China's first aircraft carrier spotted at sea

China's first aircraft carrier spotted at sea - CBS News
 
well if they take over america, they better step up there game for chinease food, this shit sucks in the US
 
Nice, only about a half century behind the rest of the world. Them Chinks are really impressive.
 
maybe i'm arrogant and raymondcist, but i envision the chinese military to be like most of their products, shitty and weak
 
I am sure the Chinese sucks down there, it's good here in NY and Cali too.
 
They are posturing like the Soviets did and they will bankrupt themselves the way the Soviets did. There are still two Chinas and the poor are dismally poor and uneducated.
 
You want the native .PRT modeled in ProE wildfire 4, or shall I export to a STEP or X_T?

I'd prefer it as a parametric model in SolidWorks part/assembly format with complete preservation of design intent.

ProE is soooo 2008.
 
Lol. Im still running SW 2009.

If I remember that version correctly, that's the one that can go nuts (and crash) on you if you over-use the measurement function on a model. I'm not sure why, but 10-15 point-to-point measurements in a row will crash it.

But my only real beef with either of those programs (both Pro/E and SW) are their sweeps that involve helical guide curves -- particularly when the helix is on a slight taper. Lots of orthopedic devices rely on geometries like that, including really elaborate entry/exit features. The cross-sectional sketch will wind-back on itself and all hell breaks loose. But at least for me, it's vastly easier to debug a SW model than it is a Pro/E one. You can only hit <suppress>-<suppress>-<suppress> so many times in Pro/E before you just want to throw-in the towel.

knot sure of wut you speak, butt that caught my eye

Thread run-out is a huge issue in orthopedic implants. Otherwise you get stuff breaking-off inside bones.

Think of it like when Mr. Long John gets a vibrator lost up in your pooper. It's bad news, isn't it?

this software you speak of is measuring sumthing point to point and trying to make the best fit for geometrical changes?


why doesn't it sweep the entire object in a point cloud dense enough to measure it as if you were measuring the physical object itself :confused:

It's a package for specifying and rendering fully-parametric three-dimensional models.

No one does blueprints anymore. We all do them as parametric solids that can be assembled, organized into machines, break-tested, etc. etc. It's incredible what can be done all inside a computer now. And when you're done, it goes straight to my five-axis thingy and we cut one right out of the material of your choice!

You can instead send it to a 3D printer, but those parts aren't nearly as strong -- unless you've got one of those sexy titanium printers. That's next on my Christmas list.

I got's me a few of them EOS p730 thingy's, butt's I can't run ti just yet.

want to know wut I'd like to model?

I had an Object Alaris 30 in my basement for about a year, but I took it into work because the engineers wanted to use it so much.
 
Oh brother... We're still finding junk off the west coast from Japan in WWII, and occasionally an unexploded German torpedo around the Atlantic. Now we have to worry about the Chinese sending a fleet of recycled Buicks and 1950s Zenith TV sets over here in the form of a war ship? Jee-whiz.... Probably we shouldn't worry about any Chinese carriers... The sheet metal will corrode and disintegrate faster than the ship can make it over here.

Want to know which tip im placing the star on top of this year?

My star ornament is only about 4" in diameter. Plunkey's plunk would never fit inside it when it's angry.

And no pick3, you can't have pics.
