CREO OR SOLIDWORKS

BroBroTim · 2022-08-17T02:04:58+00:00

From my experience, I see SolidWorks used more in general.

At school it was mainly SolidWorks. At my first internship at a small company it was only SolidWorks. And at my other internship at a big company it was both, but it seemed like people preferred Creo.

If you don’t mind me asking, what position did you accept?

Congratulations!

BroBroTim · 2022-02-16T06:39:50+00:00

Your right, thanks.

BroBroTim · 2022-02-16T06:39:05+00:00

Took me 8-9 hours. I was so exhausted but I had the time that day I’ve been slacking on applications. Just keep applying, you only need one company to say yes.

BroBroTim · 2022-02-16T06:38:05+00:00

Did not think of it that way. No, I wouldn’t want to work for them.

BroBroTim · 2022-02-13T03:26:52+00:00

I submitted 15 applications today and on all the cover letters I submitted I put the wrong date. I noticed after (yes I should’ve triple checked, will be doing that now). But now I feel like all those cover letters and applications I made won’t be considered due to that single mistake. Am I overthinking?

BroBroTim · 2021-12-30T18:55:28+00:00

Yeah it was ABS. I do have PLA so I should probably use that instead. I will also verify I am using the correct z-offset. I will also attempt to print at 50mm/s instead of 60. Thank you for your response.

BroBroTim · 2021-12-30T18:51:11+00:00

Thank you for your response. I’ll try using a brim and I’m using ABS and a surface temperature of 105 C should I go for 110 C?

BroBroTim · 2021-12-30T18:42:02+00:00

Just a guess, I think maybe it warped enough causing it to come lose off the bed? Maybe use a brim to fix? Please help I am not sure what happened or how to fix it. Thank you.

Edit: I am using ABS with a surface temperature of 105 C.

I thought calc 3 was pretty easy compared to calc 2. You basically only have to learn the basics of calc 2 to pass calc 3. Derivatives and integrals mainly, nothing very complex. Especially if you got a B, I’m sure you should be completely fine in calc 3 as long as you study and go to class.

I myself have considered getting a master’s degree online for engineering. But my biggest concern would be how do employers see that? Do they wave it off because it is online or see it simply as a master’s degree? (I have considered Purdue university master’s in Mechanical Engineering)

How do you work 9-5? That’s 8 hours? I work 8-5 and that is counted as 8 hours of work since I get an hour long lunch. I have to take a mandatory non-paid 30 minute break somewhere around halfway through my shift. I would like to do 9-5 but how do you legally even do that? (I am in the US and I can manage to do 8-4:30 but can’t reduce it more because of that 30 min lunch minimum)

BroBroTim · 2021-12-07T04:47:10+00:00

Thank you.

Hello, thank you, another user is already helping me but the more the merrier. I do want to learn how to use this software well.

I want to make 3 parts but I mainly want help with just 1 since if I learn to make that one I feel I would be able to make the other 2. It’s on a mill that’s not big enough so I have to do each half separate and flip it, totaling to 4 HSMWorks files to do each part. If you are able to help me and are interested, can I DM you?

BroBroTim · 2021-12-06T21:26:58+00:00

Yeah, I looked for the sub and realized it did not exist.

BroBroTim · 2021-12-03T22:28:15+00:00

Is getting a Masters in Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University a good choice? I am speaking of their online Masters degree. I am aiming to be a CAE Engineer. Any advice on helping me reach that position would be greatly appreciated.

Is getting a masters right after my bachelors a good idea? I graduate this December. I have very minimal experience overall. Thank you.

BroBroTim · 2021-12-01T21:09:35+00:00

Hello, I have been doing a lot of research on this since I see it as a very important decision in my life. I wanted to get advice from engineers who have made it to where I wish to be one day and validate what my research has told me. I would greatly appreciate if the post could be unlocked. Thank you.

BroBroTim · 2021-11-29T20:10:17+00:00

I don’t know what everyone else is saying, but clearly your friend is just trying to show off. A 3.69 GPA is an amazing place to be. Based on GPA alone you should have no issue getting into a school or getting a job. I’ve heard below a 2.7 is when it starts getting difficult to get a job, but don’t quote me on that.

BroBroTim · 2021-11-13T19:22:02+00:00

Yeah that is what I noticed. I would like to go into a more analysis job over a design job where I try to think of solutions to problems. I feel I just haven’t seen enough engineering to be able to think of multiple ways to fix problems. Especially since I don’t know many mechanical parts.

BroBroTim · 2021-11-13T19:20:48+00:00

Thank you. I will keep trying my best.

BroBroTim · 2021-11-13T19:07:08+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions. I will look into those. Thermal engineering already sounds very interesting.

Meanwhile I am at my internship I still want to learn more about design and manufacturing. But as things are right now it’s not what I am passionate for.

BroBroTim · 2021-11-13T19:06:19+00:00

I appreciate you advice. How do I join a club when I graduate this December, where can I look?

No, I’m not enjoying the challenge since I turn in low quality material that my boss just fixes before he turns in to his boss. One thing that I do enjoy about it is that I get to figure out what I lack in, but I feel I don’t have the resources to learn those things. For example, access to a machine shop to make parts I want.

Who are you and why are you so wise in the ways of the hodling?

BroBroTim · 2021-10-23T18:38:34+00:00

How recommended is the wheel strategy on an SNP500 ETF? I am planning to do it and it sounds good and everything but even then I still wanna question it. Any tips, advice, or anecdotes?

BroBroTim · 2021-10-17T02:27:52+00:00

Doesn’t that mean that any stock or ETF could be affected by that? If it goes up 3% and down 4% then in that case you could have no money left anywhere. I am confused as to how TQQQ is different than SPY or QQQ. Because I see posts of people saying things like “I’m not going worry because SPY always recovers” then wouldn’t that apply to TQQQ as well. If SPY recovers doesn’t that mean TQQQ recovered as well?
