AutoCad :: How To Use Area Calculation Tool
Apr 29, 2013I don't use the area calculation tool that much. I was just working out a large area for concrete. I use TOOLS - INQUIRY - AREA. Thats all fine and it gives me the area, for instance, to keep it simple 4900 x 9000 = 44.10m² AutoCad displays it as 44100000. I know it's not a major problem, but is there anyway I can get it to display as 44.10 or at least lose all the zeros.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Using A Surface For Volume Calculation?
Sep 25, 2012I have run a volume between two surfaces, I need to further to break that new volume surface up to get volumes for each section. I know in microstation you can fence a volume surface and it will tell you the volume for that area. Is there a function in civil 3d that works like this. I know I can break it up manually and create new surfaces, I am looking for a time saving appoarch and trying to minimize file size.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Link Surface Area IProperty To Table In IDW
Jan 24, 2013I have created a simple iPart that has three length variations, and therefor has three different surface areas.

I would also like to include the surface area for each iPart member alongside each length variation in the table.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Dome With Fins Construction
Nov 22, 2011How better to represent this shape - its a dome, which the height is a parameter (elispe), and the fins coming off the top of the dome are supposed to be angled (thicker at the bottom then the top), and the height of the fins needs to increase as they move towards the center.
I created a dome with a repeating pattern of fins but having trouble getting the varying thickness of each fin along with the varying height - the whole part I'm wanting it to be a thin wall shell that can be cast in aluminum and then cleaned up with cnc -
AutoCAD Inventor :: Dome Solid Without Hard Edges
Mar 14, 2013I need to create several domed solids (as different parts) based on 2D sketches of various shapes. I am trying to emulate domes that you might creating by pouring thick resin.
Using this forum I have found that you can do this easily using Loft to-point, then use the Conditions tab to get the dome height/shape set nicely.
The only problem is when the 2D shapes have a corner that is too sharp - then it leaves ridges on the domes - like the arrows show on this example - which is based on a simple rectangle with 0.5m radius corners:
I found one thread on this forum that said to use Delete-Face, then Patch - but the I couldn't get the patch to leave nice smoothed edges - and without bulging.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Calculation Of Safety Factor
Dec 29, 2011In the attached report, safety factor is se to calculate from ultimate tensile stress (485 MPa), and it indicates 1.33 with stresses:
Von-Mises: 323 MPa..............SF = 1.5
1st principal: 303 MPa.............SF = 1.6
2nd principal: -181.2 MPa....... SF =2.67
So, how is inventor getting 1.33 ?
EDIT: if I set it to calculate from yield ( 260 MPa) it accurately reports SF = 260/323=0.8
EDIT: added part file

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Negative Mass Calculation In 2013?
Nov 22, 2012My company recently installed Inventor 2013. In previous versions we used a part with negative density similar to seawater to calculate submerged weight and CoG.
In IV 2013, it seems that the ability to calculate negative mass is not longer available.
This is how it worked in pre 2013 IV, when I could specify a negative density.
What I have is a spool made of steel. This spool is modelled as an iAssembly with four configurations:
-In air, empty
-In air, filled with glycol
-Submerged, empty
-Submerged, filled with Glycol
For this example, I now need three parts:
-Steel Pipe
-Glycol derived from the inside volume the pipe
-Seawater buoyancy derived from the outside volume of the pipe.
Each part has its own density, and the assembly weight and CoG correspond to the assembly configuration (with or without glycol) and environment (in air or submerged).
The seawater buoyancy represents the water displaced by the total spool assembly, regardless of the contents. To achieve correct weight in the submerged state, the buoyancy material has to have a negative density.
I do not want to make any of the mass parameters static, and I also fear that the CoG might not be updated correctly when using that method.
As I no longer can define a negative density, any optional method to achieve this without overriding the mass value.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Calculation On Length Of Folding Feature
Nov 19, 2011I would like to know what calculation on the length of a folding feature is performed by Inventor when one folds it. Read my example to better understand my question.
I am trying to fold a part of my sheet 90 degrees, I am going to call the folding part sheet B and the rest of the sheet, sheet A. Now, understand that when I fold sheet B 90 degrees, its face will no longer be parallel to sheet A, but the face of its thickness will. Consider this, now: when I fold the sheet B, there will be an inner part of the folding (which will have the faces of both sheet sections 90 degrees from each other) and the outer part (which will have an angle of 270 degrees between them).
I want the distance between the thickness face and the outer face of sheet A to be X in length. Which is the intial length of sheet B for this to happen? Consider using the BendRadius, Thickness, and other Inventor Sheet Metal parameters that will participate in the equation.
The question surged because I wanted such distance to be 5 in a part with a Thickness setting of 0.5 (as well as BendRadius), but because of this folding length calculation, I had to make sheet B 5.631 in length.

What I want to do is retrieve a report for a defined section of a surface, regardless, of what type of surface it is. I see this as simple as deriving the 3D areas of the trinangles within a bounds of a TIN.
