any robust way to build naca wing profiles? We can get the points from a genertor but are struggling to sketch the profile without getteng reflux in the curve. We need to be able to offset the profile by at least 70% of it's height. An inventor naca generator would be nice but I guess that's a post for the customization group.

I was wondering if it is possible to create a flange on a rib of the wing section using sheet metal features. The point is that the flange is bent along the curve in most of the cases.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to create a wing rib similar to the one in the picture. I have been successful in recreating the basic shape itself, but I cannot figure out how to make the bend to the "lightening hole" (circle).

I know if I had Civil3D2012 I could do it, but can it be done with the Regular version I should say.
At my previous job I was using Civil3D2010 (darn economy Government job did lay offs) and now I'm using CAD2012 with new employer and I'm realizing that there are a lot of functions/commands that I don't have.
I am having some issues with surface profiles on a dreffed alignment no updating dynamically.
Currently it requires me to set them to static, then back to dynamic and they update.
I am well aware of the issue of dreffed surface profiles staying static. I am using the work around of dreffing in the surface and sampling in the drawing using the dreffed alignment.

I have a picture of an airplane and a company logo. I need to put the logo in such a way that it looks as if it is painted on the wing. For that I need to twist it, rotate it and somehow curve it. I only know how to do the rotation but not the rest.
I am linking an example file with the airplane as the background and the logo as a separate layer.

I need a swarm of butterflies flapping their wings. The butterflies needs to have motion blur in the direction they move. In addition the wings will also have their own motion blur in the direction they are flapping.
I have animated and linked the wings to the body of the butterfly. I then used a particle flow system with instance geometry and a path follow, to make the swam to follow a path. Everything's fine.
However, I need to have proper motion blur on the wings as they flap. Instead they inherit the direction of the body they are attached to. Is it possible to give them each their own respective motion blur?
'm putting together a portfolio of photographs for all my cousins for my grandmothers 80th birthday.I have a photo here where I want to clear the wing mirror so that it is blank, but still looks like a mirror.This is the photo I would like to edit;I need to get rid of the detail in the mirror, but keep it looking like a mirror.
View 7 Replies View RelatedThis sheet metal part has two bends, and was created with a lofted flange feature on the XY plane:
It was then cut by two circular profiles on the XZ plane:
When the flat pattern is created, it seems to work just fine as long as the diameter of the circular cut is below a certain value. Once the diameter is increased beyond this value, the flat pattern returns a cryptic error and does not compute:
I know that the bend geometry does NOT pass through the bend axis, so I am left guessing at what the real problem is. I have attached the part. The part currently has the parameter called "Tank_ID" set to 500 in. To see the error, change the value of this parameter to 600 in. For me, the flat pattern breaks between the values of 512 and 513 in.
Why does the flat pattern work at 512, but not at 513, since there is no significant difference in geometry?
1 - how do I put this texture on the wing, without copying and pasting?
2 - how to make the gradient smooth face?
What parameters use?
I'm trying to find out whether I can create custom frame generator profiles in IV2014. Any solutions that I've come across aren't viable (referencing files that don't exist on my machine etc).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am practicing modelling 3D sweeps using an intersection curve, and tried to insert a swept cut on the attached model, but the ends are not circular. I assume this is because the plane which I drew the sweep profile on is not on the top face. Is there an easy way to rectify this and create the semicircular channel in the ends?

Now I am done with project "A" and I am moving onto a new project we are going to call project "B". In this new project "B" I setup all my libraries as I would normally do, but once I start creating frames, I do not see any of the custom frame profile from my past project "A" even though I added my libraries, which are identical from project "A" to "B".
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe use mandatory roaming profiles for our students and have done for some 14 years with all previous versions of our Autodesk products.
Now Inventor 2014 Pro (running on Windows 7 SP1 x64) will not open with a mandatory profile applied all I get is the new "Send AutoDesk your error box" Remove the mandatory profile and let the user create a local profile from the same default profile used to create the mandatory profile, Inventor works. The only clue I get to what might be happening is in the infocenter.log (within the Appdata section of the profile) where it states that the inventor.xml is not found. Without the mandatory applied the log is clear and the inventor.xml exists in the same folder.
I made a sketch. In order to make a hole in the middle of the "triangle", I had to create a tangent circle based on the triangle edges. And then make a new circle (to be the hole I need) and constrain it to the first tangent circle.
This way, if I change the size of the triangle, the hole I need (the inner one) will always stay in the middle of the triangle.
Anyway, when I try to extrude the different profiles of my sketch, something strange happens. As soon as I select the middle circle (not the inner one), 2 of the side outbreak's lose their extrusion.
Second question I have is why did my sketch (except for 2 blue lines) turn from blue to green after fixing loop problems?
(Screenshot’s and sketch file are included.)
Inventor 2013: It seems that in this version, selecting profiles for extrusion is buggy. I have many times now (sketches based on either projected geometry, new sketches with all rectangles drawn, all lines, or rectangle with offset. ) been unable to choose the profile I wish. It seems there is some sort of Island detection (or lack of it) See attached. I wish to extrude the center rectangle only, but can not...
Every time I end up with either retracing the outlines or create another sketch on top of the complete extrusion and then subtract.

I want to sweep a I-beam along a 3d sketch to create a conveyor. I will be using different shapes at times so the profile won't always have the same shape, sometimes a small I-beam or a large one or possibly square tubing.
I know I can create the profile and dimension it but is there an easy way to import the profiles from Frame Generator into the sketch or another way without having to create and dimension the sketch? Or is this one of those tasks you just can't avoid?
I have more of a geometry question, rather than CAD question. I need to determine the size of a spar hole for an airplane wing. The wing will be cut out of foam with a hot wire. There is a round spar hole in the wing that runs from the root to the tip on each wing half. A carbon fiber rod goes through it. Seems easy, but the wing is swept back 35 degrees, so round hole will actually be an ellipse is when it exits the root and tip. The hole needs to be 5mm. The ellipse will be 5mm tall, but how do I figure out how wide?

View 5 Replies View RelatedDoes frame generator update placed components when the profile of a custom structural shape family changes?
Workflow:
1. Create custom family in Frame Generator library.
2. Place instances in a frame generated assembly.
3. Make a profile change to the base shape and update the library using "Replace Family Template"
4. Open assembly with placed components and select Design > Frame > Refresh.
The profiles of already placed components do not update. Existing parts are unchanged even though any new parts placed from the family receive the new profile.
Under our previous workflow using derived parts, we created sketch files and saved them in a profile folder. Then all lineal lengths derived their base sketch from those profile .ipt files. When the sketch changed in the base .ipt, all the files derived from it updated. I am trying to replicate / improve this workflow using Frame Generator, but it doesn't seem to work.
Am I doing something incorrectly? Or does Frame Generator not support automatically updating existing frames when the profile of the family template changes?
I'm just wondering is there a possibility to select all closed profiles from a sketch to make an extrusion or revolve with a shortkey instead doing that manually with the mouse for each profile? Something like CTRL+A

After cloning the computers, if I log in using a profile that was there before, I can access the content service but when a student logs in, nothing happen when trying to access it. I looked for the .exe.config files in the Inventor bin directory but could not find anything related to the computer name. The structure is different in this version.

This has happened on lots of content center parts. There has been a few issues where this has happened with some of our downloaded user content (in our custom content center) even to the point of disappearing entirely.
This has happened across multiple (identical) machines. However, it doesn't seem to be reproducible on demand.

tried to author notch profiles in the structural members for 2011?
The what's new states:
>Publish Notch Profiles
>The Notch command is enhanced so that you can define and reuse frame cross-sections. This is particularly >useful when you need a minimal gap between two connected frames.
>You can sketch a notch profile, extrude it, convert it to an iPart, and author and publish the iPart to Content >Center. Then you can apply the notch to cut another frame during the Notch process.
I can't sem to get a Half Section View through extruded Content Center parts such as channels, pipes etc.?

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.
Why does this code fragment not work? (Within an active part sketch, with some sketched geometry.)
I'm just trying to close the loops to have valid extrusion profiles.

Trying to find ICC Profiles. I am a college student going for my BS in Photography. Our assignment is to take photo paper from three different manufactures and download the ICC Profiles for each of our papers chosen. Let me tell you this is not as easy as it seems! Where I can find the profiles for Adobe PS for different types of photo paper. Each manufacture only gives the ICC profile for their products. No scanned profiles are available.
