I'm new to 3ds max, and I was wondering if there was a way to do a spill simulation without a plugin. I've figured out how to do a fluid simulation , tutorial [URL].........
But how do I get the water to stick to the ground. I can't seem to use RealFlow becuase I am on inventor 2013 and that plugin doesn't work for the newer model.
I wonder if there is any plugin/software that makes it possible to do some CFD simulation on my 3dsmax object?
I consider it as an additional part of my current object I'm designing, but I'm no engineer and I've got no possibility to use a real wind tunnel.
IV 2011.
I have an assembly with a FEA simulation result. I can run a report and get the reaction forces and moments at each constraint. I would like to run a new simulation with different constraints and use the reaction results from the first simulation as loads in the second one.
Currently I do this by running a report on the 1st simulation to get a table of the reaction results. I then manually add those forces to the 2nd simulation. This takes time to type and the forces must be edited each time I re-run the 1st simulation.
Is there a way to use parameters to automate this?
What is a good 3rd party application that can produce good fountain simulations? There are a variety of conditions, not just the kind that shoot straight up, but that flow in sheets and synchronize etc.
I have the need for right away and little time to deal with much of a learning curve. I've looked at Real Flow but too expensive, with a complex price scale.
No matter what settings I use MassFX seems to explode all of my pieces/particles as if they are under extreme tension just prior to running the simulation.
I have a facade of a bulding broken up into about 1000 pieces. It's real scale and 135' tall. All I want is for the pieces to just fall to the ground. But, no matter what I do at about frame 3 the whole thing just explodes. I've tweaked so many settings that I'm completely lost and can't seem to solve the problem. The default settings are the worst. I've set the 'Damping/Linear' up higher and increased the 'Collision Overlap' but still can't seem to figure what controls this tension or pressure that it appears is in the parts before the simulation starts.
I've created a successful FEA simulation in Inventor 2014 and obtained results. But I want to see the highest stress in a defined area that is smaller than the entire part (I have some stress concentrations that are throwing off my 'max'). Is there a way to probe an area instead of just a point? I'm tired of creating a dozen probes to find the 'local max'.

View 9 Replies View Relatedi have some problems combining multiple meshes in one rigid body simulation. What i want to achieve is a button containing a metalplate, a plastic body and a needle 200x multiplied and each of them should be treated as a single massfx object. This bunch should simply fall on a plane ending with accurate, physically correkt positions. My way was using all parts with a physical mesh constrained (RB constraint) to each other part as childs. This works well with one whole button, but copying shows some strange beahviour of the constraints - and doing 200 pieces manually is not the way i want ;-)

The real time simulation are really excellent and I have already tired it for one week. I found that I can't use Revit without Fuzor haha. If you want to know more detail, check the website URL..... It may have more detail and I heard this software “Fuzor” will publish in AU.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm developing a program which runs several simulations and obtains the results automatically.
I'm using the dynamic simulation API created in Inventor 2013. For that I use the GetResultValues(ByRef values() as Double) method of the class DSResult.
I used the method inside the VBA of inventor and worked well. But when I wrote the program in Visual Basic Express 2010, the method doesn't return anything.
I share an excerpt of the
Dim odoc As AssemblyDocument
odoc=invApp.Documents.Open(testPath, True)
Dim dsman As Inventor.SimulationManager = odoc.ComponentDefinition.SimulationManager
Dim dssim As Inventor.DynamicSimulation = dsman.DynamicSimulations.Item(1)
Dim oJoints As Inventor.DSJoints = dssim.DSJoints
oJoint = oJoints.Item(1)
[code]....
The method GetResultValues(values) should modify 'values' to a time,value vector.
It works well inside Inventor, but doesn't in the program in VB, although it runs the simulations and does everything else right.

View 1 Replies View Relatedwhen in simulation, if you suppress a feature is it totally taken out of the simulations workings?
I.e. if I was working on a project like some weighing scales and I had a load of objects on the scales and I then suppressed some of the objects, will the scales rise up a little to counteract the reduced weight?
Is this type of gravity experiment possible with dynamic simulation?

I'm designing multiple elements for a vehicle. I need to evaluate multiple dynamic results of multiple possible designs. All the design is parametric so it modifies quickly but I can't find a way to run the dynamic simulation multiple times automatically and get the results from the output grapher for each simulation.
I am trying to do it via API but can't find the class of the dynamic simulation environment in the Object Model Chart to program it via .NET.
I have installed inventor 2011 on my laptop, but the dynamic simulation menu does not appear even though I 've been many times to install it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a very simple part I am trying to check using FEA; however when I get into the Simulation environment and click 'New Simulation' from Ribbon nothing happens.
The part in question is just a simple cylinder (I'm verifying what would be the best meshing spec to use in a larger assembly).
I am playing with traces in dynamic simulation and in the output grapher i get values for position like:
P
P(x)
P(y)
P(z)
and in the graph i get some values of the position but i am unsure on where the datum is at this point. I would of thought that the datum would be where the trace is attached? Where the datum is based and is it possible to set a relative datum to when the trace is set?
I'm running several dynamic simulations via the API. Then I am getting the results to write in a text file. I want to know the force in a joint so I get the vector of values via
Dim oResults As DSResults
Dim oResult As DSResult
Dim value() as Double
Call oResult.GetResultValues(value())
this vector is a time, force vector but when I verify mi data against the Output Graphe all the decimal points from the force information are gone.
Example:
In Output Grapher
Time (s)Force(N)
0.0118955.66
0.0219500.88
In the vector from API
0.01
1895566
0.02
1950088
is there a way to correct this? I'm getting many force and movement info, so I don't know which ones are reliable.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a question regarding simulations in Autodesk Inventor.
For example I have such part:
It is a plug made out of brass. I want to test if it will be able to withstand specified pressure. So I set up where is it constrained - on thread.
And set up pressure from inside on the cap to be 16 bar (1,6 MPa). And also assign materials. And there goes simulation . Everything seems alright. I want to run little bit different analysis. When pressure would be variable.
For example I will have pressure going from 12 bar to 16 bar, and such simulation will be running for quiet long time (as an example pressure will be 12 then raises to 16 then goes to 12 again and then raises to 16 again). I want to know after what time will this plug fail and will be destroyed? I mean i want to know when METAL will get tired and will be destroyed? I was just wondering if such a simulation is possible to be made in Autodesk Inventor?
If you can imagine a cylinder sliding on curve joint. Let’s say the curve is in the XY plane. In the output grapher it is possible to display the force as the cylinder slides around the curve. However if I understand it correctly the magnitude of the force will be in the direction perpendicular to the point of contact between the cylinder and the curve? In which case is it possible to actually find out the individual X and Y components of the force? That is to say the magnitude of the force in the X or Y plane of the curve?

Is it possible to simulate the stresses in a piece of glass in a simple beam scenario in Inventor (1/2" x 48" x 130" Tempered Glass)? I have a client that wants me to design a conference room table for him but I am highly uneducated about glass.
Is it possible to simulate? If not, is it possible to "fake" it and get semi-reliable results? We're at the conceptual stage here and we're curious which of our designs have a greater possibility of surviving the design validation process (which will include a glass expert at some point).
I have 3ds Max 2012 and I am trying to do a simulation with mass fx. I am trying to do a simulation where a minecraft character (dynamic object) is walking and then gets hit with a small box (kinematic object) causing him to blow backward into his seperate pieces. My problem i encounter during this is I cant run the simulation unless the parts of the Character are a dynamic body but when i bake the dynamic body it just erases all the keyframes i already had on the minecraft character.

I have a pretty simple assembly with just 2 parts in it. One of these parts is built as a multibody part. It can be that the blue screens started to occur after I made a multibody design, however I am not sure about that. I downloaded and installed Inventor R13.
is their a possibility to applay stress like dynamic i have a shaft that has a pully on it , its conectet on an old way
not with a tight fit so it shrinks on it but it works wit a small cut in the shaft where its bolted with just a tiny metal plate.
at this place will be a stress concentration and i wanne see how the noth effect is when their is a dynamic load on it cause if i put a static load on it i know the shaft can handel it but i real life it has broken couple of times so this is what i want to investigate.
