I’m looking for a company can do Revit Family creation work, preferably located in Southern California. If you have experience of outsourcing and are pleased with the service, would you mind recommending a company?

I agree with Jeff. The file format SAT (extension) works best to tranfer 3D geometry from SolidWorks to Revit. Watch out for file size which is critical factor to Revit users. Good luck!~~

If I combine all of the above answers: SolidWorks can be installed and run on servers, correct? Depending on network/server setup, the performance varies. If the data read/write during FEA number crunching occurs on the server (not your local hard disk) configured with high-speed RAID 5 hard...

Running it locally is currently what we do. But, it basically takes over the workstation and can't contiune normal engineering work. If it takes longer than 2-3 hours per cycle, then, what would you do? Alphad

Is it possible to setup an engineering server on network and run SolidWorks(with FEA)? We have engineers in several locations and wish to setup a powerful server to share. My VAR is telling me that SolidWorks is not supporting server architecture at all. If so, how do you deal with it? In your...

Actually the correct code is FOR /F %i IN (list.txt) DO ScriptTemplate.bat %i Also I notice that the script file created by this method is including hidden characters which I remove using text editor. I'm using PSPad. It works great by the way. And thanks again for teaching me that method...

Merry Christmas jfmonod, The date you posted this, I downloaded a 30-day evaluation copy of Revit MEP 2009. It is just coindenice, but, it put smile on my face. Yes, it is Christmas morning, and before I go to church I’m writing this … I’m at home. My 2nd workstation at work is running. The...

Great !! I love DOS. Thanks for telling me exactly what to do, Todd. I'm good at DOS as a typical engineer, but, not at this level, wow!!!. Thanks again.

Thanks trainguy. I checked it(multi-batch) out. Well, well… it does not have the function (ACIS/SAT importing) I need. It deals with only DXF and DWG. Thanks CarlB. Yes, I can follow your logic and it does make sense. I have done some batch converting before, but, it is awhile back and based on...

Yes. Your help is greatly appreciated. Attached find a sample file (50KB). So far, the largest file size is 120MB.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=bb1e5f5a-e493-4b8b-892b-146606b2d84d&file=sample_bolt.sat

Thanks Exxit. Yes, I've been using ACISIN command, and it works great, but, that's not what I'm looking for. Apparently I did not communicate properly in my ordinal posting. Let me try again. I have many *.SAT files. The number is over 5,000 now and growing. Up to recently, I converted a few...

Thanks for the suggestion, but, I already did search AutoDesk.com/forums/. I did not spend several hours on it, but, did read thru anything contains keyword "ACIS". I found nothing really useful. I was hoping to hear from someone already done this many times. I guess I'll call VAR.

I'm looking for a tool that enables me to quickly and easily convert ACIS (*.SAT) files ( 1000+) to AutoCAD drawings. Files with sat extension are originated from SolidWorks 2007. I'm also using AutoCAD 2009. Any suggestions?

Well... now I have a problem. I have an assy model not that big in SW standard, but, save as *.SAT won't work due to the file size. At least that's what I think. Since the assy has (3) main sub-assys, I tried one by one. First two small(?) assys took about 5 minutes each and generated 20mb each...

Thanks David8252. Your recommendation is working fine so far. Now I remember this method too... getting old.

I have a customer working with an architectural firm requiring AutoCAD 3D models for each product to be installed. The firm is making 3D layout for the specific portion of the building. The products we offer are designed in SolidWorks. The deliverables must be in AutoCAD DWG file format. I have...

Thanks NickE. I was looking for a general answer, and you provided me with that. Yes, the material of HR and CR,is commeral grade low carbon steel "sheet", 10GA -12GA range. The dynamic load is seismic. The structure is a simple two post rack, welded formed sheets together. Mechanical...

I'm wondering about the structural performance. If you build a welded structure out of the same gauge Hot-rolled steel and obtained a certain performance level and then, replace the same structure with cold-rolled, commercial grade, same gauge material, then, it would perform better or worse...
