Thanks for the comments guys, Typically others in my office bring tape, caliper/ micrometer, magnetic level, camera of course (gotta love cell phones with built in cameras/ flash light apps). The radius gauge is a great suggestion, I know it would be used frequently.

Hello folks, In a few day's I will be heading into the field to get measurements for a custom fabricated cold form long-span roof joist (fabricated sometime in the 1950's). The shapes of the top and bottom cord are a bit odd. In keeping with the nomenclature of the current ANSI Cold-Formed...

Kevin, http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=332373 I think I understand what you are describing. To be honest, I don't think you are fully understanding what I am trying to model. No fault of yours of course, I probably am not doing a great job at describing it. I appreciate the help...

Kevin, Thanks for the response! I understand the idea that your path defines how the vehicle tracks. I also know to check if the output is indeed feasible using AASHTO's minimum radii for the outside wheel (as well as some other vehicle characteristics). There is still one thing that puzzles...

I agree with IRstuff. The axle is not aligned with the path unless your going straight. Instead "the line between back and front wheel always tangent to the inner circle being made by the back wheel" The procedure I've been using is to create the front left wheel path (my outside wheel)...

Read your reply right after I posted the above CarlB. Okay that changes things, could prove that my analysis is not accurate after all.

Thanks for the reply IRstuff. I might have worded the question poorly. I am more interested in the relative orientation of the initial wheel path to the vehicle block @ the start of my analysis. The program directions state to have the block tangent to the wheel path which to me indicates...

I hope you all don't mind a new thread, I know there might be a few others floating around but I had a quick question about the TURN.LSP application. I stumbled upon it the other day and first off, I would just like to say what a great piece of free software. My company doesn't have any turn...

Hey all, I was looking at Table 8-4 Coefficients C for Eccentrically Loaded Weld Groups for use in designing a stiffened seat connection that is a bit larger than usual. Followed the whole eccentric load @ 0.8W (width of seat plate) found a C-value plugged it in... pretty typical I thought...
