PROBLEM SOLVED!!!
After a couple of hours with CAD support on the phone, we managed to fix the issue with SW generating (or copying) new templates to our custom file location.
The solution was in the SW registry. We tried to map the path to the file folders, changing permission on folders...
3DDave: I've contacted the IT dep. to help me setting the files / folders in read only. Hopefully this will help us a bit.
SBaugh: The problem concerns the templates, not the sheet formats. And all three (3) templates are being auto-created constantly. It's interesting what you write about...
Hi Jassco,
Thanks for replying.
Yes, I know about the settings for default and file locations. All of those are pointing to correct locations, but still keeps changing for the "default templates", not the path, but the file names.
The templates that are generated are stored in the same...
Hi all,
I have some problems with SW autogenerating new templates for part, assy and drawing each time I create a new file.
We have the templates stored in a common area in a cloud service (due to the PLM system we are using) where also colleagues from other parts of the world have their...
Hi all, and thanks for replying to my thread.
The annealing is needed primary to recover ductility, but increased corrosion resistance is a bonus, but not needed. Even 304L material for this application would be just fine.
(Note: the availability of 314 is not better than 316 in Norway, so this...
Thanks for replying TugboatEng.
These cold worked parts will be part of a welded assembly => should the annealing treatment be done before or after welding of the complete assembly?
(The assembly consist of both cold worked and pre-machined parts, all of the same material, which will be...
Hi,
We have a stainless steel plate of 6mm thickness that we are bending during fabrication, thus the material will be cold worked.
For this particular application, the increased strength / hardness is not something we want, actually we would like to keep the excellent elongation properties for...
Hi folks,
Just to give you an update:
After consulting with Class society, the (prelim) conclusion is that this is not to be considered a pressure vessel, and does not have to follow those rules or calculated accordingly.
But we will use FEA analysis to check the strength of the design...
All, thanks for replying.
@LittleInch
I'm aware that box shaped pressure vessels are not a big hit. But in this particular case, using a circular shape is not an option.
(Sorry, can't go more into details...)
The box is all welded, except for the a lid on the short end. We have done a FEA of...
Hi,
I'm working on a concept design where I need some guidance:
I'm designing a rectangular box shape (don't want to call it a pressure vessel yet) which under normal conditions are subject to slight under-pressure: 0,8 - 0,95 bara. This pressure is maintained by a control system.
In case of a...
