AI Thread Summary
Recommended resources for Solidworks 2011 training include built-in tutorials, which can be completed in a day or two. Users are seeking video, book, or course options specifically for experienced drafters in the mid-Atlantic region, with a budget of a few hundred dollars. There is potential for group training if more funds can be allocated. Recommendations for effective training materials or experiences with existing resources are encouraged. Solidworks offers a variety of learning tools that can help bridge the gap for those transitioning from PRO/E.

Anyone have any recommendations for video, book, or course (midatlantic region) to learn SW 2011? My company uses PRO/E almost exclusively, but we have a new customer who uses SW. I have approval to get training. Budget for training is a few hundred, and if its a course, I can probably find some other interested people from our design pool and could probably get more funds allocated.

It would need to be geared towards experienced drafters. I have about 5 years of PRO/E, and I'm one of the novices here.

Anyone have any experience with any of the books or videos out there?

Thanks,

Solidworks has some really good built-in tutorials, and you should be able to get through them all in a day or two.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
