Designing a Hirth Spline

Tjerk de Graaff
in Theory
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.

Axle Load in a Railway.

Carlos Soler
in Theory
3 5 Beginner
General considerations about axle load in a railway and its importance in the design. Axle load is the weight on the two wheels joined by an axle. (static vertical load per axle); It is, basically, the total weight bearing on the track. If you have two wheels attached to an axle, with an AXLE LOAD P =225 kN, you have a load in each wheel of Q = P/2

Creatividad en ingeniería - Parte 2

Marcelo Valderrey

Otra arista compleja y polémica de la creatividad es su evaluación. Existen muchas propuestas plasmadas en test que intentan medir la creatividad, pero muchos expertos afirman que será difícil tener un acuerdo sobre la medición de un concepto que aún no está bien definido. De todas formas, y hasta que ese momento llegue, implementamos en el aula de una asignatura de ingeniería mecánica un test sencillo que trata de rescatar el espíritu del mejor método actual de evaluación creativa "la Técnica de Evaluación Consensuada (propuesta por Teresa de Amabile en 1982)" y adaptarlo para su uso regular en la enseñanza del diseño mecánico.

Getting your Solidworks drawing lasercut ready

Rik van den Reijen
in NC Machining
12 5 Beginner
Hello everyone, In this tutorial, I will explain and give tips for converting your Solidworks drawing to a vector file that CNC machines can read. I will be focusing on a laser cutter in this tutorial. I will be using Solidworks and Adobe Illustrator in this tutorial. This is paid software if you want to use free software I recommend using Fusion 360 for 3D modeling and Inkscape for vector image editing. If you have any questions or are missing information in this tutorial please leave a comment below so I can update the tutorial.

CATIA V5 - Section Analysis setup and features

3D Comparison
in Dimensioning / Tolerancing
0 4 Beginner
Section Analysis in CATIA V5 is a tool that allows you to create section views of 3D models. This can be useful for visualizing the internal structure of a model, or for checking for interferences between parts.

Conceptual Design of Dovetail Joint

Marcelo Valderrey
in Theory
8 4 Beginner
Some solutions to the challenge posed by https://grabcad.com/steen.winther are presented: impossible dovetail joint? Each one starts their attempt from a particular situation, which can lead them to first find a solution (such as the rectilinear one) and later others (such as the circular ones). What this tutorial intends is to show the style of conceptual thinking that allows "discovering the rules behind particular cases" to conclude that all possible solutions actually derive from "the same idea". Note: this type of challenge is useful for those who do not know the solution or other similar cases. The idea is to force the process of generating and evaluating ideas. Once you know the case, the opportunity to discover solutions is lost!

Mechanics Basics Part 2

lawrie
in Theory
8 3 Beginner
In this tutorial we will look at the concept of STRESS in an engineering concept. Stress is the mechanics relationship that defines the load we place on a part, and the ability of the material it is made from, to resist this load that has been applied to it. The actual strength of a material is a physical property of the material and as the mechanical parts that we design come in all shapes and sizes, we require value, that relates our load back to the physical properties of the material we want to make our part from As usual, due to the format of the GrabCad tutorial module the pdf version of this tutorial can't be easily attached to this tutorial. The pdf version can be downloaded from this token model I have placed on GrabCad, Mechanics Basics Part 2.pdf can be downloaded here : https://grabcad.com/library/basic-mechanics-tutorial-holding-model-1 Follow this link to download pdf versions of basic mechanics tutorials
