    looking for hex-shaped steel tube

    It can be extruded, but you will have to pay.

    Do U agree

    How exactly might any of this apply to anything? Are we now a forum for entertainment? So I guess I don't agree?

    Intent Manager or Sketcher

    I know that I use intent manager because sometimes it's faster. On the more complex designs, intent manager can change dimensional values and it may not be obvious to the designer. This may lead to errors that are not caught in time.

    Pump Pit Design for Vertical Turbine Pumps

    I agree. I am a pump designer, we manufacture pumps. We do not spec systems.

    Erasing Pipe Centerlines

    It's not a software flaw, it is a layering option.

    cantilever shaft reinforcement

    My first thought, since you asked, is that you suspect "Bending Stress" as the problem. You then state that you plan on fixing it by adding "Tensile" strength to the shaft. These are two different "Stresses" and you are not going to fix bending stress by adding...

    Pipe Threads

    I use "Insert Hole" and then "sketch" the profile of the thread size and taper. This way I get to see the taper and the full thread length. Old fashion lines used in standard drawing practice work fine on the drawings, and the taper is evident. We use ANSI B1.20.1 call out...

    Learning Proe.

    I used the training books available at www.SDCpro.com. "Pro/ENGINEER Tutorial" by Roger Toogood. They were around $90 each a few years ago.

    Disposal of Demineralized Water

    Unfortunately, it is the State you must wait for, and answer to.

    'mix valve' design for lift station

    Sounds like a vortex valve, but they are usually used for flow control. http://www.usfilter.com/water/ProductDescription.asp?WID=25&PID=261 At least contact them, they might know where to start looking.

    Pump Pit Design for Vertical Turbine Pumps

    "I've already made the sump deep enough to satisfy NPSH requirements." You have no idea how strange that sounds. The depth of the sump will only meet it's own requirements. You need to meet the requirements of the system. What goes down must go up. Ask the PE on the job what he/she...

    Head Requirement Question

    I knew this is what you were thinking. Try this, it might help, it might not, but it's how I relate it. Think of a battery circuit: A one volt battery in parallel with another one volt battery will give you one volt. But the current (Amps) would double. A one volt battery in series with...

    Head Requirement Question

    yeah, I had a hard time reading this too. I'll just state the rules to support Bob and to see if I understand the question. Sounds like a parallel system, right? So: 1. The flow divides in a manner that the head loss in each branch is the same. 2. The head loss between the two headers is...

    Graphics Issue

    We have had to change the font to get decent JPGs. But, I tell you, It's a real hit and miss to get things you like. We usually import an image to another publishing package and add text there.

    Feeding parts to machine by tubing???

    1)You probably CAN change the drop if you break it in two. One part of the drop is steep, while the second part of the drop is more gradual. 2) A vibratory feed mechanism can load the parts at any speed. Change the design to incorporate a small vibrating ramp. 3) Put some holes in the tube...

    Pro/Mechanica and WinXP?

    To point out the obvious, When you got a new puter, did you get a new license pack?

    Pro/E 2001 crashes when using MODIFY command

    Yeah, Every now and again my system will crash like that. When I do a modify, I can not dynamically spin or zoom the part around without risking a "Poof". Some things ya gotta learn to work around, you might be stuck redefining instead of modifing.

    Press fit of a bearing

    So I assume the bearing is falling out. A proper press fit is going to hold the outer case, and it is not going to fall out unless there is too much thrust load.... or there is thermal expansion of the bore. Press fits for soft material is not the same as for hard material, obviously because...

    Press fit of a bearing

    Locktite is used for a "Push" fit, and not a "press" fit. Specifically it is referred to as "bearing retainer." You should use it when frequent service is required and a heat source can be used to melt the "glue."
