AutoCAD Inventor :: Simplified Part - Assembly Won't Merge Into One Seamless Part

Dec 11, 2013

I would like to simplify this assembly into one seamless part for FEM calculation:The assembly consists out of parts that, in reality, will be welded together. Due to their form, there is no way to place them exactly onto each other, therefore there are slight gaps between the parts:

Now when I try to merge the assembly into one part via "simplify" --> "create simplified part" and choose "single solid body with seams between planar faces merged", Inventor does not fill these gaps (even though it displays only one part in the bottom right corner of my window). Unfortunately, the remaining gaps brings "contact" problems in the FEM simulation.

how to close the gaps and really merge the assembly into one part?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Can Part Make Alterations To Other Part When Inserting In Assembly

Mar 29, 2012

I have a part that has protrusions. When i mate that part up to another part that second part needs to have cutouts/holes to receive those protrusions.

i mainly use it in sheetmetal parts. and use the rectangular protrusions on de contour to mate up with corresponding cutouts in the other sheet. this works with positioning and also makes for a nice weld spot/area.

But also for making holes to accommodate a mold pin used in custom punch dies. I want the intervening part to receive a corresponding (propperly tolleranced) hole automatically. Much like a bolted connection does.

same for parts like circlips. i want them to automatically generate the seat in the part it's mated to. Rather than using the axle generator.

Ofcourse one can place the parts and do an in assembly interpart projection and go from there, but i want the part to generate the (predifined) modification to the other part. It would save time and also reduces problems as the parts are moved about or even removed.

AutoCAD Inventor :: CoG Needed For Each Sub Assembly In A 2 Part Assembly On An IDW

Oct 3, 2013

I have a two part duct fire damper assembly. The IDW has the combined two part assembly, which I know how to turn the CoG on, so that it can be dimensioned. The problem is each piece will more than likely be hoisted separately so I would like to show the CoG for each piece, not the combined master assy.is there a way to do this?

AutoCAD Inventor :: User-defined Part Still Appears Like Standard

Jun 28, 2012

After saving a part from libary as 'user-defined' to edit it, it still appears with the symbol for 'standard part' (blue T): Means I cannot move it around to sort the parts in the 'tree' or from a folder to another and so on.

Open the part and it has a normal component part symbol. But still not in the assembly. I sometimes cannot change properties in the parts list. The name is different from the name in the folder (pictures).

Second thing: Using 'copy' to copy a assembly into a new folder, the user-defined part still behaves like a standard part and will not be copied as a normal part. - Not exactly what I need, when I make a part 'user defined'...

AutoCAD Inventor :: Colors In Top Level Assembly

May 21, 2012

I have a sub assembly with frame members and have used different colors for different sizes.  In the top level assembly all the colors are lost, presumably because it defaults back to material color.  Is there a way to get the frame  member colors to display and all assembly levels?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Assembly Colors

Jan 20, 2012

What's the best way to do this?

1. Model parts in steel using metal-steel color.
2. Create assembly from parts.
3. Leave metal-steel as default view.
4. Create new view rep with assembly colored blue.

There are two ways I can do this:

A. Create new view rep "Blue".

B. Select all parts and apply blue color at assembly level. View rep associations are broken.

OR

D. Create new view reps in each part "Blue" and make the part blue in that view rep.
E. Create assembly view rep "Blue" and apply part "Blue" view reps. View rep associations are kept.
A-B is quick but dirty, although in Default view the associations will be kept.

D-E can be tedious in large assemblies.

Is there a quicker way to change color but keep associations?

I am in Inventor customization using VB.net as development language. 

There is one issue which is troubling me from some time. 

Is it possible to identify the name of parent  assembly of part/sub-assembly.

For Instance there is a Sub-Assembly/Part, how can i identify the parent assembly using VB.net without opening that assembly.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Part Within Assembly

Oct 1, 2013

I have an assembly of  stair made from steel. There are lots of part the same. Is there a way to make a hole (inside assembly) to one and that hole would appear on all of them.

And another problem, how can I made cut (inside assembly) through more then one part so that would affect a part also when I open it alone.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Replace Assembly With Part

Oct 6, 2012

I am capturing a book-case design that I made long ago into Intentor.  I am almost finished, and I want to produce .dwg files and a bill of materials of parts that can be held.

For various reasons, almost all the items in the existing design are assemblies, and the underlying parts correspond more or less to half of physical parts that are contained inside a repeating cell.  I will almost certainly continue using this approach.

A simplified design that shows this is at [URL]..... in the file Display.iam

I created the file Slat.ipt by using derive (Slat.iam).

If I replace the Slat assemblies with the file Slat.ipt, the bill of materials will show parts that correspond to physical parts that I can hold in my hand, or list on an invoice.  I can do this with many, many mouse operations.

To make this modification quickly, I attempted to do Component -> replace on the Slat assembly.  I use this operation a lot to replace one version of an assembly with another.  When I do it with a .ipt file, the system pauses for some tens of seconds, then crashes.

A brute force work around is to use the mouse to do the replacement, essentially rebuilding the entire project in place.

When i create a part in an assembly, i select a plane or face with the cursor, but then i select again a plane for the sketch.

Why this double selection, and what does the first selection do, if the part is actually sketched on the plane i selected in the second time.

Normally you start with new models/assemblies/and drawings when you use the templates the naming by default  is part1.ipt, assembly1.iam,  drawing1.idw

I am currently at part431.ipt and assemby57.iam

I am concerned I may eventually reach part1000.ipt  LOL

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Use Part Parameters In An Assembly

I need to use parameters of a part in an assembly. How to do this? Do i need to define a rule? How is this done?

Can i do it without using an Excel sheet as a parameter source for both the assembly and the part? The target is to have inventor update an array of assets as soon as the width of a part is changed whether in Excel or in the Factory properties of the asset.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Assembly UCS To Part UCS Constraint

May 16, 2013

My need is to assembly parts into an assembly by a known position in the assembly. The part has a UCS and I create  UCS on the assembly programatically. What I cannot do is to constrain the two UCS. I tried this (Inventor 2013 x64 on W7/W8 64, c++ 2010 by the way DEBUG mode is not working from the IDE):

       CAssemblyComponentDefinition compDef = doc.get_ComponentDefinition();
       // MOdules UCS
       CUserCoordinateSystems coords = compDef.get_UserCoordinateSystems();
       CTransientGeometry geom = m_InventorApp.get_TransientGeometry();
                    CMatrix matrix = geom.CreateMatrix();
[code]...

AutoCAD Inventor :: Rotating A Part In Assembly

Sep 14, 2012

I'm using 2010 and maybe this has been addressed in subsequent versions, i don't know.i've designed parametic platform that I would like to insert into an assembly and have it prompt me for elevation and orientation. Short of VBA code, i'm not sure I can do this. I AM trying to make the process as simple as possible for use by people who will not be overly familiar with Inventor. The easier it can be done, the sooner it can be adopted and more people taught how to actually use it.

I know I can bring it in and constrain it different axes and planes.

I also know that I can insert a piece into an assembly and ground it at 0,0,0. Using that I can ground it at 80 feet in the air or whatever elevation I choose using the occurrence tab of iproperties for the part/assembly. That in and of itself goes a long way toward what i'm trying to do. There's also a rotational setting there that would work for setting an orientation, but it's greyed out. In fact, in any example I try and make, it's always greyed out.

I've tried doing it as an iassembly as well, but there doesn't seem to be any provision in iassemblies for making custom values like there is in an ipart.

Either a dialog to prompt for the info or via something like the occurrence tab is fine.each identical assembly/part has to be individually constrained to get the correct orientation?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Using Assembly To Create A Part

Nov 3, 2013

I'm trying to design a linear bearing that is composed of a billet of material to which six ball bearings are bolted. I was able to create a part representing the ball bearing from the manufacturer's dimensions. I then modeled a lock washer as a part, then an assembly consisting of a ball bearing and a lock washer. I then created an assembly from that assembly, with six of these ball bearing/lock washer assemblies in the desired orientations.

Now that I have the ball bearings oriented in space the way I need them, I need to model the billet to which they will all mount. I did things in this order because the ball bearings are metric, yet the rest of my design is in imperial units, and it just seemed easier to orient the bearings (which will interface with yet another assembly that I have yet to design) first.

I'd like to create my billet using the assembly as a reference. The assembly will tell me where I need holes in the billet to mount the bearings, where I need to cut out material for clearances, etc. I can't figure out how (or if) I can import my assembly into my part file, or what other tools are available to accomplish this task.

I'm attempting to model something similar to this. I've got the six bearings oriented in space, now I need to make the block to which they mount.
