AutoCAD Inventor :: Error Changing Material Of Frame Member
Oct 10, 2012
I'm with a problem here, that when i try to change a material from a frame member, i got the error below:
[WARNING] Frame Generator: Errors occurred while attempting to change frame member(s).
[WARNING] Problems occurred during changing Frame Member(s)
[ERROR] A change could not be completed. The reason for the failure is unknown. Please retry.
The structure that i'm trying to change, was created in IV 2012 SP1, and now I'm editing it in IV 2013.
All the pieces of this project were converted to the new version, and the only big difference from 2012 in this case i think that is the materials library, that I created a new one and set on project as default.
The strange, is that if I enter frame by frame and go to iProperties>Physicals, there i can change the material normally (but with a big wate of time ofc).

During some discussion with other uses of Inventor I was ask if I knew about a problem relating to Changing a member size in Frame Generator and the iProperties maintain the old members properties.
The basic problem is as follows:-You start with a simple frame, create all of the members save and then added to a drawing. The members frame come from the content centre which have been copied into a Custom Library to enable addition parameters to be added along with addition iproperties being automated such as DESCRIPTION.
Once the frame and associated members have been created and then save, if a user wants to change the size of the member inventor has to create a new part file and then inserts into the frame generator frame. However, I have found that if you review the iProperties of the new file the DESCRIPTION is the same as the one that was replace, however it was strange to see that the STOCKNUMBER and PART NUMBER was updated correctly. It seems to be only a problem with the DESCRIPTION property.

Frame members that are trimmed to work planes in the skeleton won't update when these planes are moved. This is not how it is supposed to work, right?

I have created a user parameter in a assembly, then creating a member with FG i use that parameter as member offset. The same with other members.
Changing from Parameters that parameter no update happen, I have tried rebuild all, refresh..no working. The only thing that works, is to use the "change" command , select my member(s) , change nothing, than ok.
Then it update.
Is it a software limit? A bug? An error in the workflow?

is there a way to reconnect a frame member to a other sketch line? Lets say i've altered my sketch and delete a line to which a member was referenced. I get the error when rebuild the assembly.
When click change and select the said member i cannot select a new sketch line..

I have a user that is creating frame work using custom members copied from the standard. We have edited the frame members to use the company's part numbers and description and everything works fine. The Parts List populates with the correct part number / stock number and description just fine. I have customized the Part List style to display the stock number if one is available so that it shows correctly.
The problem comes when changing the size of a frame member out. Frame Generator creates a new file for that member and the Parts List displays the correct Stock number but the description still shows the original size's description not the one associated to the new member's size.
I haven't tried it but I am sure that deleting the Parts List and reinserting might fix the problem but there are other lines in the Parts List that have Static overrides and the user would have to redo all that. Why does the PN/Stock Number update correctly but the Description does not?

I have created a frame using the frame creator with all the individual members listed in the frature manager. When I check this into the vault it goes in fine.
When I create a second frame (seperate frame file) it uses one or two of the same fram types as the first frame. The problem comes when I go to check this into the vault it says the member already exists.
I have been told and I am seeing it that the frame creator always starts with "001" and numbers downward in creating the member names. This creates a problem in the vault because of the duplicate file factor.
What I ended up doing was calling up that particular member and doing a file save as then replacing it in the assembly. Then it would check in fine.
Is this the only work around or is there a setting somewhere that allows unique names for these frame members.

I have created a few new structural parts that I am in the process of publishing to the content center.
I got one of them in and have it working very well except for one item. If I place this structural piece into an assembly as a stand alone part just selecting the length and the material as the key inputs, it shows the proper length in the part number and the description just fine. If I insert this same structural piece in a skeleton using the frame generator, then the length that shows up in the description is the default one that the part was originally created to. How do I get the length to show up in the frame BOM correctly when parts are created using the frame generator?
This works using the structural members out of the box.

I created a template part, turned it into an I-part and published it successfully as a Frame Member.
The custom member was published into a custom library that is read/write. I was forced to create this library in order to publish the part.
When I go to use the custom profile with the frame generator, I am able to find the custom member in the dialog but when the frame generator tries to generate the part, I get this error message:
[WARNING] Frame Generator: Errors occurred during inserting Frame Member(s)
[WARNING] Insertion of frame member(s) failed
[ERROR] A frame member could not be created. The template file for Unnamed GIRT-2 could not be located in the Content Center library.

In Inventor 2013 it was easily to switch in a drawing view between different iPart members. Through Edit view => Tab Model State and then it was possible to switch between different iPart members. So it was easy to make a copy in the Vault from only the dwg (from a iPart member) and then change the iPart member. Now in Inventor 2014 it is not possible anymore.

I have problems with material appearance in the frame generator. I have created a new material 316 stainless steel and assigned a specific colour to it. I have now decided to change that colour but it only changes when I change the material in iProperties of the part. I still get the old colour when I use the frame generator to change the material. The only way to change the colour of my material is thru the appearance tab in the frame generator pop up window.

Is there a way to set the default material in Frame Generator? I have a custom library for Content Center so I can modify that if needed. I would like structural members to default to ASTM A36 for example.

I made a new rows in family table of my custom library, because use various material for beam. (By means Material Guide) Everything is working properly, but not in environment of Frame Generator.
When I insert some beam with first material, everything is OK.
Then I insert the same beam, but with other material, FG respect this my selection, but for mass calculation he use generic material with density 1g/ccm. In Parts List I can see for example stainless steel AISI 304 - it is correct, but mass is incorrect.

I am trying to run a Frame analysis on a beam structure. I wanted a specific yield stress for the components that make up the beam. So I created a new material and changed the yield stress and change my beam components to that new material. However when I run the simulation the yield stress is not what I made it. Is this allowed?

I know that the material list you get inside of the frame generator comes from CC, but is there a way to add other types of frame styles to the generator?
What I have is we need to create some Uni strut frames and this material is not in the frame generator and I would like it to be for the functionality that this tool brings.

I want to link the thickness of the material used for a steel structure of to the offset of another steel structure that attaches to that it. I want to be able to change the size and material used for the frame and not have to continually change the offset of the piece attached to it. Is there a way to lind the thickness of one bar to the offset of another?

I'm writing some code to create various structural members, but I also need to add the texture map. Since it is doing the creation via VL, I need a way to add a material without that darn dialog box. Can material be add to a member programaticlly?

how Inventor Materials are used in your companies, what is your customization level and usage level.Do you use Inventor Materials as they come out of the box ?Do you create your own materials?
Do you modify the properties of existing Inventor materials without changing the material name?Do you show material names on 2D drawings (in parts list etc)?

I want to change the material of a sheet metal part using inventor api.I tried something like code
Dim partDoc As PartDocument partDoc = inventorApp.Documents.Open(FilePath & filename, False) If partDoc.SubType = "{9C464203-9BAE-11D3-8BAD-0060B0CE6BB4}" Then Dim smDef As SheetMetalComponentDefinition smDef = partDoc.ComponentDefinition Dim style As SheetMetalStyle style = smDef.SheetMetalStyles.Item("sheetMetalRule")
But I can't get the code for material change.

I have made a simple rectangular frame made of structural angles. I need the 4 corners to be mitered and to be able to change the dimensions of the frame, so I used frame generator.
I need a pattern of small clips welded to the inside face the frame. I did this by mating the back face of the clips to the inside face of the angles. This worked fine for resizing the frame itself, but when I changed the members to a different size, I lost the constrants holding the clips in place.
Is there a better way to attach the clips so that they will stay intact when switching frame members?

At my company we have a custom CC library with custom profiles for use in frage generator. We are having a problem with one of the frames. Everything goes well when the profiles is inserted.
But when I try to "trim to frame" the intersections of two profiles, it does not trim them correctly. It trims them in a 45 degree angle. As you can see on the attached jpg file.I tried everything. Checked the sketch, deleted the profile, republished the part.

I am having performance problems with constraining a FG assembly. I have a simple frame, (cube form). When I am trying to constrain some brakets to the frame (or anything else) and click apply, Inventor freezes and I have to wait about 2 mins.
The same when I try to insert new frame members

I keep getting Instability of node errors in my Frame Generator. Specifically type 3 at node 62 in direction RY. I am new to FG results seem reasonable just can't get past this error. I tried deleting the member and inserting a new one in its place. The error then goes to another node?
The application is a steel box frame being lifted by a crane, FWIW. when you create special parts for FG and post them from Iparts, where do they go? I need to go back in and alter some properties.
