    Mathcad Reference Sheet and API Problems

    OK i have done a bit more digging on this. The problem seems to be coming from some "READFILE" commands I have at the start of the master sheet. These read the source data from an excel worksheet, which is then filtered as mentioned before. It is the "READFILE" function that does not seem to be...

    Mathcad Reference Sheet and API Problems

    Hi I have a mathcad sheet that will read a large block of data from an excel file, then filter based or 2 or 3 search terms. The filtered data is then used in the calculations. The search terms, and all other variables will be entered via the API from a web interface. The programming loops...

I have no problem simulating the actuators and the dynamic trailing edge section, but as soon as i add two leading edge plates i run into meshing issues. No failed mesh warnings are given, but a warning...

    Applying force on center line of curved face?

    Cheers for your response cbrn! in the end i figured out how to split the surface by projecting a line across it. I take onboard what you are saying about the loading condition not being truely realisable in the real world though. A cicular split would not be the best for me as the actuator is...

    Applying force on center line of curved face?

    Hi I am fairly new to the solidworks family so pleases excuse my lack of knowledge! I am trying to model a THUNDER piezoelectric actuator in cosmos. basically it is a curved plate produced by laminating 3 layers of different materials. I understand that cosmos cant do piezoelectric modelling...
