How to save your animations as GIFs in SolidWorks

32 3 Intermediate
Do you want to know how to make GIFs of your animations? Ever asked yourself how they did it? Here I'll show you how to make seamless GIFs from your animations using SolidWorks, as well as PhotoScape... I chose PhotoScape as it has decent results, doesn't cause any bumping & - most important - is for free. You can download the latest version from here: http://www.photoscape.org/ps/main/download.php

This is a short description of how involute profiles are used in splines like DIN 5480, DIN 5482, ISO 4256, and ANSI 92.1

Mechanics Basics Part 1

23 2 Beginner
This tutorial is a look at some of the basic terms and what they represent in a basic mechanics context. Most of the basic mechanics, the starting point for good mechanical design grew out of the work of Sir Isaac Newton. Newton’s work introduced the fundamental terms and principles of mechanical design by application of the physical laws of the universe. From regularly looking at some of the questions posted here on GrabCad, even taking into consideration that for many here, English is not their main language exactly what the person asking a particular question actually wants to know, is sometimes quite hard to deduce. Some things should be universal in most languages especially when working with the ISO standard S. I. Units. As tutorials of this sort benefit from having a downloadable pdf version accompanying this online version, on Grabcad, and as the concept of providing a downloadable pdf version has not entered into GrabCad's concept of a useful feature for tutorials, I will also provide a pdf version for those that may want one. My tutorial Gear Basics Part 1 was entirely in pdf format with just a link to where you could get it from. The Grabcad management were not happy with this so they removed it. If anyone wants the pdf version just mesage me through Grabcad mail, leaving an email address to sent it to.

Designing a Hirth Spline

24 8 Beginner
Solidworks + Excel instruction on how to design a Hirth Spline. Background on Hirth Splines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirth_joint The basic idea of a Hirth spline / Hirth Joint is that the whole geometry is defined from a combination of a single reference point and a grinding/cutting geometry. Two Hirth splines with the same basic tooth geometry will match to form a secure joint that can transfer torque and allows for accurate alignment of parts. Hirth splines and joints are often used in turbomachinery to accurately align various shaft parts and transfer torque.

Fundamentals of the theory of industrial dust protection with bag filters

24 0 Beginner
The oldest cleaning method for bag filters (still used in mobile filters these days) consists of motorised or manual jolting equipment. With automatic regeneration, a motor is started, either at certain intervals or when reaching a maximum filter resistance. This oscillates the filter element. During the resulting movement, the deposited dust cake detaches from the filter surface and drops down into a dust collector, which is usually cleaned via dust dischargers. Mechanical cleaning is performed after interruption of the filtration. The filter bags are stressed mechanically through shaking during the cleaning operation and therefore have relatively short service lives. The periodic reversal of the flow direction (backwashing filter) is a much gentler cleaning method. Here, the filter system features several separate chambers which are cleaned individually. A combination of both cleaning methods was also often realised. For the last decades, however, the jet pulse method has become the standard cleaning method. The filter media are regenerated through cyclic, intense blasts of compressed air. This briefly causes overpressure in the filter bag during cleaning. The filter bags are briefly inflated, the flow direction is reversed and the filter cake detached (fig. 1). A supporting cage gives the bag the required stability during the filtration phase. Among other things, the cleaning cycles depend on the filter load (volume flow per filter surface and unit of time), the gas density, the raw gas charge and the particle attributes. The regeneration can be controlled in time intervals or via defined differential filter pressures.

Creatividad en ingeniería - Parte 1

20 2 Expert
La creatividad es un concepto complejo, actualmente investigado con diferentes enfoques que iniciaron en la psicología y se extendieron a diversos campos. Este tutorial pretende mostrar algunos de sus mecanismos, con los cuales quizás muchos se sientan identificados, para mejorar nuestras prácticas de diseño. No se trata de incrementar esta capacidad (ojalá se pudiera) sino de conocer algo de ella para, al menos, no bloquearla u obstaculizarla sin darnos cuenta.

Creatividad en ingeniería - Parte 3

(Gracias GREG PIOL!) Una forma interesante de estudiar la creatividad es observar procesos creativos con los que uno esté familiarizado. La introspección es lo tenemos más a la mano y la observación de otras personas que hacen tareas similares (como nuestros colegas que diseñan y publican en GC) es ideal. Pero requiere la colaboración de esos actores porque no solo queremos ver sus obras finales, sino tratar de entender desde dónde y cómo llegaron a ellas... y esto no es fácil de lograr. De allí mi agradecimiento a nuestro colega Greg Piol (https://grabcad.com/greg--32) que tuvo la enorme gentileza de proveerme algo del material de partida para sus maravillosos diseños: sus bocetos!

How to make 3D posts of your models on Facebook

18 4 Beginner
Facebook has just updated their new feature that enables 3D viewing in posts... This feature has been around for some time, but the new update supports the industry-standard glTF 2.0 file format. This allows us to share 3D content on Facebook, whichever the designing software used was. Here I'll show you how to turn your 3D files into GLB, the only extension Facebook reads till now. By the way, GLB file format is a binary form of glTF that includes textures instead of referencing them as external images, so don't worry about the output's quality.
