... CAD use line graphics to display polygon edges. Also need high precision. Game don't show edges. Everything covered with texture. It was the reason Quadro was faster because hardware and BIOS was optimized to run line and edges. Again, don't see that problem now. ... What is (if there is such a...

Good questions Frederick. I understand my comments are no news to a SW/Simulation expert (which I am not). I just wanted to follow up what I started with confirmed solutions to my questions that were not specifically clarified unfortunately (by anyone else). BTW, I am a certified TIG/MIG welder and ...

Thanks Frederick , sorry for the delayed reply... I wanted to first wrap up my initial 'exposure' to linear(matrix) algebra, solid/continuum mechanics, and FEA basics* as well as Simulation so I could contribute some useful information. * Thanks to U.of Alberta Prof. Clayton Pettit's online lecture...

Apparently, SW Simulation categorizes solid models based on 3 main meshing options*; *Listed from the most simple to most complex - hence quickest to slowest to process Mesh Types Based on Geometric Features 1. Beam Mesh 2. Shell Mesh 3. Solid Mesh * source Dassault Systems' Solidworks Help on "...

Perhaps a summarized single question might invite someone to take a bite at this... What's the difference between a Weldments - Structural Member feature generated joint and a Weldments - Weld Bead feature generated joint once the model is opened within Simulation's analysis environment? (i.e. How a...

I've been modeling a recumbent bicycle frame based on a sketched centerline wire frame and using the Weldments - Structural Member feature with custom round tube profile sketches for modeling(extruding) 3D tubes along the centerline wire frame. Currently the model is a single SW part (not an assembl...

Thanks for the pointer TTevolve. Indeed in hindsight using Guide Curves in combination with the Shell feature would be a better method giving me more direct control of the curves, and certainty of equal thickness throughout (currently I think the areas where there are complex "S" shaped cu...

Yes, I was trying to show in the 2nd screenshot that I'd input a different value 0.3 instead of 0.7 for a different vertex set but the result(after processing) would show all vertices the same value and length (0.7), as opposed to the 1st screenshot in which the different values set were processed w...

Below are screen shots of the Lofted Cut feature's 'Normal' operating condition, and the so called 'Brain Fart Condition'. Lofted Cut Normal Condition.jpg The circle has 8 segments which are set as 'Start Constraints'. The pair of 'Start Constraints' at the top(11/1 o'clock) and bottom(7/5 o'clock) ...

What da...?! It just now processed the 'Start Constraint' as I'd set individually! Hmmm... The only difference I noticed was that my computer wasn't full blasting its fan suggesting that previously when the processing was executed with the fan at full blast, the system might have been under heavy lo...

I had no initial problem using the Lofted Cut feature's 'Start Constraint' > 'Normal To Profile' with 'Apply to all' unchecked so I could set constraints from an 8 segmented circle to an 8 segmented rectangle. But when I tried the same process on a 2nd identical object (in a different location) the ...
