AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Default Material To Steel?
May 28, 2012I received a rather large assembly file from a client that was done in Pro E. I was wondering if it is possible to change the entire assembly from Default material to steel without having to go into each individual part and changing its material manually (which could take several hours) I am using INV 2012 Pro with SP1 installed.

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.

Jan 7, 2012I am looking for a material database with more steel types than the ones that are installed in inventor.
Is there a comprehensive database that I can download and install or do I need to add the material one by one.
Normaly I can just copy a existing steel and just use the existing properites and just change the name but I see a risk of this since in the future I may want to simulte a part and then the material data is not correct.
So... is there a good list that I can download and install??
AutoCAD Inventor :: Drawing Hydraulic Steel Pipes
Dec 4, 2011I am drawing hydraulic steel pipes using the 3d sketch command. I enter in the points representing the change of direction of the center line of the pipe as if it had no bend radii.
The points are entered in using absolute X,Y,Z coordinates, choosing one end of the pipe as 0,0,0.
I then join the points using the line command. I then put the bend radii on using the bend command.
I then draw a 2d sketch of the 2 circles representing the id , od of the pipe on a normal plane at the start point 0,0,0
I then sweep the 2D sketch along the path of the 3D sketch. I then place axes at the center of each straight portion of pipe . I then place points the intersection points of consecutive axes to replicate the original setting out points (3D x,y,z coordinates) that I used in the 3D sketch.
Then I create my idw with 3 orthographic views (showing the relevant axes as a symbols in each view, an isometric view and a coordinate table showing the x,y,z coordinates of each labelled change of direction. I then pull the pipe into an assembly and put the fittings on each end.
This is another IDW showing the fittings and a parts list. I have inventor suite 2012, along with tube and pipe. However I have never tried it.I don't know how it works, maybe it would be better to use that?
Another question on the measuring of pipes. If a sample is made and then backdraughting needs to be done how do you measure it.
Method used before I arrived was measuring lengths and angles. Highly inaccurate. Never worked. Pipes never drawn. Ended up being photographed only, which was not good enough to make spare parts for service technicians in the field, they had to go out to measure on site and make up on site.
I introduced measuring the change of direction vertices of the centreline of the pipe as if there was not bend radius.
More accurate, but highly difficult to measure. Use steel rules and squares. Never right the first time. Always have to check putting the pipe on top of a full scale drawing.
Tried to improve method of measurement by printing out a A0 piece of graph paper and using that as the background to lay the pipe on. Better/easier and more accurate again, but still not spot on, have to check and adjust using the pipe on top of a full scale plot.
Short of buying some type of expensive 3D measuring machine, which in our case would not warrant the cost as we do not do this type of drawing 100 per cent of our time, not even 30 per cent, what is the best method of measuring pipes accurately.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Calculations In Content Center For Steel Shapes
Aug 27, 2009I am looking at the Content Center data. In this specific case, ANSI AISC Rectangular flat bar steel.
The calculations for Section Modulus seem to be the same for both parameters Wx and Wy.
The calculation for Wx shows in the column properties as: (({G_W} * {G_H} * {G_W}) / 6)
The calculation for Wy shows in the column properties as: (({G_W} * {G_W} * {G_H}) / 6)
These calculations show in the Expression Column as red text. I can modify them but I have no option to OK the dialog box.
The Moment of inertia calculations that are later in the family table use these sections as part of their calculations.
Am I wrong here in my belief that the Section Modulus calculations are wrong and therefore the Moment of Inertia are wrong also?
As an extension of this question, does the Stress Analysis in 2010 use these calculations? Are these numbers used anywhere?
Photoshop :: Crock Man (mild Nudity)
Jun 28, 2004I like this painting with texture technique stuff. Have worked (and learned) alot on this one, so I am maybe to close to judge the quality of it.
Cant explain to you the process except I used a texture for crocodile skin, a texture for lizard skin and a lot of different brushes and sizes as well as 5 layers.
I still dont have a handle on the differances between all the brush modes like overlay, linear burn, color dodge etc.....

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Material Library - Assigning Specific Steel Type?
Sep 27, 2013When assigning materials to a part in inventor the process is simple, however when one wishes to assign a specific steel type ie ASTM A516 as opposed to just a generic steel then this is where it gets a little more complicated.
This specific steel type will also need to be called up in the parts list relevant to the individual part that it is attached to.
I know that a custom material can be added to the favourites section in the materials library,and this can be done if required.
Have i delved deep enough into the inventor materials library , do the basic steel and others materials ie plastics break down into specific types with their elastic properties,yield stresses etc etc in other words a more comprehensive materials library or is this something that must be created by custom material input.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Stainless Steel Sheet - Rotate Texture Through 90 Degrees
Aug 7, 2013We use a lot of #4 finish Stainless steel sheet.
I have automated the changing of the active renderstyle to "Polished Brushed" to approximate this, but usually orientation is important. For instance, the texture will be around tube, and on large sheets, we want to keep all the sections orientated one specific direction.
I'd like to be able to easily rotate the texture thru 90 degrees (and possibly, a user selectable angle).
I'd prefer not to have to manually select a face first, either.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Place 2D Steel Profiles In Part File As Sketch?
Sep 18, 2012[URL]
I am looking for the best way to place multiple columns in a single part file (as independant parts). I want to do this to accurately represent a steel structure that we purchase with a single part number. The structure is purchased and not modified so I figured a single part file would be better than an assembly file with multiple parts.
I thought the best way would be to extrude a 2D wide flange beam profile. However I would like to just pick the profile from a database (content center?) instead of going through the hassle of sketching each profile manually.

Oct 4, 2012I've generated my steel frame model using a skeletal model technique. So my part file consists of only sketch lines representing where I want my steel to be placed. I've created an assembly and used that in my inventor.dwg file.
The problem is that I need to dimension to the sketch file and not to the model shapes because the sketch lines define the center of gravity. These lines aren't visible even though I've right-clicked on the content and selected "Get Model Sketches". How I can get my skeletal model through to the DWG environment?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface From Grade
Jul 28, 2013I'm working on a grading plan which excavates down from just outside the waterline of an existing pond. When I create a surface from the grading, it looks like a whole bunch of strange break lines have been added, messing up the surface. I thought it might be the mid ordinate distance but changing that doesn't seem to fix it it. Interestingly, when I grade from the original waterline, this doesn't seem to happen.
Here is my workflow, a picture of the result is shown below.
1. Turned the current waterline into a feature line.
2. Created new feature line by offsetting outside that feature line by 3.16 ft.
3. From new feature line, grade down 10 feet at 3:1
4. Create new surface using grading.
The grading lines (shown in white) look correct. But when I create the surface (green and yellow), it is all messed up.
