    Thickness is not defined in one or more shell

    Hi, I am working on static analysis of a solid body. I have defined the material etc. But there is one warning sign due to which the simulation is not done. The warning sign is "Thickness is not defined for one or more shells". I checked my FeatureManager tree but there is no shell feature...

    pattern in a wavy line.

    Hi, I want to create pattern of some "circular section" in a spline(wavy). I can do linear pattern or circular pattern but I can not pattern my feature on some wavy line(spline). Is there any way to do it. I have uploaded a picture of the part that I am trying to create model. I appreciate...

    2 parts, Subtract 1 part from another part

    I can import it now. Now the question is how to mate them properly. I do not see any "mate" options. Thanks,

    2 parts, Subtract 1 part from another part

    I do not have access to youtube site from the office network. Is there any text reference or other sites where I can look this thing in details? Please let me know. Thanks,

    2 parts, Subtract 1 part from another part

    But how do I combine? I open part 2 first and then import part 1 as IGES file. But then I can not do anything. I would appreciate if you could explain how to import part 1 in part 2. Thanks a lot.

    2 parts, Subtract 1 part from another part

    Hi, I have 2 parts. I want to subtract one part from another part. Basically I want to remove part 1's material from part 2 because in the assembly part1 will be inside part 2. Part 1 solid is very complicated and I do not want to go through the same features in the part 2 solid. I just want to...

    sheet metal closed corner

    Yes, I have seen that option. Here I can only extend one face. I can close corner by butt,overlap or underlap joint. But instead of extending, I want to rotate that face and match with the other flange which is located at 90 degree angle. I do not understand why they do not have the option for...

    sheet metal closed corner

    I have a rectangular sheet metal part. I have done edge flange on four sides. Each flange is separate from another. How can I join the corner side of 2 nearby flanges? Any help will be highly apppreciated. Thanks,

    clearance

    It will be used as a hand pump. So we can neglect the temperature effect of the plastic. The material of construction is PVC. Is there any reference on the clearance? Thanks,

    clearance

    Hi, I have to design a plastic reciprocating pump. Cylinder size is 3.126+/- 0.001. I will have to decide the piston size. I have already designed the O rings from the standard guides. I am not able to find any reference on piston cylinder clearance. Any help will be highly appreciated. I saw...

    sheet metal closed corner

    Dustin, Thank you for this information. I am new in solidworks and don't know what I could do and what I could not. I am learing it piece by piece. Thank all of you for your help.

    sheet metal closed corner

    Jeff, I am just practicing different sheet metal features in a single part. I always try to dimension all the parts. But this case is different. Here my intention is to close that corner( no gap at all). I want a nice smooth join between two edge flanges. May be there is another way to...

    sheet metal closed corner

    Thank you Jeff. I increased the bend radius and it's working fine. Though I am not sure why people use this "closed corner". I still see a small gap exits between two flange-edges. How about the corner edge? The corner looks very bad when I use overlap or underlap feature. I am attaching the...

    sheet metal closed corner

    Here is the file. I am trying to close the corner between two edge flanges. May be I am not doing it right way. I would appreciate if you check it. Thanks, Solid34works.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=85cf597f-c76e-421c-ba93-705ce064dcf9&file=07-17-08.SLDPRT

    sheet metal closed corner

    Hi, I am trying to use "closed corner" between two edge flange. Every time it says "one of the face is corrupt". I angled the flanges but it still doesn't work. I tried to edit the flange sketchs so that faces going further away( but bottom edge touches) and still I am having the same problem...

    Changing alignment of views in solidworks drawings

    Handleman, I was trying your tips. When I hold down ctrl, I can drop the view anywhere on the sheet. But later it aligns with other views. Is there anyway I can fix it in the place where I put it? I was using "Aligned section view" and it places the view either in horizontal position or...
