    Representation of four start thread and manufacturing

    Hello Metalart, I measured the pitch by counting the number of threads per inch. So there were 20 threads per inch, but, they were 4 starts. So it meant, it had only 5 threads per inch from one start. Hope this makes sense. I wonder why you would say that it would be a 1/4-80, 4 start. Hope...

    Representation of four start thread and manufacturing

    I'am sorry diamondjim, I really did'nt follow your question. I don't want to show the excess partial thread. Just want to know the standard representation of a four start thread on both male and a female part drawing. And my second question is (I'am repeating this!) if this part is to be...

    Problem with Assembly product structure

    Hello Group, I found the solution, it was a basic thing, and probably one of the most important thing to worry about in assembly. It was so simple as setting my computer time to an earlier time (i don't know how it happened!). It was set a month ago, sometime in August. And the model and...

    Problem with Assembly product structure

    When I tried loading components, its just hanging the system. I tired with Load Reference Documents OFF. Its just not alowing me to load any of the parts, does this mean all the parts are corrupt? keeps giving me Incident error. Except for 2 parts which did load, which were cleaned by CATDUAV5...

    Problem with Assembly product structure

    Hello Group, I found a way to open the file, by changing the Options-> General->Document->Other folder and specifying the folders which had all the sub and main assemblies. But just can't see the assembly in the catia window, I can see the tree will all the parts, constraints and assembly...

    Problem with Assembly product structure

    Hello Group! I am having a major problem with my assemblies. I have an assembly with around 10 sub assemblies saved in different folders. I've constrained the parts in 'n' number of ways. The main assembly was all working fine until I had to delete an unrelated part saved in one of the sub...

    Any add-ins in Catia for Gear, sprocket, screws etc.

    Hello Everyone, I had a question whether Catia has any add-ins or macro's which will enable standard, gear, sprocket, screw, bolts, nuts,etc. designs. Like some of the standard components used in Mechanical design. If someone has used CADKEY, they might know of DRAFT-PAK. I' am checking for...

    Need help on irreversible screw drive system

    Hello all, Thanks a lot for all your advice, i had a question for thruthefence's suggestion , I had a chance to check out the Cessna 500 trim actuator system. And it really works perfect for our application. But is there any place I can get more details on their system, like vednors, specs for...

    Need help on irreversible screw drive system

    Hello, I am trying to design an irreversible actuator system for trim assembly in small jets. I'am having problems with the present ACME threads, for linear motion. So we are designing it with a thread system with 4 leads. When I say 4 leads, its got 4 different threads starting on the same...

    Moment of Inertia for a 2D section view in drafting

    Hi there, I would like to know whether, there is any way I could get the 2D moment of inertia values of a section view in drafting module. Also like to know, if I could get the 2D moment of inertia values from a split assembly (MI for whole assembly), I was able to get MI values for individual...
