I have a need to visually represent the flow into and out of a storage tank through a small dual port fitting in the lower area wall. I can get flow into the tank but can't get the flow to trace into the tank, disperse and then go back out of the tank through the fitting. I've tried...

gfbotha is very accurate. In addition to his procedure you can simulate the wind speed of cooling by positioning a "fan" on one end of your model and then provide the proper data to simulate the wind cooling in addition to convection cooling which woud occur at a full stop. In order to do the...

We have a small number of fasteners (less than a hundred pieces total), bolts/nuts/hose clamps/etc. and only show a basic "set" of hardware pieces assembled together (i.e. only one bracket and associated hardware to check length, diameter, placment, etc.) and hide the balance we've put in there...

Thanks guys, I think the method of using an outside dxf file and importing it will be easier. The lettering is a "Beer Company" name and it's being embossed on a billet cone shaped tap handle for their special celebration edition stuff or something. The import function will allow us to use their...

I have a need to display an extruded name on a tapered cylindrical surface (like a long funnel) but all I can do is this... and I can extrude text from the surface with the simple plane located on the surface trick and then extrude to the surface, but I need to taper the text from large letter...

Hey, thanks a bunch bvanheil. I understand a little more than I did. It's all about the money huh?

I realize it isn't listed as an "approved card" but so what... there's a hundred high end 'gamer cards' that walk all over these so-called approved certified video cards but come on now, is it really a propriatary thing between ATI and SW or is this realview something that's specific to those...

Is there anything that can be adjusted or tweaked on my ATI X1600 card to allow it to display the realview graphics? It's twice the card that the lowest version of the Fire GL is and you'd think it'd be fine to show anything SW has to throw at it. I hate to sell my x1600 for $200 and buy a $90...

Has anyone seen a SW model of a transmission case or complete unit? We need a model to do a mock up in a bigger assembly for some alignment issues and bracket problems in a custom application and need a model to finish the details with. I hate to start a model from scratch if it's already done...

Keep in mind gnetlemen that you can easily creat different BOM's for different drawings or uses. In the part's property file info, you can add dozens of different pieces of info and only reference what you want to on the specific BOM. On some part files, we have info for suppliers, weight...

Adding additional configurations is great for different sections you might want to explode bringing the viewers attention to that selected area, and it takes up less paper space I've had as many as 4 exploded views (exploded configs) on a complex drawing. It's easy when you know what to do huh?

Check out FAFCO.COM and contact a fella there by the name Freeman Ford, he's the best bet for info relative to it, they are currently in prototype semi-commercial production of a seawater cooling system using PE bundles submerged in a seawater bath for hot (90 degrees C) process water cooling in...

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY WE WON'T UPGRADE AND PAY THE HIGH PRICE OF MAINTENANCE FOR THE 2004 VERSION. THE NEW BENEFITS DON'T OFFSET THE RIDICULUS COST OF TRYING TO RE-ACQUIRE A 'CORRUPTED' PART OR ASSEMBLY WHEN WORKING THRU VARIOUS VERSIONS OF SOLIDWORKS. If everyone out there who has had to even...

"company server on G:\Manufacturing\Engineering" is the present location of the folder and it will be moved to: "exodus\K:\Engineering" since a new hard drive dedicated to only solidworks will have the drive letter designation of "k:" on this network desktop...

I'm in the process here at AES of moving ALL files, folders, etc. that pertain to our solidworks 2001+ assemblies, parts, etc. that are used in our machines to another computer. The server now stores this main folder called "engineering" and it has many, many sub-folders within it that...
