AutoCAD Inventor :: Contour Flange - Cut Out Of Brackets
Sep 30, 2011I made a sketch for a bracket and used sheetmetal/contour flanges tool to make solid.I had to use 2 contour flanges to get the shape as i could not get it to work with 1 contour flange.Is this not possible due to something wrong with my sketch?
Other question is have i used the Cut tool correctly for the cut out of the brackets?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Contour Roll With Flange?
Jan 6, 2012I'm having no problems creating the contour roll, but it won't let me add flanges to the outside edges. I have attached a file that shows the measurements that I want. I need to be able to create a flat pattern. The material thickness is .1046" and 3" deep.

Oct 15, 2013I have sketched a fan casing which consists of a series of tangential arcs. The sketch is fully defined but when I try to use "Contour Flange" I get the following error:
Sheet Metal: Contour Flange Creation failed.
19-3-101-26-2.ipt: Errors occurred during update
The attempted operation did not produce a meaningful result. Try with different inputs.
Try decreasing bend radius
Feature Compute failed.
My guess is the end points of the arcs are not defined correctly but I do not know how to fix. I have attached the file.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Simple Contour Flange - Could Not Build FlatPattern

AutoCAD Inventor :: Cut Flange To A Slope
Feb 17, 2012What I have is a bracket that sits on a pitched roof (ipt attached). The part was set up to reflect the positioning. On the lower side of the pitch, the easiest thing was to scuplt the flanges to the slope. Although the flat pattern results in some edges not being perpendicular to the face (See image). These show on the drawing. I realize you can remove these in the drawing but it would be nice to not worry about it.
What would be a better way of handling this situation?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sheet Metal Bin - Add Flange
Aug 8, 2013I am working on a bin type unit, and am having trouble creating a flange, I am creating the bin in the final product stage, then I will separate into manufacturer components. I am having trouble adding this flange around the top 4 edges of the bin. I need the four corners to meet on a miter 45. I will then rip down each seam and have 4 separate panels.
Is this a bad workflow? Is there a better route? I attached the part in Inventor 2013 format,

Nov 15, 2012I am trying to make a way that suppress the flange features of all the panels that will be insert in the assembly so i can suppress all the features at ones in a assembly and don't have to do that for each panel separately.
I have a assembly with parameters and i have a part with no geometry but have linked the parameters from the assembly. In my panel part i link the parameters to the part with no geometry.
When i use the parameter in the assembly to suppress the flanges that works the way i want it. But when i insert the panel part into that assembly it doesnot work.

Since it's a flange not a pipe I can't use the standard tube & pipe authoring method.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Offsetting Flange Using Sheet Metal
May 10, 2012I'm trying to make this part on Sheet Metal, and I have to offset this flange at 28 degree that meet 0.37". The thickness is 0.12". Currently, the only method that I know how to meet that 0.37" is by playing around (guess and check) with the number in picture 3. Any other methods to create this offset part.

Jul 24, 20121) I have assembly containing pipe and a flange. I want flange size to correspond pipe size. In other words, when parametrically change pipe size, flange size to be updated automatically. ( do i need to have two parts - pipe and flange, or it can be one assembly without need to create parts?)
2) Is it possible to control type of flange (slip-on, weld-neck.. etc) by parameters or need to make different assemblies for different flange type?
3) Then when flange and pipe sizes are updated would like to make overall length of that assembly whole number (since hub length changes with the flange size). how to round that overall length to integer?
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Combine Bend And Flange In Animation

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Use Lofted Flange On Offset Ellipse
Jun 27, 2012I am currently working with an elliptic profile that needs to be unfolded. The part consists of two sketches, with each sketch having two ellipses. The ellipses on each sketch then forms a cross-section where the thickness of it is supposed to be 8 mm (the first ellipse is offsett).
My plan is then to generate a mold for the inner and outer sides of this part by using the "Lofted flange" function and Rip, since I want the flat pattern of it. However, I've found that I can not select my offset ellipse when using Lofted flange, only the original one. I'm thinking that this might be caused due to the offset ellipse not actually being an ellipse but a spline (I read somewhere that there are two ways of offsetting an ellipse. One generates a mathematical ellipse and the other a spline). Creating an new ellipse and then saying that the a and b distance should be 8 mm less than the other ellipse will work, but that will not give me a constant wall thickness of 8 mm along the circumference of the elliptic cross-section.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sheet Metal Punch Tool With A Flange?
Feb 1, 2012I am trying to make a punch tool in inventor for sheet metal. I noticed that for the features I could not select faces or flanges I did. I know you can extrude the same shape to get the same result but I wanted to use a face/flange so that I can retain the flat development. What is the best way around this.
To get a sense of what I am trying to make:
-square cut out
-on the bottom edge of the square I made a face that is angled at 45 degrees
It would be closest to a louver tool.
