AutoCAD 2013 :: 40 Foot Opening Double Rolling Chain Link Fence Detail?
Jan 7, 2014Looking to see if any out there has a "Double Rolling Chain Link Fence Detail for opennings greater than 25 feet" who does not mind sharing. Although I have seen a double cantelever sliding gate of geater openning width, Of all my years in the building modelling field I had never seen a detail, or an actual gate for that matter. This is for a regular galvanized chain link fence construction. My search online has been fruitless.

Maya Animation :: Bicycle Type Chain Animation?
Dec 22, 2010For some scenes we have a chain which is wrapped around several cogs, just like a bicycle. In this scenario we need the chain links to follow the path and retain their relationship to each other.
In other scenes we have a chain which follows along a changing path. Imagine this if you can: A heavy weight has a chain attached which goes vertically up, over a pulley and down the other side where it is attached to a lorry. The lorry drives off pulling the weight upwards. This is my challenge!
Should I individually constrain the links using a Pin constraint and use dynamics completely to keep the chain taught?
3ds Max :: Make A Roller Chain Animation
Jun 13, 2012I am attempting to make a roller chain animation. what would be the best method? I have found a fairly good method of creating the chain using array in Inventor then importing it into max as the assembly arrangement needed . Can I just have all of the links follow a path?

Jun 24, 2013I have a simple character with two a leg. The IK chain goes from the top bone to the bottom nub. When I move the ik helper around, the knee does not bend, even though there is a joint for it. Instead the leg rotates only at the top.

3ds Max Animation :: Locking Bones In IK Chain?
May 4, 2011I am working with a rig that has arms and legs in which the upper and lower sections (Thigh, Shin, Upper Arm, Forearm) are composed of chains of bones in and of themselves. I have included a screen shot to show a simplified example of what I mean.
When working FK, of course, this is no problem at all, but sometimes I'd like to be able to use IK solvers to make placement tasks easier. Unfortunately, applying an IK solver means the bones forming the upper and lower parts of the limb also bend as the limb bends. In the screenshot, the bones on the left are an example of what sort of limb I am dealing with, the bones in the middle show the effect of using an IK solver (note the bend in the upper and lower leg) and the bones on the right show what I would like to achieve using IK.
So, is there any way to lock the motion of those bones composing the upper and lower parts of the limb so they won't bend as part of an IK chain? I'm using Max 2010 by the way.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Display Pitch Diameter On External Thread
Oct 12, 2013When we make an external threaded part, like a stud or something, I'd like to save my lathe guys some time looking things up by showing the pitch diameters on the thread callouts.
I've looked through some posts on this and it doesn't seem like there's an easy way to do it in an automated fashion, even though the data is in the Thread.xls file. I'd really like to not have to look it up to make every print.
First, I thought I'd just use the "Custom Thread Designation" field, but as soon as I changed it in the XLS file, I kept getting alerts in Inventor saying that there was an error in the thread family because the callout applied to multiple fit classes or something like that. So that didn't work out very well. So....
1. Is there a way to do this?
2. What is the point of the "custom thread designation" infrastructure? Am I not using it correctly?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Variable Pitch Helix By Equation Curve
Jun 20, 2012You can create a variable pitch helix by using the Equation Curve feature introduced in Inventor 2013.
Create a new 3D Sketch. Start the Equation Curve command.
Here are equations that I use to create helical curves. Many other variations exist.
Cartesian coordinates:
x(t) = radius * sin(360 * num_turns * t)
y(t) = radius * cos(360 * num_turns * t)
z(t) = height * t
[Code]....
When you sweep a profile along a helical path, use the plane normal sweep (instead of perpendicular sweep) to orient profiles suitable for coil or spring. In the example below, the sweep path is a constant radius, variable pitch helix.

However the links are not following the path they're supposed to - I can't attach that file right now.
Anything that I should do different from the video? I have been using inventor for a little while but I've never used the adaptive stetches or the functions thing ot a rectangular pattern that is not in the shape of a rectangle.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Roller Chain Generator Without A Closed Loop?
Dec 20, 2013I'm designing a lift truck with a "chain over" lift - the lift cylinder has a sprocket mounted on the end of the rod, and the chain is grounded on one side. The other end of the chain is mounted to a lifting carriage so that as the cylinder extends and pushes the sprocket up, the chain rolls over it and the carriage moves up (at twice the speed of the cylinder). This is nothing new - it's pretty much how every single fork truck in the world operates.
My question is this: can I use the roller chain generator to model this chain, or should I model the links and array them along a path? My thinking is that if I can use the chain generator, I should be able to animate the chain using Dynamic Simulation. But the chain generator seems to require a minimum of 2 sprockets in order to work - there's no way that I can see to have a "non-looped" chain or any way to just ground the end of the chain.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Healing Chain Centerline That Has Broken / 2012
Nov 1, 2011how to heal a chained centreline between a row of hole features?
Here is my current work practice...
I have a panel with a row of hole features, they are not an array as the pitch between holes typically varies.
I create a chain of centres along the row.
I copy the panel and drawing to make a similar part but I remove one of the holes from the middle of the row.
Now the chain centreline is broken, obviously missing a feature and I cannot find a way to heal the centreline unless I delete and recreate it.
There is also the switcharound too where I add a hole within the row.I typically have to do this for nearly 60 similar panels.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Attach Sliding Object To Roller Chain
Feb 11, 2013I've got a chain that runs between two sprockets. In between the sprockets is a slider that needs to be attached to the chain so that the rolling of the chain moves the slider back and forth.Right now the chain just runs straight through the slider, it isn't connected at all. I can't find any way to tell Inventor that this slider is connected to the chain.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Move Part Along Curve With Chain Drive In Assembly
Oct 4, 2012I have two set of chain drives connected to each other through a common axle. The motor (which is not visible in my assembly) drives the yellow sprocket.
The two sprockets mounted on the grey axle is attached with a key way so when the yellow sprocket turns, the two chain drives turns.
I want to attach the blue sled on the blue chain, the red sled on the red chain and then rotate the yellow sprocket so both of the sleds moves with their chains (at the same speed/ time).
The blue sled is going to move a rolled bar (the orange one) on the floor (glass square) a certain length and then the red sled is going to "take over" and continue to move the bar on the floor.
I want to make sure I´ve got the spacing between the sprockets in the short chain drive (red) correct so the red sled takes over when the blue sled disappears under the floor.
