Setting up SolidWorks models so that the BOM will always match the model!
Weldments are a very useful way to simplify and speed up SolidWorks Modelling.
One of several methods to make meshable solid models of branch connections.
Another way of making gapless nozzles with repads.
Nozzles with repads on compound curved surfaces are the most complex to model. Here is a straightforward method.
A visual primer on ASME VIII-1 joint efficiency. Shows RT-1, RT-2, RT-3 and two options of RT-4.
Requirements for inspection openings are based on UG-46 with some additional code passages, code cases, interpretations and a brief PTB-4 mention - all in one place.
While it is difficult to calculate ultimate pressure drops in CFD, relative pressure drops between two related designs can be calculated leading to useful design insights allowing the best design to be chosen.
SolidWorks Flow Simulation results are compared with theory, with emphasis on the required computer resources.
