AutoCAD Inventor :: Cut Angle Section Out Of Circular Hollow Tube?
Dec 5, 2012
I have a small section of hollow tube as an IV part which I need to cut to at one end to produce a tapered effect. Attached is a mark up of what I am trying to achieve with the hollow tube.

I need to divide a bridge deck section (sort of trapezoidal shape with circular hollow section inside) but I need to keep the centroid level of each section to be at the same height. is there any simple way of doing it using Autocad 2014?

I have a solid bar which has a diameter equal to the nternal dimensions of a SHS. I am trying to create a weld, basically to fill the gap with a weld. I tried a similar arrangement with a Circular Hollow Section and it worked perfectly. I have tried fillet and groove for the SHS but it will not accept it.

I have a custom elbow that has an angle of 89° in the tube and pipe author dialog but I cannot select it in the tube and pipe style in the "elbow custom" field where the filter properties are 45° to 90°. I can select it as the standard elbow though where the filter properties are 90° to 90°. This doesn't make any sense. All the other filter properties (grayed out) are the same.

What is the best way to create a workplane at a given angle on the surface of the tube. Imagine the workplane long and thin running along the surface of the tube. The angle will be a parameter (from a sketch or user).
I'd like the workplane to always be on the surface of the tube, even when the diameter of the tube (from a dimension in a sketch) changes.I'm thinking that a (angled) line in the same sketch as the two circles (which define the tube diameter and thickness) would be a good starting point.

I did a course a few months ago and the teacher said something about how you can draw a solid and tell it to convert it to RHS (for example) by clicking on the edge and using a tool. I can't quite remember it, and can't find the tool to use either- very frustrating. I hope this makes sense- if it doesn't I'll try more of an example.
Extrude a profile to be a 1m2 cube. Identify that the four top edges and four vertical edges are 25mm RHS and this new object becomes the base and legs to a really simple, boring table. If that doesn't make sense I'll have to try again.

I am setting up a family of parts that consist of a round disc with a fixed OD and a circular pattern of notches cut into the OD. The notches must go to a certain depth from the center, so those parameters are set. My problem is that I need to control the amount of material left between the notches, along the OD, after the pattern is done. Given the fixed parameters of the major OD, minor OD (3.5" in this case) and number of notches, the only way to control the amount of material between notches is to change the angle. When I set up the sketch to do the notches, I can only get a fully constrained sketch if I assign a specific angle to the notch. I need to be able to set it up so that the angle of the notch varies so the end result is a specifc amount of material left after the circular patter is completed.
In the attached PDF, I show what I have done so far. In this case the OD of the part is 4" and the diameter of the notch at it's closest to the center is 3.5". So basically, I end up with a driven parameter of 0.443. If I assign this value the parameter of d14, I need to make it equal to a ratio of another parameter (let's call it d15) so that d14 = d15*2.. This can only be accomplished by changing the angle.
In my family, the major OD and minor OD remain the same, but the angle must change to retain a specific amount of material between the notches when the number of notches is increased or decreased.
Is there an iLogic rule I can write to control this?

I am trying to make a Dynamic block for Circular Hollow Sections. So i have a block properties table with 3 columns.
SIze (description) | Outer Diameter | Thickness
i can add a diameter constraint to the OD no problem but how can i add a thickness constraint? i cant pick say a linear or horiz between the quadrants of each circle it does not let you.
Now clearly i could convert all my tabular data to Inner Diameter instead of Thickness but i was looking to see if there is a way i can do it like described?
Also - i think i could also do this with an equation in Parameters Manager but for some reason that does not open, every time i click it the dialog does not display nor does it show anything at command line, i know this means its maybe corrupt but i can afford the time to reinstall just now.

How can I make a circular brick object (using a tube)? I tried the same method as making the arch in the tutorial that comes with 3Ds Max Design (make a spline in the center and then use spine unwrap) but it comes out all warped.

I have a question about calculating the maximum tube length. Why do i ask this, because you can just measure it on drawing?
I'm building a parametric model for building simple storage tanks, and the goal is to get a complete BOM out of the model without any difficulties.
I have 4 possibilities of tube positioning on the tank. (see image)
1. A tube that stands in the center of the axis of the main tank.
2. A tube that stands in the center of the axis of the main tank, but under an angle
3. A tube that doesn't stand in the center of the axis of the main tank.
4. A tube that doesn't stand in the center of the axis of the main tank, but under an angle
These 4 possibilities can be flush with the inside of the tank or not.
Is there a easy way to determinate the longest point from the front of the tube? This longest measurement will be the length i need to get into my description for the BOM.

How do I repair a tubing constraint?
I use tubing in inventor, I always attached tube to whatever fittings I am using and everything is fine but if something gets moved that the end of the tube loses its contraint I'm ready to jump off a cliff!
Is there any way to get the end of the 3D sketch contrained to the fitting again?
Up until now I have always had to deleted the route and started over. Inventor Pro 2014

I have a cube and I want to create a section plane that goes trough the middle of 3 edges that have a common point. After this I should be able to erase the smaller solid and keep the bigger one. If needed I will attach an image to be better understood.

I have used a driven contraint in a sketch.
Can that also be done in an assembly?
In one assembly I want to make one angle half of a driven angle.

Just learning 2D CAD and trying to draw a cross section of a timber winder stairs as the strings change angle (I think) at the winder section. Looking at 3nr winding steps.
Setting out a standard stairs is okay, so I have the floor to floor height.

I have created the model in the picture in AutoCad, but I do not know how to create it in Inventor. In Inventor I Know how to extrude and draw 2d/3d sketches, but this simple model it is impossible to me.
It is a simple 3D part, no sheet metal or pipe. It is an structure. I have copied it sliced to make more clear the geometry that I am looking for create.

I have turbine rotor blade designed as per the aerodynamic considerations. The profile i obtained from the company is completely solid, I would like to make it hollow with a wall thickess of 5 mm. I tried if with the Shell feature of Inventor, and Since the profile of the blade is in different planes twisted in different angles, the Shell is not working very well. I have tried it with loft with different cross sections, but i am not getting a completely accurate profile. Is there any tool which automatically recognises the outside profile and will make the Inside hollow also in Inventor?

I'm trying to create a model of a Golf club head. I need it to be hollow but I am unable to do this using the shell operation or by creating a surface and thickening the faces. I created the geometry by lofting a series of sketches. I think the nature of the geometry may be causing the problem.

FEA of a hollow metal ball.
The case is-
1. hollow steel metal ball OD 200mm, ID 190mm
2. Outside surrounding uniform pressure 10 MPa.
3. The ball is floating in a kind of liquid, so the gravity is neglected.
How to run FEA on this ball? How to add fixed constraints.

Regarding a building footprint that is long from south to north and then about 2/3s (two thirds) of the length the footprints turns 45 degrees to the left (making this angle the 135 degree angle of AutoCAD), then I want to create a long Building Section parallel to the building footprint with the bottom 2/3 of the section from south to north and then the last 1/3 of that building section turned 45 degrees to agree with the 1/3 angle of that part of the building.
