By GSC SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation offers some great tools for analyzing rotating region problems. There are a lot of capabilities within the tool but, often times, there isn’t a lot of information about these capabilities. This article is meant to be a comprehensive guide to everything related to rotating region problems within SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation. This will include explaining the different types of rotating region problems as well as the best practices associated with each one of them. There are two main types of rotating regions in Flow Simulation; global and local rotating regions. Both of these types are available for all fluid types; Newtonian and Non-Newtonians fluids. Global Rotating Region The global rotating region assumes you have a model that is completely symmetric about the rotating axis and all the components within the computational domain are rotating at the speed of the rotating reference frame. Due to the fact this type...
"Hello there, I have been going through some of the 2010 CSWA certification sample questions and have made videos that shows simple-steps to solving them. So if you are thinking of getting a CSWA certificate, follow up on this tread. Let's get it on!" 2010 CSWA Practice Question 8: Assembly Modeling Model the assembly shown in the figures provided. Use the following information. The assembly is a scissors lift containing seven components : Lower Base, Upper Base, Link, Pivot, Short Pin, Long Pin, and Shaft. There are two short pins, two long pins, two pivots , and eight links in the assembly. Unit system: IPS (inch, pound, second) Assembly origin: As shown Decimal places: 2 A = 20.50 B = 6.50 C = 36° Material: AISI 1020 for all components. Each base has .025″ internal radii. The shaft is centered in the assembly horizontally (from left to right) and vertically (between the lower base and upper base). The shaft fits in the holes in the pivot (no ...
