AutoCAD Inventor :: Assembling Spring To Item
Nov 25, 2013I cant seem to find out how to assemble the spring to the rest of my item.
Will you be able to use the assembly if I do not provide the parts used(maximum 3 uploads)?

View 5 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Assembling Parts With Multiple Bolt Holes
Jan 6, 2012I'm trying to assemble two parts, each of which has four matching bolt holes.So I do a "mate" between a hole on one and a hole on the other. This works fine, and the parts now behave just like two parts bolted together with one bolt - one can be rotated relative to the other around the bolt hole. So there is one degree of freedom left to be constrained.
But the obvious ways to constrain that one last rotational constraint result in overconstraint. Trying a "mate" between the circles at the ends of the corresponding bolt holes breaks the first constraint, and the non-grounded object "jumps". Trying to auto-mate the two holes results in the holes being constrained as tangent, with the holes not lined up. I've tried constraining the center points of the end circles of the holes. That doesn't work right either.
Doing the second constraint as "tangent-inside" does work. That's a 1 DOF constraint, which makes sense.It took me a while to figure that out. The help files aren't very useful when multiple constraints are involved.

Aug 8, 2012I can't make a spring moving according to other parts' behaviour. I use Inventor 12. by the way I sent two photos (scanned by Microsoft Security Essentials-no problem), the spring in the photos was made by design accelerators-as compression spring. I want from spring to move with the other parts but it doesn't. For instance when I pull the blue part down, blue part, and the spring go the into of each other.

May 29, 2013Inventor offers us several options to design a coil of constant pitch with a tapering diameter. However, I am unable to create a coil with a taper and a changing pitch at the same time.
We are using Inventor 2013. I would like to produce similar parts as the attached 2D drawings in 3D, only with a changing pitch (distance between revolutions) per revolution. Can it be done? There is software for the CNC spring manufacturing machines to produce such parts. Therefore the proper inputs to produce these effectively and efficiently, are available somewhere.
The part I've been describing uses .09 diameter wire and has about 54 coils in about 8 inches. The starting inside diameter is about .53" and the pitch is about .27" the ending inside diameter is .109" +/- .01 with a pitch of about .091".
Here are 2D drawings of similar parts, the last (NF3) is closest to what we need.

Jul 2, 2013I have a piece of steel that I need to flex. It is a piece of blue tempered spring steel pressed against the corner of a brass pressure transfer. The opposite end of the transfer is tangentlly constrained to a latching mechanism. When the latching mechanism is lifted, the transfer rotates slightly around a screw (made invisible) and the spring is flexed. When the latch is released, the spring returns the latch to the closed position. I have several other assemblies that use the same principal, but some with just a piece of mild steel used as a cover as well as a spring.

Jul 19, 2012Is there a way to create a Coiled spring of 26 coils on an arc radius of 3.781inchs arc length of spring is 13.706inc
The major dia of the spring is 3/8 inch with the wire dia is NOT given
The original Hand done drawing are attached in PDF version 6 format
As for Inventor I'm using 2012. It is the first time I have come across this sort of problem I thought of doing a single coil and creating a sub assemble of it around a construction line arc rad with each coil mated and rotated at an angle to the other but then thought that there must be an easier way of creating this spring.

I would like to show the spring flexing back and forth with everything above the spring moving side to side as spring moves.
I have tried several ways to do this but have not had any luck. I haven't done a lot of animation.
I have attached the assembly and parts.
It doesn't have to perfect it's for a presentation.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Dynamic Simulation - Use Spring Joint Or Force?
Jan 28, 2013I'm designing a hinged cover for something right now that will use a pair of gas extension springs for assisted opening. I'm currently working to figure out how much force it will take to open the cover using different values of spring - it's available in 50, 100, 150, 200, etc., lb versions.
I've tried running simulations using a force applied to the moving end of the gas spring, and I've trued running simulations using a spring joint applied between the fixed and and the moving end of the gas spring, and I'm getting dramatically different results between the two. For instance, using a 200 lb force shows me that I need about 25 extra lbs of force applied to the handle of the cover to open it, where when I use that same 200 lbs on a spring joint, I need 50-75 lbs to keep the cover closed, because it will open on its own.

AutoCAD Inventor :: BOM Item Number
Jan 11, 2012In our company if we put a component in 5 different assemblies, we want that component to have the same item number no matter where it is in the parts list. In addition we group components to have a special item number... Meaning hardware like washer, bolts, and etc. to start with 500 series number.. Piping components would be 800 series...
Is there a way to do this in ILOGIC/VB?

THere's a few thigns wrong.
There's no item numbers.
It says the QTY is incompatible units????
And there's teh funny table like icon with an arrow pointing to it with my parts highlighted blue. What does this mean?
Again, everything was fine until I changed the names of the columns and changing the naems back doens't fix it.
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Change Item Number
Feb 21, 2011When create assembly, i placed 3 parts in order: A.ipt, B.ipt, C.ipt
And ofcourse the item number will be:
A is 1
B is 2
C is 3
this number will be the same in: item colum (in BOM table), ballon (in 2D drawing).
The problem is: i want to change this number,
A will be 2
B will be 1
C will be 3 when i ballon the part in 2D
I've used "renumber" in BOM, but it just change value in "item" colum (in BOM table), not change in "ballon" (in 2D drawing).
