AutoCAD Inventor :: 2D Equation Curve For A Parabolic Spiral

Jun 22, 2013

what the 2D or 3D equation curve for a parabolic spiral, otherwise known as a Fermat's spiral would be? I have found this info but do not know how to apply it:

Fermat equation

Therefore in terms of the affine plane its equation is
The Fermat curve is non-singular and has genus

I have also found this: $r^{2}=a^{2} heta $ 

Please see image attached.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Super Ellipse Equation Curve

Dec 11, 2012

I'm trying to use the equation curve to draw a super ellipse.The formula I'm trying to translate for inventor is the following.I'm guessing this should be possible using the abs() for the first section and an IF() statement for the second. The problem is Iäm not even getting the abs() to work at all. How to translate this formula?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Why Does Equation Curve Function Not Work

May 10, 2012

Trying to do something as simple as y=x^3 (Explicit Mode). Set xmin = 10, xmax = 20 then tried y(x) = :

1in *(x^3) -- no good
(x^3)/1 in -- no good
(x/1 in)^3 -- no good

Error is that "Equation y(x) contains errors. Expected units are length".

The point here is: Why should typing in such a simple equation as y=x^3 be so difficult??? Can't even do (x*x*x)/1 in & make it work.

AutoCAD Inventor :: 3D Sketch Equation Curve - Creating Coil?

Jul 26, 2013

I am trying to create a coil which from above, retains equal and thus parallel pitches whilst at the same time adheres to a semi-circular form in the cross section. You can see from the images attached that the first two revolutions are larger than the semi-circle outline.
 
These are the values I have used:
 
Cylindrical

r (t):     134.56924424045517662353735770102mm * t * 0.5
q(t):     1 deg * 360 ul * 3.0 ul * t
z(t):      10 mm * 6 ul * 0.5 ul *  t  * (1.5 * t) * t

tmin: 0 ul
tmax: 0.916 ul

AutoCAD Inventor :: Variable Pitch Helix By Equation Curve

Jun 20, 2012

You can create a variable pitch helix by using the Equation Curve feature introduced in Inventor 2013.

Create a new 3D Sketch. Start the Equation Curve command.

Here are equations that I use to create helical curves. Many other variations exist.

Cartesian coordinates:

x(t) = radius * sin(360 * num_turns * t) 
y(t) = radius * cos(360 * num_turns * t)
z(t) = height * t

[Code]....

When you sweep a profile along a helical path, use the plane normal sweep (instead of perpendicular sweep) to orient profiles suitable for coil or spring.  In the example below, the sweep path is a constant radius, variable pitch helix.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Equation Driven Curve - Unit Error

Nov 27, 2013

I would like to create an equation driven curve with inventor. I have no problems plotting the function in a plotter, however, inventor won't accept my equation. It gives me the error message, saying: "The equation contains unit errors". I'm using the explicit equations.That's the bare equation:

"y=sqr(2)*16.5/2/sqr(pi)*sqr(arccos(1-2*x/50)-(sin(2*arccos(1-2*x/50))/2))"

I modified it, inserting variables which I defined also in inventor, leading to this:

"sqrt(2)*height/2/sqrt(PI)*sqrt(acos(1-2*t/length)-sin(2*acos(1-2*t/length))/2))"

But both equations are not accepted by inventor due to unit errors. In this design, I'm using the metric system, millimeters, so I don't understand why and how I have to redefine this for the equation in order to get it working.

AutoCad :: Aligning Parabolic Curve Tangent To Two Points

Apr 2, 2013

I have come up with a parabolic curve from a 'Sag Chart' program for calculating wire sag between Utility Poles. I now need to place this curve into my Profile that has the poles laid out in it. I need to make the curve Tangent at each attachment point between two poles. The best I can do as of now is eyeball it in there which will get me the sag distance pretty closly but as any Autocad user knows if it isnt exactly aligned it will drive you nuts. I made a rough sketch of what im trying to do.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profile Parabolic Vertical Curve Not Appearing Smooth

Aug 19, 2013

I'm creating finished roadway profiles by setting the PVIs then going back and inserting vertical curves (Free Vertical Parabola, PVI Based).  When I insert the vertical curve, it displays as 1-5 tangents depending on length (not a smooth parabola). I've changed the curve tessellation distance under the Edit Profile Style - Design tab, but it doesn't smooth it out.  What am I missing here.  I don't have this problem in other drawings and I'm using the same template/drawing settings.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Make Surface From Equation

Nov 26, 2013

I need to make a model of saddle surface. The surface is given by equation z = y^2 - x^2, and I must have some thickness - It will be printed on 3D printer.

I have Inventor 2014 and I dont see possibility of making the surface directly in Inventor. Is there any trick for that?

I'm afraid I cannot use solution as stated here Equation-driven surface , because saddle surface looks like this hyperbolic paraboloid .

I tried this solution: I made 3D surface in Matlab, exported it in .stl and opened in Inventor - but this only makes the surface with no thickness. Functions extrude, loft require 2D sketch.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Equation For Rectangular Pattern

Feb 22, 2012

Can an equation be used to calculate equal distances when using the rectangular pattern.Regarding the attached .ipt file i would like to place 25 holes in the X direction with equal gap size between each hole.Also how to calculate the number of holes in the Y direction again with equal distance between each hole.I have not done this before with equations but was thinking that i would need to use the Length x Width in the equation.Do i need to add figures into the Parameters box also?

The attached file with the Hole feature the sketch is not constrained for the purpose of using an equation so i know how far from the start of the part to get equal distances between each hole to the end of the part .

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Show Equation Instead Of Value?

Jan 16, 2012

We have some equations in our templates which i have modified with iLogic. Once the rule is run it only shows the value and not the equation. ie i want it to show Thickness*2 instead of just '12'. The ilogic will say something like InnerRad = Thickness * 2 Is there a way to make it show the equation rather than the value? While i know whats going and can see the driven link in the parameters the planned change to 2012 could take some getting used to for users.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Converting Equation To Numeric?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Using Drawing Dimensions To Drive Equation?

Nov 2, 2011

I have an asssembly stack and I have a known bending moment at a given place (ie the datum). I want then to create a drawing of this stack up and show the bending moments at known locations beside the relative dimension.

Now I can do this manually no problem...but I would like this drawing to update automatically. ie the stack up height(s) change and i want the bending moment figure to update accordingly.l

Is there a way to do this with drawing dimensions? ie dimensions created in drawing mode?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Linking (equation) Part To Its Own Assembly

Oct 14, 2011

I have a small assembly with the parts. I'm doing an array (pattern) of one of the parts and I tried to do two things without success:

1. Tried to link one of the parts to the assembly itself with the equation tool ,but the software doesn't let me do it and says "...was rejected since it causes a cyclic dependency" - so what?:-) I know and need to do it!

2. After rejected the first choice, I tried to "project geometry" some stuff of the pattern I created in order to try and and make my connection in this way, but then I got a similar rejection: : problem encountered when doing cross part projection"...probably it's because it's from a pattern I'm creating from the part I'm doing this sketch inside?

What Can I do in order to bypass these remarks and make it somehow? Most important, Why can't one "tie" something from a part to its own assembly in which it's located???

AutoCAD Inventor :: Text Parameter - Equation / Nominal Value

Is there any way in which the text of a text parameter, which is in the equation column, can be replicated into the nominal value column in the parameters table? I want to reference the value of the parameter in Custom iProperties but it always comes up as blank because it has no value.

I need it to update automatically, e.g not entering the value manually.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Possible To Assign Value Of Parameter As A Result Of Non Linear Equation

Jan 24, 2012

I am almost sure this is not possible in AI but I will ask it anyway:

is it possible to assign value of parameter as a result of non linear equation?

for example I would need parameter x to meet the equation

cos^2x+Ax+C=0

where A and C can be other fixed parameters.
