Ben,
Thanks for your respons.
The different nodes is indeed my problem. Is there a way to define some sort of alternative node?

We have 3 floating ADVES licenses and 2 node-locked ADV MACH's which have local license servers. The ADV MACH's have the license borrowing option.
My question: If I'm on a machine that normaly takes an ADVES license from the server (floating) and there's non available, is there a way to see the...
Yes, but still you have the problem of developing the deformable part. Once it's Ok it should stay like it is, but when you're defining one it can be a very frustrating job to remake the deform every time.
A solution would be to be able to save the deform definition and import it when you...
We just went over to NX6! We'll be fine with that for the coming 5 years at least.
I would prefer a lower release rate and better testing. NX6 already has a MP3! Software developers also underestimate the workload generated by a change to a new release.
Who will end this madness?

Ben,
Thanks for your valuable input. The only reason we would opt for Teamcenter is that we are renegotiating our license bundles. Our current bundles date from 10 years ago and we were now proposed to switch to the MACH series. The problem is in our view we loose a lot of functionality and...
Hi all,
We've been using UG for about 10 years. Currently we have 3 CAD seats and 1 CAM seat. Everyone is working on his own parts/assembly's, there's no collaborate design and we don't use BOM's. Assembly versioning is somethimes messy, but seldom problematic (it's more in the sence that you...
Thanks Phillpd for the usefull advise.
To John: I recognise that units and dimensionality can be very usefull. But I find it frustrating when a software makes decissions for me that I can't override. Moreover it's not consistent.
An example: I have an nx1 part that contains an expression for...
We recently upgraded from NX3 to NX6. Eversince we run into one problem after the other and all these problems are related to expression units.
Expression units were introduced in NX3 and in all pre-NX3 files used in the newer versions the units were left blank. NX3 ignored this, but now in NX6...
I have no experience with carburizing, but in standard heat treatments cast iron has the tendancy to "grow" when being subjected to temperature cycles. A bit like multiple layerd wood plates that have become wet. Moreover it will have no strength at those temperatures.
Depending on how many...
Lang,
Just out of curiosity: I think the 2D blade chape normally is a volute, but how do you determine the angle of the blade (from a geometric point of view, not a UG modeling point of view)?

Gieter,
I would like to compare 2 video files with calculation results side by side. Does anyone know of a software (as always preferably free) that can do this?
Thanks for any help,
S355J0 is a common unalloyed steel with a yield of min. 355MPa and charpy's at 0°C (J0). It is comparable to A572 grade 50. Machining shouldn't pose a problem.
B.E. Thanks for your valuable information. This is the first link to a thread table with larger diameters. I'm sure I can make use of it.
Sorry for the late reply. I was on hollydays.
I have an impeller with an internal thread. A thread pitch gauge for Whitworth 55° 11G-5/8 fits fine. The inner diameter is 123.8 mm or 4.874" (4 8/7?). I searched the internet for Whitworth thread tables but they all stop at smaller diameters.
Can anyone give a hint?
Thanks in advance,

Metengr, Arunmrao,
To be quite honnest the question arose because we did cast a heavy sectioned piece (430 mm) in a CA6NM-like alloy and accidentally had 0.077% of Nitrogen in the melt due to a mix-up of ingredients.
I contacted CTI UK and they calculated a maximum solubility of 0.14%. They...
Metengr,
I double checked on the 1.4313 material: according to the Euronorm (EN10088-1,2&3, EN10028-7, EN10272) this is the specified composition:
C<=0.05, Si<=0.70, Mn<=1.50, P<=0.040, S<=0.015, Cr=12.0-14.0, Ni=3.50-4.50, Mo=0.30-0.70 and indeed N>=0.020 without a maximum specified...
What is the maximum amount of N that can be tolerated in CA6NM?
Apart from possible porosity problems due to the solubility, N is an austenite stabilisor. I expect the more nitrogen, the more retained austenite. From what percentage is this becoming a problem?
A close match to CA6NM: DIN/SEW...
Gentlemen,
Thanks to all for your valuable comments.
On the metallurgical aspects it is my understanding that the advantage of a EAF is it's shallow pool and the large surface area offering a good contact with the slag.
Induction furnaces are deep with a small surface. Is it correct to put...
First my apologies for posting a question that has extensively been dealt with in 2007 and 2004
