AutoCAD Inventor :: Holes / Screws On A Rolled Plate?

Jul 17, 2013

I'm modeling a band that will be screwed onto the inside of a sheet metal cylinder. The band will be rolled to the ID of the cylinder. I'm trying to model the holes in the band, and place screws into the holes. I'm not sure yet how the holes will be machined out in the shop--whether they'll be drilled or punched, made before or after the band is rolled, placed based upon degree or arc length, etc.

1. Is there a better way to model the band and its holes?

2. How can I properly and easily insert the bolt into the holes since they're no longer "perfect holes" that can be used in an "Insert" constraint.

3. How can I then pattern the bolt so I don't have to insert one into each hole?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Add Two Holes To Ground Plate Only And Not Other

Sep 9, 2012

I seem to have made what many might consider a rookie mistake. Built a fairly complex structure for an overhead crane system and get to the end to find that I missed two holes. The problem with these two holes is it is ONLY 1 plate (my grounded part), but I have used this same part in one other instance. So if I edit (even from within assembly) and add the two holes to the grounded plate it creates them in the other plate, which I dont want.

Since I have the second plate being used as a refence to locate MANY other parts on this unit, it would be quite difficult to replace it with a new part (same but different file name).

Any way to add said two holes to the grounded plate only and not the other?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sheet Metal - Rolled Cylinder With Folded Tabs At End Faces?

Oct 2, 2012

I am trying to use the sheet metal functionality to generate a flat pattern of insulation that is wrapped around a tank.  The insulation essentially consists of a rolled cylinder with tabs at the cylinder ends that are to be folded inward to cover the end plates.  I can't seem to find a way to make this happen as every time I am able to generate the tabs in the folded model they don't unfold into the flat pattern.

I am using Inventor 2010.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Find Wood Screws To Use In One Of Assemblies

Jun 16, 2006

I am attempting to find wood screws for use in one of the assemblies I am working on.

I have logged onto the Content Center as one possible resource. Is there any kind of search engine to look for parts? I can't imagine having to go through each manufacturer looking for something particlular like fasteners.

Besides Content Center, any resource for wood screws. I have looked in Grainger, McMaster Carr, PartSpec... and others. All with no success.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sheet Metal From Flat Sheet To Rolled Part?

Sep 12, 2013

A collegue asked me about this as he has been given a part to model and the details are for the flat sheet not the finished model. Is this possible in 'sheet metal'? I had a quick play but couldn't work it out. Im used to creating the finished part and 'un-folding' to get the flat pattern.Detail supplied below.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Multiple Bends In Plate

Sep 26, 2012

I have attached a pic of what I am trying to accomplish.

The part was done in SW, but I am now needing to do it in Inventor.

I have a flat plate, 12" square, that I am needing to bend the 2 corners up, with 10 1/2" between bend lines.

I tried using the "BEND PART", but I can only select one line. What should I use so I can bend all four sides up?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Place Pattern Feature Onto Plate?

Jan 17, 2010

I have attached a jpeg file of a Plate out of a heat exchange.It shows half of the Plate but it is identical shape for top and bottom.I am able to create the solid shape but i need creating the numerous patterns onto the plate.How would i place the pattern feature onto the Plate?

Also from the picture there is a gasket.Would this be made as a separate part and placed on the Plate in a assembly file?Would the gasket be best made using sweep function?

I have created the plate as a solid model but would Sheet Metal also work or even be a better choice?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Constraining A Plate Via Sketch Lines

Mar 29, 2013

I have an oddly shaped flat plate extruded from a sketch, the sketch of which has lots on constructions lines, none of which actually represent solid edges of the plate. However, I want to locate the plate to other components via the geometry defined in the sketch. 

I find that when I am trying to constrain the plate to other parts none of the sketch geometry is available to me. Points, lines, construction lines, circles; I can select none of it when constraining. I am confused. How can I constrain such a part?

Just to clarify - the flat plate is the base of a structure. Its profile is decoratively shaped, so nothing about the cut edge of the plate is suitable for constraining to. I need to constrain off geometry defined in the sketch.

I have "Shared" the sketch.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Dimension Counter Bores On Both Sides Of A Plate

May 9, 2013

Any way to show clearly that there are counter bores on both sides of a plate.  It does show the dotted lines for when it is on the down side of the plate, but in some sections i have a counter bore of the  same diameter on both sides of the plate.  Is my best bet just to to create two drawings of the upper and lower faces?

Also i've been trying to use the hole tables, something thats new to me, and i can get all the holes coming up, but im unable to get them to show up as actual counter bores, instead it shows up as two entries.

I am trying to learn how to carry out stress analysis within inventor and have applied what seemed logical to me, however when I got my results file it does not seem to add up.

I want to investigate the effect that a crack will have on a piece of steel plate, I have applied a fixed constraint to one side of the plate, and a load to the other side, as well as a separation contact on the sides of the crack (see file attached).

AutoCAD Inventor :: Cylindrical Object - Mirror Plate Placed At Right Angles

Sep 3, 2013

I have just created a cylindrical object with an extrusion length of 300 mm and then created an assy(.iam). On to this cylinder i have placed a plate at right angles to the axis of the cylinder

What i wish to do now is mirror this plate.

It would appear the best way would be to create a work plane(mirror plane) thro the centre

Of the cylinder,however, how can this be done if when requested to create the plane 3 points are required,am i missing something here.

Doing a bend on diamond plate. I have applied a texture map to the side of the plate that has the diamond pattern.  When the pattern gets in the corners (inside or outside), the texture map shifts.  When it does this, the diamond pattern does not look the way the real part will. Below is an image of what I am seeing.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Making Unfolded Parts For Plate Rolling - Parameters?

Feb 12, 2013

I have drawn a cylinder, with inside diameter 1028mm, wall thickness 5mm. We usually have calculated unfolded part length like this: outside dim. 1038mm - 5mm (wall thickness) = 1032 x 3,14 = 3240mm. Now when i unfold in inventor I get for the length 3215,35mm. It is quite far from the result we usually would have received.

Unfolded part will be rolled to cylinder. What parameters should be overlooked when making unfolded parts for plate rolling?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Get Bolted Connection To Pass Through A Component And Machined Plate

Nov 26, 2012

I have been working on a large assembly and I am trying to get a bolted connection to pass through a component and a machined plate.  I have been using the cocentric option to complete many other holes up to this point, but not through a machined surface.

When I attempt this, I get two errors saying:

Design Accelerator Doctor

1. Failed to add sketch for a hole

2. Failed to create a hole

My questions are:

Is there a way around this Or is this a problem that I am going to have to work around?

Or

Is there a better way to get a hole/bolt through this assembly?
