Yeap, we need to free all the money behind bar in the bank.
And give me all the guns and ammo behind bar in the gun shop.

All tools used by untrained person are not useful. The more powerful the tool is, greater the damage. FEA use a mesh to estimate the geometry. Bigger mesh, less accurate. Small mesh, more accurate. Mesh also means no smooth surface. Unless the surface is flat. FEA work perfect on a square. Not as mu...

I've had casting drawings with datum inside and outside the part.
And of course non of the datum are on flat surface.

Frederick_Law

Problem is, the CAD model is perfect.
It won't move in CAD model as long as clamp and support line up perfectly.

To try:
Support use frictionless contact.
Clamp apply force with direction.

Also try Dynamic sim.

JD might be able to help if you can find him. Don't see him much on SW forum.

How's your monitor connect to vides card now? Using one of the mini display port?

Frederick_Law

No problem.
HDMI out from laptop.
60" 4K and laptop 1080 screen.
Scaling on 60" and set as primary screen.
Keep everything SW on primary.

BTW Dell E7240 i7-4600U 16GB RAM Intel 4400 Graphic, SW2020.
Inventor works too.

BTW I needed to get security clearance twice to work on projects.
They didn't ask for drug test.

Or is something fundamentally flawed about how Solidworks PDM handles VPN traffic? SW cannot change network protocol. It's done by OS and hardware. In general most programs are not written for files on network. They all expect instant and 100% respond from hard drive. Same with OS, Windows. There a...

Frederick_Law

Thanks for that explanation Diaval. I still have the question about why on-premise user to PDM server is so much faster, or over VPN is so much slower. How much traffic inhouse switch/network is handling? How much does ISP/VPN handling? 2 lanes road with 30 cars. 6 lanes highway with 3000 cars. Max...

It was a glitch.
They haven't kicked me out yet.

Hmmm maybe if I paid for subscription they'll lock me out .....

One day, while a man was walking on the road, his foot hit something. He got curious and picked it up. While he was cleaning the lamp, an angry genie came out of the lamp and said to the man; "I'm very angry today and I'm only giving you one wish, wish what you want and let me go." I wish...

Frederick_Law

Just need some training and setup defaults which should be default when SW install.

Frederick_Law

SW can export DXF 1:1 all the time. Regardless what scale the view is.

On local, each computer got a 1Gb link to server. As long as switches are setup properly.
Off site, all cramp into one ~100MB internet with God know how many hops to the server.

Inventor too.
Try to click on a line or point on 4k.
They need to increase the "target" area.

Frederick_Law

Size is one thing, resolution is another. Is the 32" 4k? Most program will go crazy moving on different monitor with different scaling. You'll need to adjust to one monitor has bigger font then the other. Also color, brightness could be off. I was using miss match monitors for over 20 years. Wh...

It was 20C last week. Drop to 5C on the weekend.
I was outside re-lube calipers and swap winter rims.
I was frozen after 5pm.

So, let it snow, let it snow, let it snoooooooow.

Frederick_Law

Just saw your post in IV forum. "Liked" it.

Frederick_Law

IV can do multibody but part and assembly is easier.
You can put multiple frames in another assembly and get a correct BOM.

Frame Gen is based on Master Skeleton/Sketch which can be used to design the whole project.
One sketch connect and control the whole project.

Frederick_Law

Frame Gen in IV is parts and assembly. SW weldment is multibody part. Looks like the hole is cut as assembly feature hence you don't see mass different in part. You can open each frame part to see they don't have hole. Edit the frame part and cut hole there. It also depends if the hole is cut before...

"OCD an asset" in our job requirement.

Frederick_Law

Good luck. Solidworks can't keep track of them itself.

Frederick_Law

I've never done it this way, lots of hoops to jump through:

To "Group" part list need property to "Group".
So I add mass to get the "Group".

Also need to play with this:

I'm using 2023, that's why I recreated all the files.

Frederick_Law

SW doesn't setup registry after install. Don't ask why.
It'll setup on first start and you HAVE TO close it to write to registry.
So don't do anything on first start.
Let it load, shut it down.

You can try export setting on first start and see what you got.

Frederick_Law

I was looking for something for Planning, Task list.

We're at "print out spreadsheet and email and put on the desk" century.

Try to get a bit more advance.

Frederick_Law

Google could maintain offline Excel file. So you may not lose link to CAD.

MS Team can do that too.
Actually I like Excel in Team. Multiple users can edit the file at the same time.

Frederick_Law

the lack of customization in this program More like lack of training. Stop thinking in SW's way of doing thing. Part list is in Style. All customization can be set in Styles and template.

Can they get any longer title?

And the bike with permanent training wheels up front. Great idea.

Frederick_Law

Inventor user save another SW day

It looks like something went wrong on install.
Did you import old settings after install?

Frederick_Law

Can you see the toolbar?

Was it an Addin?
Mould?

Frederick_Law

nVidia Desktop Manager can remember all the programs opened and their location.
A few clicks in the morning and all the program popup where they supposed to.
Even if you moved/size them before.

If you were me would you trust them?

Well we saw how they "migrated" a forum to the platform.
How far can you throw air?

Frederick_Law

3D sketched weldment/frame and profile rotates with every change.
Great for art.
One coworker was swearing for weeks on that.

I always use 2D sketch on planes created from other 2D sketch.

Frederick_Law

maybe because they don't want to punch thru the otherside of the part or just they understand it better or for what they make the hole depth isn't critical :?: I see why they want it. Don't know how they'll control it. Whole shop need same drill () Or drawing specify drill used :roll: Operator will...

Show them how long it'll take to remodel a scan without Design X.

Pencil and paper are much cheaper then any CAD software.

Frederick_Law

Is it possible to make one with Jetson?
Use ML to help get a better scan and create 3D model instead of mesh.

Not compare part and drawing.

In it's early days, IV can't do what MDT can do. Took a while to get pass that.
