute governance. Governance should be everyone's responsibility and it should be assured through clean, and efficient processes. In most companies it's 'ensured' by paying some higher up manager a fat sum of money. That works too, most of the time...

I think you'd be surprised how children and teenagers are honest and haven't yet learned to rationalize everything, rationalizing is a coping mechanism we all develop to cope in this rotten world. But that doesn't make it right. I'd trust a teenager more than a middle manager when it comes to...

I think it's QC 101 that you never rely on 'one guy' to have to check everything. "If you didn't want your wing re-worked, then don't expect me to never make mistakes" would be my approximate exclamation. I have been in a similar position with a sheet metal part, on the flat pattern it was...
