    Solidworks 2021 local interaction

    Has anyone figured out the difference between gap stabilization and contact gap? I mean both of them works in the same way. One defines the gap to considered as gap. The other defines more or less the same thing. One can just use one of them and leave out the other thing totally. That's what I...

    Comparison between work and rack arrangement and hydraulic cylinder

    There is a 10mm gap between the wall and the load. It should remain the same. Basically the side of the load must be parallel to the wall.

    Comparison between work and rack arrangement and hydraulic cylinder

    I completely understand. It is my first internship. Part time and WFH. Honestly, after each meeting I am getting new information and I need to implement them in the already built design based on previous inputs. Fine I'll try to give a gist that contains as many facts as I can give. There is a...

    Comparison between work and rack arrangement and hydraulic cylinder

    @3DDave, Again I'm sorry for inadequate information. If you would please let me know what other information I should provide.

    Comparison between work and rack arrangement and hydraulic cylinder

    The load will have support underneath. But it will occupy all the support there is.

    Comparison between work and rack arrangement and hydraulic cylinder

    Sorry if my information is lacking. Our project cannot be disclosed entirely. @MintJulep, depending on the client it will be done once in a while. We are assuming once in a year. It needs to be pulled and pushed so winch is not an option. @Jboggs, the chain loop is a good idea but we lack...

    Comparison between work and rack arrangement and hydraulic cylinder

    The load will be supported on rollers. There are other major limitations in our project that rules out hydraulic cylinder. And moreover, it should be telescopic. About that worm and rack arrangement, I am thinking about making it a rack and pinion arrangement because it can be very difficult to...

    Comparison between work and rack arrangement and hydraulic cylinder

    Thank you for all your feedbacks. I want to move a load of about 10 tons through a distance of 15 feet horizontally. Whatever mechanism I use, due to space constraints, I'll have to push or pull the load three times to get it in the desired position. I believe the hydraulic cylinder will cost...

    Comparison between work and rack arrangement and hydraulic cylinder

    I need to design a mechanism to move a load horizontally. So, I came up with two choices viz. Telescopic cylinder and worm and rack arrangement. Which one will be more efficient in terms of operation and cost? Thanks in advance.

    help with auto constraint

    whenever i want to draw a line from a quadrant point of a circle, an automatic tangent constraint pops up between the two curves. therefore the line is never from the quadrant point. it always shifts along the circle. please help me. thanks in advance.

    thanks #Ehaviv. though i can't believe that it was right under my nose. lol.

    how to make selected objects visible thru other objects?

    i am working in an assembly and whenever i select something from the navigator which is behind other object(s) it doesn't get highlighted. i have to rotate the entire screen in order to see which object has been selected. thanks in advance.

    edge blend pattern

    Blend all Instances option is still not helping. everytime it shows 'edge blend cannot be patterned without its body parents'

    edge blend pattern

    thanks Xwheelguy. but why put it in a separate environment variable?

    edge blend pattern

    i can understand that. but there should be a method to pattern out edge blends.

    edge blend pattern

    i am modelling a simple spur gear. it just seems impossible to pattern an edge blend at the root of the teeth. i have tried using feature and face pattern but all in vain. in case of former it shows 'edge blend cannot be patterned without its body parents' and 'the pattern cannot be applied. the...
