Need Help!- Gear functin in Ver 22

The older versions were limited by the programming they had and this had to be changed. It has been difficult for many who made the switch. I created my own post for V22 and got what I needed out of it. I think that many things work correct now and there is still room for improvement. Bobcad is continuously adding and changing features and this makes it difficult for them not to have an error. I do testing for a grinding company and this is the norm. When adding features it will many times conflict with existing operations and must be fixed. It is not possible to test every feature of a program in all the combinations that it is capable of before release. If it is then it is too simple for production anyhow. It also isn't always possible for a one time error to be found in millions of programming lines. Since I have done this type of testing for years I can be very forgiving to a company like Bobcad when they have a new release. Especially when they are adding the many new features as Bobcad is.

Very well said Tjones. These additions have improved the software but due to the Add-Ons it is difficult to pin point errors. BCC is trying to improve the functionality, and bugs are to be expected.

My only problem is when under the gun to produce these bugs pop up and create frustration. Employers that do not know what we go through do not understand, but they want to see results in a timely manor. Uggg!!!!

I gets very frustrating with this New Version and sometimes even I lose patients.

Tjones,

I used Mecanic for about 15 years to program an Agie wire. Boy do I miss that gear function as well.

Many a time we (or I) needed a special gear and there was never any problems generating accurate geometry.

I recall the package cost over $20k back around 1988. After I left the company, they THREW IT OUT, software license and all.

It's too bad you couldn't get the license transfered to you. Why is it we find out after the fact??? Once a company I worked for tossed 3 Dell Precision Workstations that were only 2 years old. Man I wish that was known before the waste management service showed. Isn't it Illegal to toss PC's in the trash anyway??

Nothing that big. These are for Unlimited Allstars (Kart engines). Billit raised port heads for the Briggs 305 and tecumshe star. My client ownes the world speed record for Karts,(140 + mph) I hope we try to set a new record soon. I have built three 4 valve heads for the Briggs Animal engine, but they still have a few bugs to work out. Mainly the test engines keep exploding under them.
Thanks again
Matt

Have you checked the Compression Ratio? Maybe your creating too much. What formulas are you using to calculate Intake/Exaust, Maximum CFM, and Compression??? Tecumshe's and Briggs are better than those Handa junkers. Are you modifying the Pistons, Connecting Rods, and Wrist Pins at all??

The block is about all that is stock, although they get modified. I increase the stroke, the bore, use a weisco drag piston, the rod is from ARC, ceramic rod bearings roller bearings on the crank and cam shaft. The cam is a COMP cam along with the springs and keepers. Stainless BIG valves and roller rockers.The side cover is billit too.
I think it figures out to about 9.75:1. The animals come from Briggs rated at 6.5HP @3500 rpm's. You have to turn them about 8500 and make 28-30 hp to keep up. Not to bad for an engine that dosent have an oil pump.

I know there is a way to design and build the ports that considers flow coefficients and total CFM, but I'm not to that point yet.

NICE!!!!!!!! Port the intake to match the runners on the heads, then put a slight helical cut in the base of the Carb spacer. This will decrease turbulence and increase CFM through out the induction system. I did this to my truck along with adding a little extra to what the stock Throttle Body spacer had. Major improvements across the torque table at lower rpms.

What is the crank in those nodular or forged?? What ever it might be look into TiN coatings fo rthe Crank, Cylinder Walls, Pistons and Rings. NICE!!!!!

I used to be a MotorHead but it got too expensive and received too much attention from Johnny Law. So programming CNC's at feed rates of 350IPM at 8,000 rpm will have to do for now.

Betta becareful Toolbit Toby knows where the red button is and he is not afraid to use it. I heard he used it so much in another they thru him out.

If this was true or any of your business why are you still here Trolling for trouble????

FYI: I left Sorin's Forum for my own reasons and none other than that. It would be best if you mind your own business Mike M..

Any farther posts off the thread topic will be deleted, you have been warned.

tobyaxis,

I've been a member here for 4 years and have only posted less than 20 times. My posts were only trying to help when I could. You were going off the deep end. Everyone knows when any new program, I.E. version 22 and vista, there will be bugs that have to be addressed. I was only trying to get you to step back and count to 10. But you elected to attack a fellow member and click your nice little red button. Falsely accussing me of being a troll. The way you crawfish blaming me for your ranting maybe you could be a troll in sheep's clothing. I'm sorry for not being very tactful but then neither were you.
