I had a great mentor who was about 10 years ahead of me on the same career path I wanted to follow. I think I've been emulating my earliest mentors throughout my career and trying hard to do as least as good a job with the up and coming engineers. So much of what you need to know to do your...

Our company routinely asks for this information. I don't think it's at all useful for determining the going rate for a particular job level since all kinds of levels of people apply to open jobs. We participate in salary surveys to determine that info. It does help to determine when people are...

Tim, I don't have specific knowledge of those progams, but I have been exploring the usefullness of scanned point cloud data a lot recently. In every case where we've tried to scan a physical model and use the data to create an Engineering Solid we have followed a similar path. We use...

Can anyone offer an unbiased opinion on the strengths of the two respective processes? Gas Assist (from what I can learn) appears to result in somewhat more expensive tooling (higher pressure), but less material used and better surface finishes. This equates to less painting (no fill coat) and...

Amish, I have done a bit of investigating recently comparing the relative strengths of Rhino and Pro/E, as well as a number of other related pieces of software. I'll offer you what I've learned. Rhino and it's related competitor Alias/Wavefront are Industrial Design software tools. They...

Chris, This is a topic very close to my heart. Unfortunately I have yet to find a good place and/or book that addresses using Pro/E Surfacing for the creation of Plastic parts. In particular, I have a need to use it for reverse-engineering Industrial Design models into fully surfaced files...

Does anyone have an experiences that they can share using any of the above (or other S/W if similar) to design stylized, surfaced models from digitized raw data? What are the pluses and minuses? What method of digitizing have you used? Which S/W works best for surface manipulation? How well...

Does anyone have any experiences that they can share using any of the above tools (or others if similar) in conjunction with Pro/E to create stylized, complex surface models from digitized data? The thought (being recommended by a number of vendors) is that these packages are much more...

I posted this response to a 4/12 item on Parametric BOM's. I think this might be what you're looking for... To fix the Index #'s in a Repeat Region choose: Table/Repeat Region/Fix Index Pick the repeat region (the BOM in this case) Pick the Rows that you want to fix the item# on. If at a...

Sheets, We have purchased two licenses of Procision in our Canadian division and were considering it for purchase to use at our US division as well. As part of the selection process we sent an Engineer to train in the S/W before spending any real $ on it. The Canadian branch hasn't really...

Dom, I hope I can give you a useful reply. I work with, and help make hiring decisions for, both engineers and designers. Our company's job description for a Designer states the following requirement - "Two year technical degree is desired. High School diploma with broad, in-depth...

Scott, We've had some (one model) success with using Cadfix to get troublesome Pro/E surface models into Patran. A direct translation failed due to differences in the precision between the two packages. Cadfix did a "virtual demo" for us on the web in which they took our model...

Jogesh, I would recommend starting with the ASME drafting standards (ASME Standard Y14 - Drafting Standards Package). You can order it at the asme.org website. Try this link: http://www.asmeny.org/cgi-bin/WEB017C?325507+0001+00+00000+NX0093 You can also order bits and pieces of the entire...

Looking for someone with Spiral bevel gearset experience. My question: Would you expect an increase in the torque required to turn a Spiral Bevel gearset in one direction (say Clockwise) vs. the opposite (say CCW). The formulas that I can find say that the transmitted force (and thus the...
