When adding pressure loads to a perpendicular face inventor states that the pressure is applied uniformly to the selected face.As an example a disc of 300 mm dia(area= 70685 sq mm) with a uniform pressure load of 10MPa.
Is the 10MPa load input construed by inventor as 10MPa per square mm or 10MPa over the entire disc area.which is the correct interpretation?
I am well versed with the FEA system, however I do not see any way to get total pressure or load on a face. I know the info is there, the results let me probe points on the face, I just cannot find a way to get the total.
I have attached an image that illustrates the situation.
I will even dive into iLogic again if it is possible to achieve my goal there.
Is there a way to change the viewport to lookdown at a face? I am modeling some objects that it would benefit to be able to view from certain angles orthographically but the object isn't square so I can't easily align it to the front, top, side, etc. views.

N:B - pad eye is made by extrusion and pipe made by frame generator.
All I need to do is merge a circular face to a flat face, so both faces become one continuous face. Is this possible at all?
I have a attached a screenshot to show what I mean. Face 1 needs to be merged with face 2. This is so if I constrain anything to that face it will constrain to the entire face and not either the circular face OR the flat face.
When I click the Force command in the LOADS panel when doing a Frame Analysis, I don't get a dialog box. All I get is a select origin box with an arrow. There is no way to change the Magnitude value or the Angle of Plane as per instructions in the tutorial. I have tried numerous ways to get a dialog box to appear, but I can't find out how. why I am not getting a Dialog box?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI understand that in a normal part to apply a load to a face is to make it a UDL (uniformly distributed load) by default. To apply a point load, I was told to create a small sketch and use it to split a face to create, in effect, a small face on which to apply a load, effectively making it a point load.
Now in the frame analysis environment, there is clearly an option for 'force' and one for 'continuous force' which the description clearly describes as a uniformly distributed load. However, when I run the simulation (on a 2m long 100mm x 50mm x 4mm Rectangular hollow beam) with a normal load in the middle of the beam (1m offset); the maximum moment comes out at 500000 Nmm or 500 Nm. By my reckoning the moment should be 1000 Nm as the basic formula for a moment from a point load is M = F*D (Moment = Force * Distance). However, to get 500 Nm, it looks like Inventor is using M = (F*x^2)/2 where x is the midspan of the beam (in this case 1m). .is a normal load in frame analysis the same as a UDL? If so..how to I make it a point load?
There are also some errors stating instability of type 2 at various nodes, I've used both Pinned and Floating constraints at either end of the beam.
I was running a simulation with success including gravity and applied loads. I was checking both stresses and deflections. Both were in line with what I was expecting. The next day I went to change a few dimensions and run it again. The stresses and deflections were significantly less than expected (I did not tweak the dimensions very much). I changed my dimensions, remeshed and ran it again. It worked fine and returned expected results. I continued in this manner tweaking the size of my box.
Finally I went for one last run.... it didn't work again. It returned the significantly less than expected results. A bit of investigating revealed that it is only applying the gravity loads during the simulation. All of the applied loads are being disregarded (however, they show up in the report as if they are being applied.) If I supress the gravity my stress and deflections return 0 values. I have tried taking my loads off and reapplying them. I have tried removing the gravity load. I have remeshed. I have inputted my loads and the gravity in different orders. I cannot get my simulation to calculate using my applied loads. It was working fine.... what happened?
I have a situation where need to frame a W14x30 into a W14x61. When I perform the Notch command, the W14x30 is only partially notched. The W14x61 is taller by .05 in. I tried to notch the W14x30 by ending it at the flange edge of the W14x61. I also tried to notch by ending the W14x30 on the other side of the W14x61, both attempts yielding no results.

I have to take old black and white photos and replace the old faces with those of living people. The photos were scanned out of various photo books, and some of them were quite old. I used de-screening when I scanned them in, but there is still a 'texture' to the original photo and it doesn't look right when I put a nice, clear face off a digital camera shot to replace the original face.
I can buy a DVD tutorial from PixelPops to show me how this is done, but is there a simple way to do this so I don't have to spend the money? Yes, I can do a google search, but I don't even know what term to use for this particular process. I thought it might involve the healing or cloning tools,
I'm a beginner in Maya and have to model an object for college. I've modelled an iPhone 4 in Maya 2012 and I've added colour to it but i want to add an image to the screen face. I've added the image using lambert but the image is blown up and i don't know how to resize it. I've fiddled with the settings in '2d Texture Placement Attributes' but the only thing i've been able to do was rotate the image so it's not upside down, it's still blown up. Is there another editor window to resize it?
I've also tried using the UV Texture Editor but everything is a mess on top of eachother and everytime i move things around maya crashes . Is there any other way to add the image to the face?
Not sure if this should be a PS ? or not.... I have often heard if you can do it PS you can do it in AE.
I want to change the face of my text. Not color as with RGB selection, but with a pattern or texture.
IE: Billet Aluminum face with rivets or Diamond Plate look.
Normally I would matte it, but I also want to Extrude it For a "fat 3d look"
PS or AE?
Matte is not a renderable option using 3drt, Cheating it, using an alpha add mode and an alpha track is not getting a render. Is this a job for PS to create my text as a 3d text and then import it as a comp? Or will I lose 3d like in AI?
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?

View 9 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?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI made a custom model rocket a few days ago and I posted some pics online. A lot of the rocketry community gave me crap that my fins are too small, and my nose cone was not the right shape.
