    Intralink and Wildfire

    prohow, If you're asking me, I am a pro/admin on top of my regular job. What makes this particularly difficult is the individuals who received the most training and were involved in the initial installation (Ilink 2.0, Pro/E 2000i) are no longer here. Since I'm the only one who has taken the...

    Intralink and Wildfire

    We're about to install Intralink 3.3 and I'm having problems finding out how Wildfire and Intralink are integrated. I thought I had read somewhere that Ilink could be accessed through Wildfire and therefore didn't need the application manager and seperate workspace windows (like Intralink 2.0...

    Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer

    Forgive my ignorance. 1. Can CFRP's be injection molded? If so are there any special considerations for the process or can an injection molding machine capable of fiber reinforced plastics (such as ABS) do the job? 2. A few months back I read an article on the web discussing the use of...

    Wildfire -- Any Major Issues?

    Having moved directly from 2000i to Wildfire, I find it a vast improvement. We don't have Ilink 3.3 installed yet (that one will be a major upgrade). Overall I like the software. A minor complaint I have: to cancel out of a feature takes several more mouse clicks than before. Although this...

    Small Turbojet Engines (Discussion)

    Pratt & Whitney Canada PW600F Turbofan: 1000 - 3000 lbs. thrust. Eclipse aviation advertises the Eclipse 500 will operate with a PW610F medium bypass turbofan with a 900 lbs. thrust developed from the 600 family. PWC doesn't show any info on their website (not much on the PW600 family really)...

    Emirates vs. Qatari Airlines

    I just wanted to chime in that Airbus may be making the serious mistake. Several airline industry studies show that larger aircraft may not be the route of the future (granted, many of these studies may be Boeing PR). Additionally, how efficient has Airbus been as an aircraft development...

    mil std's

    in recent years the mil spec i find are all prefaced with a notice of discontinuance and the appropriate organization equivalent (sae, nas, etc.) that's all well and good for the military, but i have to pay for the industry standard. mil-hdbk-5 is an awesome piece of literature. i keep it...

    Free Piston Compressor for Turbofan? ("pulse turbine")

    I don't understand how a piston compressor can be more effecient than an axial compressor. A piston has to change directions twice to complete a cycle, having to work against inertia. An axial compressor doesn't have this issue. Is the efficiency of compressing the fluid in a closed...

    Anodize Specification

    I have a Dassault Aviation general specification that references BF4/BF5 anodizing treatment. I've never heard of this. Its not mentioned in MIL-A-8625 and web searches are not giving me any information. Has anyone encountered this? Does this have a MIL-A-8625 equivalent?

    Proper way to detail an ellipse

    the only way that i know an elipse can be can is with a cnc or an nc with some pretty advanced controls. in either case, center point and diameters/radii would suffice.

    faster PC -> to work with SolidWorks ???

    if cost is an issue, forget about rdram and scsi. from my research, the most important feature is the video card. i high end video card specifically for cad can cost as much as a new computer. rdram does not offer substantial performance increase for the price difference between it and ddr.

    hydraulic drivetrain

    the system i'm talking about is losely based on current automotive hybrids. a high rpm internal combustion engine powers a hydraulic pump. the pump pushes fluid to the wheels for forward motion. at the same time, hydraulic accumulators store energy from braking, much like the electrical...

    hydraulic drivetrain

    i recently read in design news about ford and the epa working together on a hybrid hydraulic drivetrain for automobiles. through web research, to purge my ignorance on the subject, i discovered several industrial uses as well as the epa's patent. this system has me very intriqued. why hasn't...

    Part numbers vs. Drawing numbers

    jstanczyk, not fully understanding your system, i would pose this to you. if you rev the part, would you have to rev the drawing number and the part number creating more documentation? in our system we have an assembly number, an outline drawing (basic overview of the part) and a assembly...

    High temperature corrosion resistant metals.

    Hastelloy C An International Nickel co. alloy having a nominal composition of nickel (Ni) 59%; iron (Fe) 5%; molybdenum (Mo) 16%; tungsten (W) 4%; chromium (Cr) 16%. honestly, doing a web search yields very few hits for hatelloy and i'm beginning to wonder if "hatelloy" is a common...

    Venturi Vaccum Pump

    larryc, Without calculations and not knowing enough right now to make any calculations, my theory is to add more fuel to the mixing chamber (a term i have learned from my motive nozzle research, in this particular application it would simply be the venturi entrance) and achieve auto-ignition as...
