what I would like to know is the 'simple' way to create a keyway on a shaft in the middle that does not connect to the ends. End connecting keys are pretty basic to draw and extrude thru (maybe still a better way?)
File attached for viewing .
I am using the design accelerator to create a shaft with multiple features. Works well. This shaft is 90"+ in length and although I realize we create in full scale, having it display into my drawing in full scale is unnecessary because one diameter is nearly 60" long. As such I would like to shorten it by using a shaft end, but cannot figure how to do it.
Just to be clear, by shaft end (term used in Mechanical) I refer to the squiggly lines that basically fudge the OAL of a component.
I'm using Inventor Professional 2014
I created several Parts with the Shaft Generator, and from one moment to another it always says that it can't update the part file with the new shaft when I press Ok.
Here is the original error, I'm german, so of cause its in german, but i discribed above what it says:

How I could go about creating a standard locknut thread, with the shaft generator (easy so far) BUT create a proper single rounded end key way? It does the end of the locknut groove with the rad that exits the shaft, but in complete truth (and 15+ years of experience.) I have never seen this done in the real world.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have created a shaft and splined one end of it successfully. The shaft is the same diameter at both ends and I need to spline the other end as well but when I try, I get the following error messages, Cannot create iFeature. Not possible to create shaft groove. Splining the first end went without a hitch but Inventor absolutely refuses to spline the opposite end of the shaft. The shaft diameter is correct for the spline I have chosen (same as the major diameter)

I am trying to create a simulation in which a shaft rotates and the a spur gear attached to the other end rotates with it. When I apply torque to shaft, the shaft does rotate but the gear does not. I believe I have done something wrong with the constraints.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have written some VB code which updates parameters in a model. I would like the code to update the shaft parameters. The shaft is created using the shaft generator. I can use a parameters to set the lengths, diameters and fillets. But when the parameter updates the length stays the same. If I open the shaft assembly, click 'edit using design accelerator' and then click 'ok' in the window the shaft updates. Is there anyway to do this automatically?, maybe through iLogic or API?

What factor of safety value the Shaft Generator program uses when you run the calculations?
Does the factor of safety value change when you are not using the inventor user material option?
Lastly, when exactly do you know when to use the density option in the calculation properties or not?
i am trying to design a shaft with a cut out that would cut along the shaft a a set angle and wrap around the shaft.
I am going to have a bearing ride along the cut out and cover this to a linear motion but can't seem to grasp how you do this in inventor 2013.
Have attached a simple assembly..i have constrained the parts but how do i get the shaft/Fan to spin inside the case?

View 3 Replies View Relatedis it possible to produce something like in the attached image using the design accelerator? Instead of making a cylinder and sketching the spline patterns and extruding? To me there must be a way besides sketching and use the library's of standard splines patterns and sizes.

I create a engine assembly and used "Drive Constrain" to rotate the crank shaft. The animation shows the crank shaft turns continuously in one direction. However, when I animate the constrain in Inventor Studio, the crank shaft turned in two different directions (see the vide file attached).
May I know why the crank shaft turns different direction?
how to create a brush stroke with a point on both ends? It's fairy easy to create a stroke with a point on the front end using the Shape Dynamics, but how do I create a point on the tail end as well? I have a Wacom pen and even the sensitivity function on it can't get a point on both ends no matter how sensitive I draw a quick stroke.
The stroke on the right is the typical brush stroke I get when playing with the "shape dynamics" to get a point on my stroke. The stroke on the left is one I rendered to display how I'd like my strokes to look.
Reducing the Roundness of a calligraphic brush to 0% seems to create 'flat' ends to a stroke, but, on closer inspection, the ends are not perfectly flat/straight.
The line seems to start and end with a slight 'S' curve; it's less visible when the stroke has a different bearing, but I need it to be gone - is this possible? I'm trying to create a calligraphic brush with perfectly flat ends.
When I open a drawing, Inventor 2012 update views. The default option is Background update". The problem is the update never ends... I can use Inventor, but the background update is ne finished, so I can't print a correct drawing.
If I disable Back upDate it is ok, but how can I use it ?
Basically a 2.5" id tube with a .06 wall thickness - 16ga exhaust tubing. Once I finaly got the drawing right, I cannot rip the part. The part has both ends cut. If one of the ends is left un cut I can create a sketch and put a point where I want to rip, and successully rip the part. If both ends has a cut end has a cut, there is a RIP error. How to overcome this headache? I am trying to make a template which If i can rip the part, I will be able to do so.

I've got the basics down, made a couple of basic parts and a simple assembly but having a bit of an issue with constraining a part at 2 ends.
basically, i've got a simple wheel with a piston attached, think steam engine drive wheel. Ive produced a frame to attached it all too and can position the wheel to the frame and piston to the wheel and the cylinder to the piston but when i try to constrain the other end of the cylinder to the frame it all seems to go wrong and things start jumping all over the layout.
I have been trying to unfold round tubing made through the frame generator. Here are the steps I took:
1. Used Frame Generator
* both ends of the tube are notched
2. Opened part and converted into sheet metal
3. Used the following tutorial: URL...
4. Was not working so I drew sketches on both ends of the notched tubing and added points
5. Used rip tool (point to point) and did not work
* I made sure the thickness was the same
I thought I was doing something wrong so I generated a new round tubing frame with only 1 end notched and the other end flat and followed the tutorial. IT WORKED! I have came to the conclusion that you can not use the rip tool on tubing that has both ends notched.Is there a way where I can cut the tubing in half so I have 2 individual pieces/files of tubing with 1 end flat and 1 end notched?
I'm creating a 3d ramp and need to create one surface of the whole thing, but as its overlapping on certain areas the surface keeps attaching itself to the corridor below it and another corridor crossing over top.

I have a part which is lets say 10ft long. Now I need to modify that to be 9.5ft. Is there a simple way to remove that .5ft from the center of the part?
I just need a way to cut out a .5ft section in the middle and then put the two remaining pieces back together. Doing this would be much easier than editing the sketches for the part, especially since I may have to change the amount that is cut out and that would change the number of holes and features.
Attached is a picture of the parts i have to edit and some lines to show the section that needs to get removed.
I have the outline of a shape as a dashed line. Is it possible to connect the dashes to create a solid outline?

I am using ilogic to modify the boxes:
I have a one rectangular box in that box again small rectangular boxes in this my problem is when iam giving value for smaller boxes(all boxes height) more than outer box how it will show the message box and how to stop the code.
d1=big box height
d2,d3,d4---small boxes height
I am writing code like this:
IF((d2+d3+d4)=<d1) then
Msg.box(give correct value)
end if
here it's showing the message and it,s not stoping the program.
I've been researching this all day and I can't find anything that works for me. Is there a way to change the middle mouse button from "Pan" to "Rotate" my model? Currently, I hold "Shift" while holding down the middle mouse button and that rotates my model. Can I incorporate that into my middle mouse button somehow without having to buy a 3D Connexion mouse?
