AutoCAD Inventor :: 3D Models Of Roller Chain Sprockets?
Jan 15, 2013Any good place to get 3d models of roller chain sprockets? I've been looking for a while now but i can't find anything that provides the variety or accuracy i need.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create A Roller Chain
Apr 30, 2012I am trying to create a roller chain as part of a cad drawing of a bicyle.
I created a link of the chain (pic attached) and I am following this video to repeat it as a rectangular pattern : [URL]....
However the links are not following the path they're supposed to - I can't attach that file right now.
Anything that I should do different from the video? I have been using inventor for a little while but I've never used the adaptive stetches or the functions thing ot a rectangular pattern that is not in the shape of a rectangle.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Roller Chain Generator Without A Closed Loop?
Dec 20, 2013I'm designing a lift truck with a "chain over" lift - the lift cylinder has a sprocket mounted on the end of the rod, and the chain is grounded on one side. The other end of the chain is mounted to a lifting carriage so that as the cylinder extends and pushes the sprocket up, the chain rolls over it and the carriage moves up (at twice the speed of the cylinder). This is nothing new - it's pretty much how every single fork truck in the world operates.
My question is this: can I use the roller chain generator to model this chain, or should I model the links and array them along a path? My thinking is that if I can use the chain generator, I should be able to animate the chain using Dynamic Simulation. But the chain generator seems to require a minimum of 2 sprockets in order to work - there's no way that I can see to have a "non-looped" chain or any way to just ground the end of the chain.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Attach Sliding Object To Roller Chain
Feb 11, 2013I've got a chain that runs between two sprockets. In between the sprockets is a slider that needs to be attached to the chain so that the rolling of the chain moves the slider back and forth.Right now the chain just runs straight through the slider, it isn't connected at all. I can't find any way to tell Inventor that this slider is connected to the chain.

Oct 6, 2011We are looking for a workflow example of developing casting models into machining models.
Typically our castings are made from different materials (Fig-1) and then machining (Fig-2) are created from these castings.
Is creating the casting as an iPart (with different materials) and then deriving the machining from the casting the proper method?
Doing it this way seems to force us into making a machining for each casting material instead of just one machining that is an iPart. How should this be set-up for BOM purposes and for use with Vault (Base Version)?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Making Roller Follow A Curved Path
Aug 30, 2011I am trying to assemble a roller to follow the path as shown in the attached file. I am able to make it follow one path, i.e. around the bend, but then how do I make it continue along the straight section and not continue around the circular path?
I eventually intend to use the dynamic simulator tool to animate my full model. Is there a way to use the connection parameters in this environment to enable the roller to follow the correct path.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Healing Chain Centerline That Has Broken / 2012
Nov 1, 2011how to heal a chained centreline between a row of hole features?
Here is my current work practice...
I have a panel with a row of hole features, they are not an array as the pitch between holes typically varies.
I create a chain of centres along the row.
I copy the panel and drawing to make a similar part but I remove one of the holes from the middle of the row.
Now the chain centreline is broken, obviously missing a feature and I cannot find a way to heal the centreline unless I delete and recreate it.
There is also the switcharound too where I add a hole within the row.I typically have to do this for nearly 60 similar panels.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Frame Generator For Chain Link Fence
Apr 24, 2012Has used the frame generator to model the posts and horizontal pipes that would go into a chain link fence?
We have generated several fence models as simple part files. They work in that they get the basic idea across and they're fairly quick to create. But I started thinking about a more detailed model and I wondered if it would be an appropriate use of the frame generator.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Move Part Along Curve With Chain Drive In Assembly
Oct 4, 2012I have two set of chain drives connected to each other through a common axle. The motor (which is not visible in my assembly) drives the yellow sprocket.
The two sprockets mounted on the grey axle is attached with a key way so when the yellow sprocket turns, the two chain drives turns.
I want to attach the blue sled on the blue chain, the red sled on the red chain and then rotate the yellow sprocket so both of the sleds moves with their chains (at the same speed/ time).
The blue sled is going to move a rolled bar (the orange one) on the floor (glass square) a certain length and then the red sled is going to "take over" and continue to move the bar on the floor.
I want to make sure I´ve got the spacing between the sprockets in the short chain drive (red) correct so the red sled takes over when the blue sled disappears under the floor.

Jul 30, 2012I am lookng for a way to allow multiple material selections for a drawing/model
We have components that avaialable in both 304 and 316. We have seperated stock codes for each of the selections what I would like to do is to come up with a way that I don't need multiple models of these features. The deisgns are virtually the same except for the material change.
In previous cad systems I used a tabled system in the model that would allow you to vary paramters such as Iproperties or even dimensions in one model.
This elimated duplication of work includeing double maintenance for the models?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Share 3D Models With Mac And Linux Users
Feb 6, 2013We are using Autodesk Inventor for our 3D modelling and we are working together with a group of scientists.
Those people would like to see our models, rotate them, take measurements, change the visibility of parts or subassemblies and maybe even make cross sections.
It works quite well with the Design Review program, but unfortunately our scientists mostly use Mac OS or Linux. Running Design Review under a windows emulation is not an option for our big models.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Professional 2013 - Lagging With Big Models
Aug 29, 2013At work we have recently upgraded to Inventor 2013 Pro, Although Inventor isnt the most widely used program in the company so its hard to find time to do some set up and get it going smooth. My problem is that i am working on a large process plant all done in inventor and the file is quite large. It takes along time to load and is really laggy when inside the model. Now the model is based in my local office's server my question is if i was using Vault would it keep a local copy on my C:// rather than trying to refresh all parts from ther server. If it is a matter that when working with large files using Vault is the better option than i will need to take some advantages

AutoCAD Inventor :: DimFactor - Converting Models To Drawings
Dec 31, 2013Often i take 3D models and lay them out flat in Sheet Metal. Take the flat layout and convert it to DXF in AutoCAD. I recently came across an issue i haven't seen before and am confused as to how it occurred. I dimension the blanks in Inventor since Inventor is much more user friendly then AutoCAD as far as dimensioning goes. Somehow my DIMFactor was switched to .8 in AutoCAD which made my model scaled to 1.25 and therefore incorrect. I have no clue how i switched my DIMFactor to .8 in Autocad.
