AutoCAD Inventor :: Bend Messing Up Rotational Relationship
Oct 1, 2013I dont know why, because I never had this problem before, but I am bending an object and the bend command is distorting the circle I made as a pivot point.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Stress Analysis Constraints With Both Translational And Rotational Movement
Jun 13, 2013I'm attempting to model a spreader bar that we have in the workshop to estimate what load it should be certified for. It will be suspended froma 2 chain sling attached to the outside top lugs and the load suspended from the bottom outside lugs.
My problem is that simply constraining the inside faces of the top lugs with pin constraints results in erroneous values as the lugs can't move relative to each other. The other method I've tried is constraining the same faces using a fixed constraint and de-selecting the z-axis. Now they can move but I end up with large stresses inside the lugs as they attempt to resist the moment that's now been created.
Is there any way to select individual degrees of freedom (both rotational and translational) or at least set up the simulation in such a way that the constraints accurately represent reality?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Multi-link Car Suspension Assembly Drawing - Rotational Joints Binding
Nov 28, 2013I've been teaching myself inventor over the past couple of months so I can design the rear suspension setup for my car.
I've got the IRS modelled with enough detail to show my engineer the concept, but I want the suspension to "work", ie each link will move as the suspension flexes.
I'm attaching the arms (blue, dark green, red and yellow) to the cradle (orange) using the joint command, and selecting "rotational". This works fine and the arms can swivel about a single axis as they should. But as soon as I attach the knuckle (lime green) to the other end of all the arms using the same type of joint (except the joint with the blue lower control arm, which is a ball joint), nothing will move.
I understand that in real life, each joint has a bit of "slop" in it, allowed by rubber bushings, which prevents the whole setup from binding.
To my uneducated mind, the solution would lie in one of 3 methods: Convert all the joints to ball joints (I'd like to avoid this if possible) Add some kind of flexible rubber bushing to all of the joints (probably not possible) Get rid of the rotational joint constraints altogether and somehow mate all the parts to each other using work points, rather than a cylindrical bolt and eyelet, so that each arm has full range of movement in both the X and Y axes.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Assembly Relationship Folder
Jul 17, 2013Every time i open the view rapp folder the relationship folder will open too. If i will close the relationship folder...and open again the view rapp then it repeats.
The problem is that my assemblies has many parts an a lots of constraints...so my browser is quickly full of constraints visually. I use a lots the view rapp...so there is away to maintain the relationship folder closed ...or open only when i will click on it?

View 6 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Cut Across Bend Feature
Dec 27, 2013I'm trying to use the cut across bend feature on a sheet metal part. However, when I check cut across bend, it grays out all of the other cutout options, and only has thickness as the only option. This is perplexing to me, because I can't think of too many times I'd need this option other than when there is more than one thickness of material I need to manipulate the profile onto.
I was to understand that this "cut across bend" is for use similar to the "normal cutout" command in solid edge? Keeps the cut perpendicular to the sheet face in a sheet metal part.

There should be a degree symbol after the 90 in my examples but I can't figure out how to type it here. I can get DOWN 90 R1/2"[DOWN 90 R13] but it's too long.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Cannot Mirror A Bend In 2014
Jun 22, 2013Inventor 2014 LT / have run into a problem in a throw-away project I"m working on.
A simple example is to create a piece of 3x5x.125 flat bar, add a sketch giving you a bend line and bend the end of it. Now try to mirror the whole thing giving you a 3x10x.125 flat bar bent on both ends.
FWIW: My project isn't this simple - I know I can just make the FB and bend both ends ... this is an example of mirroring a bend not working.

View 7 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Sheet Metal - Cut Across Bend
Dec 20, 2012I have a sheet metal door with a little bracket that gets welded to the inside lip through a cut-out in the face of the door. (see assembly)
I can't get the cut-out to line up flush with the inside lip of the door, as that is where the brackets gets welded to. the current aseembly is set-up the way I want, but I can't get a flat pattern on the door, becasue of the cut going across the bend.
I have checked off the "cut across bend" in the cut dialogue box, but this leaves a small (~1/32) lip in the cut-out and runs interference in the placement of the bracket.

All well and good so far... Now create a Table using the flat pattern view as the source, which creates a Bend table just fine.
Place the table on the sheet and Tags are added to the bend lines which is wonderful and great. Now try to move a tag.... BZZZZZZ your time is up you can't.
Yet in your Sheet Metal Annotations in Drawing - Wiki Help page in the Procedures - Create or edit a bend table - Create bend tags section it states:
Tip Drag the bend tag text away from the original position to add a leader to the bend tag. Is this a bug or something not set right on my system?

Oct 6, 2011I have some code that find the length of a bend and it works great until there is a cut operation that passes through the edge of the part and through the bend. When this cut exists the systems recognizes the single bend 2 times which is fineand it should, just that it should also then be able to determine the length of each segment. It appears to be providing the length of the first segment twice. Any way to get either the segmented lengths or the length of the bend without the cut?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Any Way To Preload Info - Bend Radius
Feb 27, 2012Is there a way to preload information into Inventor in regards to the break press such as the dies being used or the ones available so the when the computer is deciding a bending radius,it know what tool we have?
Currently the bend radius is set to "radius", which i am assuming is default, but I can't figure out how to change that either, and depending on the thickness it will change, but like today it said I would need a 1/16th inch radius, but we don't have a 1/16th inch die,it is an 85 degree air bending setup,and has a 4 way die with smaller and bigger openings.
