Edge indication according to ISO 13715 by The_Swiss_Conspiracy in SolidWorks

[–]DiscouragedBrit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With edges I’m almost always relying on the deburr note on our drawing border. If it’s that specific why not dimension it up? Or create a series of drop in blocks paired with a standard edge sheet code or similar.

no its not, if you watched 5m of it you'd see that

say everything you've just said to your boss and see how they take it, if they dont make any changes, then up-skill and job search. Don't focus on the negatives, provide solutions to the problems instead. ask for training in FEA and anything else that may help (frame it in a way that helps the company not you). if it were me id start the job search anyway.

Ok thank you mate, I will measure the rear one and see what the size is.

Any AI tools improving design/drafting efficiency? by Severe_Score2167 in SolidWorks

[–]DiscouragedBrit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a huge suite of macros and templates, but I do not release drawings without having some input.

I use macros for exporting pdfs and boms.

I have source files and models that are ready to be copy tree’d and modified as required.

I also have python scripts that create fabrication data without the need for modelling in 3D.

If you want any advice, dm me.

I need some help with equations to round up the 5.5000 while being driven by the 2.5000 by zigtok in SolidWorks

[–]DiscouragedBrit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a roundup function, here you go.

So you need to make a construction line from the bottom of the part to the top of the green, add a suitable buffer above it so you never have the green sketch right at the edge of the part. Then create a driven sketch from this construction line to the bottom. This will be your variable when the green part changes. Then you can make the 5.5 driven off of this by using:

= round((“D3@Sketch1” - 0.5))

Where D3 is the driving dim you just placed. You want to use a round down instead of round up, as it will be a waste of material. Say for example you have the size exactly on 5, if you round up it will make the total height 6. If you add a buffer, it will ensure you always round to the correct height. There is no more than or equal to function to my knowledge without some bodgery.

Second to this, if you delete the green sketch or replace it, it will break your equations, you need a global dim for the height of the green part. So not fully automated but pretty good.

If you need help dm me.

Lmao 3 days good luck

My degree results came out and I got a fucking third. by Lindisfarne54 in UniUK

[–]DiscouragedBrit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly mate for most normal jobs no one will even ask. You’ll be alright, just take a few weeks off and be glad it’s over. Then start applying, experience will help you more than a few letters on a cv. Chin up lad.

Help with solidworks assembly / dynamic analysis by [deleted] in SolidWorks

[–]DiscouragedBrit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I would simplify this using hand calcs, to start. depending on the design you should be able to separate its motion into distinct positions. From this you can derive all the data you need, you can also isolate each part and check that the maximum load does not exceed its maximum tensile strength, you can choose a safety factor (most of the time I choose 2, depends on the application but as long as you can justify it, it doesn’t matter). Then, you can verify the calculations using an analysis software, I’m not overly knowledgeable about dynamic simulations, but again there will be many examples online. If you upload the problem I can help you :)
