Hi there!!!

If ANYONE could help me with my problem, i'd TRULY appreciate it!!

I'm currently busy doing my final year in Mechanical & materials-engineering at Northwest University, Potchefstroom Campus, South Africa. For my project i have to look at the possibilities of ceramic feedscrews in the industry. I was advised to conduct a finite element analysis on a feedsrew drawn in cad/solidworks concerning the forces working in on the screw....The problem is that i'm having a helluva time to draw a feedscrew on any cad/solidworks software!!!

If ANYONE is willing to give tips concerning this and maybe even send a preview of a feedscrew in cad/solidworks-format it would TRULY and GREATLY be appreciated. Keeping in mind that i'm still studying, any other general information would also be welcomed.

Thanks again for a great website

Desperate student

Try the web site Alpha Marathon Technologies. Go back and do a search for them on this web-site, and you can find the exact website to download some software. I was posted about 2 or 3 weeks ago.
