    19 inch Rack

    Thanks ArtemTat, The 3dcontent had something pretty close that I can use, I appreciate the tip. Believe it or not my company didn't pay for toolbox, so I don't have a registration code to activate it. Go figure :) Thanks again, Bob "You can observe a lot just by watching" Yogi Berra

    19 inch Rack

    Hi all, I've done a search here trying to find a CAD model of a rack with no luck. I'm hoping someone can point me to a web site that at least has 2-D drawings of a rack. I know the mounting hole standards, I'm just trying to model a rack for a proposal; the dimensions for the vertical posts...

    Equation of a line

    Thanks all, I've gone ahead and created the part using a table of discrete X and Y values. You're right lumenharold about the fixed points working. Talking with my machinist, by making the points close enough to each other and taking into account the tool radius, my STEP file into the CNC...

    Equation of a line

    Hi all, I hope someone can help me, I've tried searching this forum but no luck. I need to create an acrylic lens with the shape determined by the following equation: Y=50 -2.75(sqrtX), x=0-250, in mm. I'm using SW 2006, SP0. I use equations for setting dimensions, but can't seem to figure...

    Bi-metallic strip fabrication

    Thanks, I thought it was probably cold rolling, but that was just an assumption. I appreciate a definite answer (plus the web site). Bob "You can observe a lot just by watching" Yogi Berra

    Bi-metallic strip fabrication

    Hi all, I've got a quick question; how are bi-metallic strips formed ? Laser welding ? Cold/Hot rolling ? Plasma spray ? Thanks for any help. Bob "You can observe a lot just by watching" Yogi Berra

    Galvanic area effect/proximity

    Hedging your bets I see :) Actually I'm looking at threading a connector with a Ti body into a large 4130 steel housing, so the area ratio will be good. This will be sitting in ~600 meters of seawater, little or no current at that depth. I was initially thinking the area ratio would negate any...

    Galvanic area effect/proximity

    Oops, I meant at the contact point with the cathode. Sorry for the poor proof reading. "You can observe a lot just by watching" Yogi Berra

    Galvanic area effect/proximity

    I have a general galvanic corrosion question, I'm early in the design phase so I have no firm details as yet. I know a large anode/small cathode is ideal, but in general will the anode corrode faster at the contact point with the anode (e.g. a steel housing with a Ti connector body) or will the...

    Mechanical Engineering or Engineering Technology??

    In my 25 years experience (BSME) having a MET degree rather than a BSME degree WILL cause you some limitations. This has much more to do with the piece of paper rather than ability, but the truth is it can be a roadblock. If your resume has MET rather than BSME, many HR departments will toss...

    Measure Dialog Box

    Hi all. I'm running SW 2006, SP4.1 and have a problem with the measure tool. Up until a couple days ago things worked fine, the dialog box would pop up when I clicked on the little tape measure icon. Now for some reason I can't get the dialog box to open. I press the icon, the pointer turns into...

    COSMOSXpress and simulation

    Thanks MadMango, you saved me alot of time dinking around trying to figure it out. Looks like it's back to Roark & Young :) Thanks again. "You can observe a lot just by watching" Yogi Berra

    COSMOSXpress and simulation

    Hi all, I hope someone can help me. I've done a keyword search and found nothing to help, so I'll try posting. I have an assembly that I would like to load in tension using COSMOSXpress, but it tells me I have to run a physical simulation. The options are motors and springs, not really what I'm...

    D-Monel Mech. Properties

    Thanks everyone. The nomenclature for some of the Monel alloys is a bit confusing. I feel good now about using monel-s in place of the 15-15LC. Thanks for the links kenvlach, I must have hit >50 sites during my search, but I missed these. "You can observe a lot just by watching" Yogi Berra

    D-Monel Mech. Properties

    Thanks metengr; This is the info I was looking for, curious the ASTM spec has chemical composition info but no mechanical props, I wonder why ? Anyway, I am trying to find a non-magnetic replacement for 15-15LC that I can cast ($ issue), and the foundry reccomended this, but had no info on...

    D-Monel Mech. Properties

    Hi all; I've tried to find, unsuccesfully, the mechanical properties (tensile and yield mainly) for Monel, A494, Grade M-25S. The ASTM spec has no data for this alloy other than hardness. I believe the Federal Spec for this is QQ-N-288 Comp. D, but again no data. Hours of web searching for...

    Spaceballs (3d mouse)

    I'm using a Spaceball 3003 I bought on e-bay. On my last job they supplied the engineers with spaceballs, but not here. Well worth the cost of buying one myself.
