AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Mesh Inside Cylinder
Apr 6, 2012I'm having difficulty trying to create what could be described as a diamond pattern inside a cylinder. How to achieve this.
Please see picture for an idea of the pattern.

Working on a simple cylinder with a coil runing around the outside of it. For some reason the mesh does not handel the geometry correctlly - can figure our why - any thoguths ? Attaced are pics from the meshing and the model.

Is this possible without using inventor studio? I can't figure out what constraint or joint to use.
I want to creat a hollow cylinder. But I need to be able to unfold it to have a layout of the cylinder. So that when this DWG goes to the floor the technicans knows how much he/she will need from the sheet to roll the cylinder.

View 9 Replies View RelatedThere are many examples of creating rectangular patterns, but not many, if any, of interrogating existing patterns.I have attached the files and a screenshot of a rectangular part inside an assembly. The part contains a rectangular pattern of holes and workplanes.how do I get hold of each proxy of the workplane in the pattern?In other words I don't know what to put in the for loop at the end of this code fragment:
If _invApp.Documents.Count = 0 Then MsgBox("Need to open an the assembly document") ReturnEnd If If _invApp.ActiveDocument.DocumentType <> DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject Then MsgBox("Need to have an Assembly document active") ReturnEnd If Dim asmDoc As Assembly Document asmDoc = _invApp.ActiveDocument Dim asmDef As AssemblyComponentDefinition asmDef = asmDoc.ComponentDefinition im occurrences As ComponentOccurrencesoccurrences.

I try to migrate our ObjectArx Api to Inventor. Therefore I need a function to create a mesh from a solid.
With Autocad .Net Api, I can use GetObjectMesh(DbObject obj, MeshFaceterData parameter). Does in the Inventor Api a similar function exist?
In the parameters I need to set the deviation in the same way as in the Autocad .Net Api.
Example:
FaceterDevNormal = 0.1;
FaceterDevSurface = 0.1;
FaceterMeshType = 2;
My problem is I have an object polyface mesh and any point, determine which points in the mesh object polyface not?

1. I made a box 100(W)X100(D)X20(H) with 2xR20 (mm) fillets at the opposite edges.
2. I copied a box I made for making 2 type mesh.
3. I made mesh on the box without "Create Curved Mesh Elements" option.
Node number: 2374
Element number: 1365
4. I made mesh another model with "Create Curved Mesh Elements" option.
Node number: 2374 (same number, not increase)
Element number: 1365
Mesh shape is different(please refere attachiment jpeg file).
I think that "Create Curved Mesh Element option" is not for making second tetrahedron elements.But I cnanot the true porpose of "Create Curved Mesh Elements" option.For only P method, not H method?
With iLogic, define some pre notes and when the user choose one option some notes are chosen too.The idea now is: Create a text direct inside on Sketched Symbol OR edit some textfields inside the Symbol.
The symbol could be one existent, so its not necessary to create it.
I got a code to create the text, and that works perfectly! Just what im trying now is create this text into the Symbol... I've tried many ways with reference from: URLs....The code to create the tet im usnig is this one:
' a reference to the drawing document. ' This assumes a drawing document is active. Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument ' a reference to the active sheet. Dim oActiveSheet As Sheet oActiveSheet = oDrawDoc.ActiveSheet ' a reference to the GeneralNotes object Dim oGeneralNotes As GeneralNotes oGeneralNotes = oActiveSheet.DrawingNotes.GeneralNotes Dim oTG As TransientGeometry oTG = ThisApplication.TransientGeometry ' Create text with simple string as input. Since this doesn't use ' any text.
[code]....
but, if i could just edit one existent text filed into the symbol would be great too and one "extra doubt", in all the codes that i get here, i have to erase the "public sub" and the "set" from all code, am I doing something wrong ? I'm running directly from the iLogic window.
I'm trying to create a solid using the inside geometry of a shell in Inventor 2011. is there a simple way of doing this? i have attached the part i'm working on and need a solid that represents the free space inside the shell.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an assembly that has somewhere a hole with a round bar that exactly fits in this hole. But when meshing the assembly, the mesh of the hole and the mesh of the bar are different.
The result is that the different parts do only seem to touch each other at the edges of the mesh, resulting in high stresses.
See picture.
I tried to made a derived part from the assembly, but that one does not finish meshing. After 48 hours, the progress bar is still half way. While the one above did finish in about 15 minutes. What can I do to make the meshes match?

I use the smooth bind to bind the skin with the skeleton, and then ik handle tool selecting the both end joints. But when i move the ik handle the object will not bend even though the skeleton is bending. I can only point the cylinder in the direction i want it.

I've modeled it to my liking using a mesh surface, how can I "subtract" this area from my 3d solid body? I also have Fusion360, but don't really know how to use it.
is there is an way to create a mesh if available 2 3dpoline or need lisp
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'd like to be able to create a surface or mesh from contour lines to give a better 3D representation of terrain than just contour lines. "Drape" seems to be the tool ACA, but I'm wondering if AutoCAD can do something similar. LOFT sorta works, but even then, I have to do it in sections, and I'm not really looking for a solid.

I have tried to go through the same steps, but I can not select the inside of the rip to built hems and flanges on. I also tried to make the cylinder by sketching 350 degrees of the cylinder instead of creating a rip, This had the same problem.
Why I can't select these edges or how I can work around it?
How can I create a rib that touches a plane and the end of a cylinder? Inventor will not do it since the thickness of the rib does not touch the cylinder (see attachment).
View 8 Replies View RelatedIn previous versions I could create a flat polygon mesh by typing "3D" and have an option to create a planar mesh "M" X "N" by specifying the 4 corners along with M and N. I don't see a way to draw this mesh in 2012 without having to ID every vertices. This procedure is listed in the Legacy portion of Help, but I do not see a way to do it.

How can I constrain the fins (which have a flat face) to the outside of the cylindrical rocket tube? The photo shows the fin and the face (the narrow and long face) that I am trying to constrain to the tube.
I want to do a simple bend of a cylinder. That is, I have made a 40inch length and want to bend it at several places.
I keep finding a reference to bend part but the tool does not exist in Inventor.
1. I would like to scribe number of lines in axial direction & around the circumference of a cylinder
2. Secondly, I want those lines to be visible on .idw file so that I can print my drawing
I have a telescoping cylinder that someone else modeled. It has an extended and retracted positional rep. I want to make it free moving so that is will move in and out inside another assembly. I can get it to move freely and stop at it's extents using contact sets. My problem is that when you jump from a retracted position to an extended position the center rod "escapes" from the housing.

I am currently working on a project in school about hydraulic systems, so i would like to learn how to make a functional hydraulic cylinder. I have seen a few examples on youtube, but none of which explain how its done.
