Comment on What is the mechanical engineering industry standard for auto-cad software? by smart guy

I am a mechanical engineer, and I work in product development.

There are many many many programs that can be used. I look at them as 2 main kinds.

There are the drafting or design programs. AutoCAD is one of these. They let you draw objects, in 2D or 3D. They are very useful for layouts – electrical, plant layouts, buildings, etc… They tend to be cheaper than the other kind.

Then there are the solid modeling programs. Examples include AutoDesk Inventor, Solid Works, ProEngineer, CATIA, UG, NV4, etc… They model solid objects. Some people are going to argue that AutoCAD can do this. Not really – AutoCAD simulates this by being 3D. But deep inside, the math models are different. But whatever.

Mechancial engineers that model parts or components tend to use Solid Modeling programs. Mechanical engineers that work on plant layouts, large buildings, and large scale things tend to use drafting programs. It all has to do with the way the calculations and properties are assigned.

Now for the good news. If you learn how to design, the tool doesn’t matter too much. If you learn to use a hammer to put a nail into wood, it doesn’t matter if you use a claw hammer or a ballpene hammer. They are different hammers, and they have different uses, but they work about the same.

So, anything you learn will be useful to you. But you may want to think if you want to eventually work on large spaces or parts. smart guy

Dear juan They will send you a bill anyway and turn you name in the the Driver's license bureau, and there will be a flag on your license, so when you change over go to the Drivers license bureau with proof of your insurance before they flag it the insurance companies do this to get even with you for changing agencies.

Comment on How can I get discounts on auto insurance? by Ross

With all due respect, this gets asked many times every day and there’s no answer to it… also..insurance companies can base your rate on your credit history!! Like, someone with bad credit just has to be a bad driver!

Just get on that phone and try out a few insurers. Ross

AutoCAD is still used in Mechanical Engineering, but more and more companies are moving to solid modeling programs like Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks and Pro Engineer (not necessarily in order of popularity). Many jobs are currenlty requiring experience with one or two of these , which are the big 3 in CAD at the moment. That said, AutoCAD is not a bad place to start, especially if you have a capable teacher. Ron E

Comment on What is the difference between High and Auto setting on a crockpot? by Diane B.

Diane B. — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 09:05:45 +0000

Some slow cookers have an Auto setting, some don’t.
It means that the slow cooker will start itself out on High, then after an hour or two it will (automatically) turn its setting down to Low.

The High setting heats all the ingredients up thoroughly, but the Low setting is what makes the meat tender.

I’m maybe concerned that you haven’t seen boiling yet though. Generally slow cookers crank the heat above 212 F on HIgh (and regretably, even on the Low setting for slow cookers made these days). You do want to make sure that your foods don’t stay in the “danger” zone of 40 – 140 F for longer than 4 hrs, and that includes the parts in the very center of the pieces of food.

You may also want to read some of the things I’ve written about cooking in slow cookers in this previous question:
That answer also includes a way to test the temp of your particular slow cooker.

HTH,

Comment on How do you become an auto mechanic? by Chris the 4th

Trade school, community collage, or Just try to get in a shop that is willing to train you. Show them that you are a dedicated car guy that wants to learn. If you find a sympathetic car guy that runs the Business he will most likely hire you. Chris the 4th
