Perforated sheets |
|
|
I don't know much about SW, but is it possible to make a model of a
1500x1000 mm perforated steel sheet with 100.000 holes with 3mm diameter?
I wonder if a ordinary home PC can handle this ordinary object?

Goto http://www.engtran.com/SWBM001.html and download and run Patbench.
Run 8,10 & 12 iterations. That should answer your question. |

No, you don't want to do that. I set up a 317 x 317 pattern (100489) of
3 mm round holes on a 1500 x 1000 mm part, and it's been cranking on it
for over an hour. My machine is a little better than a an ordinary home
PC (AMD FX57, 3 Gb RAM, 10000 rpm drive, nVidia 3450).
You're better off doing what Spork says.
If you're trying to do some sort of analysis and think you really need
the geometry, you will probably want to solve it some other way.

Use a patterned texture to emulate the perforations and define the holes
by a note instead of dimensions.

Textures are not represented in drawings, only renderings. It would be nice
if one could apply a hatch pattern to a face or a portion of that face which
would show up in both ortho and iso views.

It should not be too bad. The perforated tubing parts I've drawn have
~10k holes and solve in about 20 seconds. Use 2005, as 2006s performance in
this area is woefully degraded (in some instances it can take 100x longer to
solve). Also ensure that you check "geometry pattern" during the pattern
creation.

ACK, yer correct. Forgot that "little" fact. Yes, I suppose a hatch
pattern for the plan view should work, but an iso view is a sticky
wicket.
