Engineering Representation of a threaded section

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around whether a cross-section drawing is sufficient for representing a metal body or if additional views, such as a top view, are necessary. It is suggested that a single view can be adequate if the diameter symbols are correctly used and a note about a lateral hole is included. Participants emphasize the importance of including all necessary dimensions for construction clarity. The need for additional views depends on the complexity of the design and the clarity of the existing drawing. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure that all dimensions required for fabrication are clearly communicated.

Greetings!
I´m trying to solve the following exercice

I have done the following drawing for the cross section

and I want to know if I need to add a top view or any other additional view? (is the cross section enough)

thank you!

Just imagine that you have to build that body from a chunk of metal.
What dimensions would you need?
Is any of the dimensions shown in the isometric drawing not needed to be included in your side or elevation view?

I believe that I could do it using that single view, as long as the symbol for diameter is properly used where needed, and a note specifying one single lateral hole is added.

Thread 'Have I solved this structural engineering equation correctly?'
Hi all, I have a structural engineering book from 1979. I am trying to follow it as best as I can. I have come to a formula that calculates the rotations in radians at the rigid joint that requires an iterative procedure. This equation comes in the form of: $$ x_i = \frac {Q_ih_i + Q_{i+1}h_{i+1}}{4K} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i-1} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i+1} $$ Where: ## Q ## is the horizontal storey shear ## h ## is the storey height ## K = (6G_i + C_i + C_{i+1}) ## ## G = \frac {I_g}{h} ## ## C...
