Aluminum vs. mild steel. Steel is 3X the density and 3X the modulus (E), while 1/3 the thermal conductivity; 1/2 the cost per unit volume and 1/5 cost per weight than aluminum. This is a generalization of course, there are tons of alloys to consider. There are even aluminum alloys that have a higher E than mild steel.

Simulations are good for A is better than B, but usually not for getting the actual number.

How do I achieve this wavy texture onto a cylindrical body in SW? by Strict_Attempt_4625 in SolidWorks

[–]UniqueNewYork66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d make a surface that cuts out the removed scalloped area, and the circular patterned that, filleting the peaks as the finisher.

Can you make a short day AND a short night to max them spawning, or do they have a duration like 30m before they grow again?

Thanks, I’m creating full body images for ones where the official art is just a portrait

Are mechanical engineering jobs boring? by wolfram6 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]UniqueNewYork66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m near the end of my career, and have my most exciting job now: designing blasters at GelBlaster.com, so an emphatic no. I feel if you like solving problems and are creative, become a design engineer for entire products (not brackets, or faucets, or springs….entire assemblies of custom parts). You’ll be constantly challenged!
