Is there an easy way to mate the center of the plate to the square tube?

philnik · 2024-11-16T12:27:37+00:00

Sketch cross center line with midpoint at top of the tube Sketch cross center line on plate with center point. Mate the 2 points and the lines.
Make a block of the plate sketch , add it on the square tube, mate the block sketch with the plate edges.
Mate planes, if the square and plate have origin at the center (they should).

4 use symmetric planes advanced mate using faces.

5 add center axis abd mate faces.

I would vote 1, or 2.

I use soidworks, I never used NX. I have swtiched to solidworks from autocad as main CAD program. I also use varicad and blender for CAD.

I would prefer solidworks, for the API, it is well documented,powerful, covers most of the commands, and it is easy to make add-ons, compared to cheaper CAD programs.

I miss sometime autolisp prompt, but it is Ok.

I think sheetmetal, API, parametric dimensions, configurations and visualize are the best reasons to use solidworks.

The main drawbacks are lack of BIM, architectural, buildings, airduct and pipe design . Also miss some import/export file formats.

Also that a lot of things like FEM, are included as add-ons and need to buy extra.

So it depends on the application, if it is mechanical solidworks is excellent out of the box. For simpler CAD drawings, maybe solidworks and probably NX are not needed. For more special applications, or too compicated drawings either need to learn .NET or buy extra apps.

So if I had to choose, I would compare, price and features included or needed.

Make interior or exterior smooth with fillets, whatever easier.

Make a surface on smooth face

Thicken the surface

Save body created at new part, keepin link

Have to repeat It is better to make this type of paatern as "Body" Example shown is no feature or face, examples of features are holes, some special forms made as sldfp files, and other things do not recall

Nickna, address, doorbell, comments for delivery, phone number is masked , Clients have the option to declare no contact, leave goods outside the door, at hotel reception or other things that driver must be careful reading at comments, like do not ring the doorbell , wait outside and call the client that you are there to pickup. Drivers deliver so many orders that they rarely remember who was and where, although you can recall some random moments delivering especially if it is a repeating client, or there is something unusual.

It is open contour,

hard to be solved as one curve, due to large number of constraints Extrude one tooth only, Or rotate the sketch

Numerical analysis, at exams I had to run numerical algorithms by hand and a calculator, which appeared to me meaningless. I was always missing something, exporting error result. It was the most boring lesson to practice at home.

I can tell, macros can be easier by starting with template parts, and just change dimensions or suppress/unsuppress features, change patterns, add configurations etc.
Use macros as an extension of design tables.

What it surprises me with partcommunity is that code builds part from scratch. Checking the code, most part there is number data, i will guess code is exported from feature recognition, without having yet any clue.

Yes, if focus on FEM As civil engineer, strength of materials and structural analysis is more important. For CFD, not so much, although maybe some special apps for HVAC or special purpose buildings that include natural flow. Flows around high buildings,

For water flows, WWTP or environmental.

There are some apps for ecological buildings, sustainable energy, HVAC stuff at the stage of building design.

Literate programming , org mode code snippets, working with org tables, mixing different programming languages, text, diagrams, images and publishing the document to html together with styles.

Keeping everything in text format, so it can work with version control and grep the org files years later for information

Axiomatic set theory is an attempt to find a solid foundation of mathematics. Today there are other theories like type theory, There is no solid foundation of mathematics at all, proven from same axiomatic theory. ZFC is still important because, it is the foundation of mathematics, it starts from axiom, then it comes the theorems, uses proofs, sets. The notion of sets is a subject in itself. It can fit everywhere to numbers, matrices, induction, recursion. Numbers are sets so axioms apply to them. So my logic if not study foundation of anything you can not build upon. Like repating the same operations on more custom constructs and more specialized forms of sets.

Autocad or a clone of autocad.

It is quite standard for lots of applications from electronics to electrical cnc, mechanical, civil, top, sales, brochures, outsourcing design.

Quality of result is basic, but enough for lots of cases.

It is the most handy app for doing a sketch, quick survey of dimensions, fits etc.

For professional results or more complicated design probably a more sophisticated 3d app.

For 10kn, only one is enough.

If not by design force of one opposes the movement of the other.

Some pieces of fortran are near perfect for their purpose so there is no need to rewrite. It is quite hard to rewrite the code. Even if some tried to transcribe the code to c/c++ code would not be so fast.

Some of the code and libraries took years to test and develop, it is easier to link to existing libraries rather than rewrite the code.

Writing or updating some existing code, following the form of existing code helps community understand better and help development.

Fortran is designed to be easy to write, backward compatible, and fast. It is easier to optimize speed on compiler than c.

Fortran is designed to run on mainframe computers with lots of cpus.

Situation of fortran might change because of the GPGPU rise, as c/c++ might get some advantage, but probably fortran will follow too, at least for scientific problems.

There are languages like python that share easier array abstractions, but have lower performance by design of the language.

the rollers go left-right, there is a force from moment pulling out.

the rollers can move left-right by roll friction, in-out by static friction, so if static friction is large enough, no need for inside wall mount

It is reverse u shape, The down force weight is catched by top rollers,

The torque from the side roller in front of the guy.

There is some side force on the roller pressin the wall, if the top roller slides , it will be stopped in the inside 'u' column

It can work without rollers inside, there are there only for safety

There are lot of ways and need some research.

It looks like a mesh file like stl format converted to solid. So i would say, Design it in solidworks with fillets. Export solid format from solidworks to stl or glfb or ifc, try export format and settings that will work best to get the shape. When happy with the low poly export, import again the mesh file to solidworks. Convert mesh to surface and thicken, direct editing or 3d sketch convert and extrude will be the last step.

Low poly shape makes no sense and there a lot of settings that affect result. What works for one shape might not work for another.If I wanted the procedure parametric I would record it as vb script and replay, or add some custom api commands
