AutoCAD 2013 :: Using Helix To Make Thread And Matching Bolt?

Apr 8, 2012

I have a helix I've made, and I want to turn it into a thread in a hole I've already made. 

I'd also like to make a matching bolt to fit the said thread. Keep in mind my thread speficics are not importan this is all merely for a proof of concept. 

I do know know if auto cad offer a say to make a bolt and so on w/o too much work -but I've attached the said file and the helix I'm concerned with is in the "threads" layer.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Hole And Thread Dialog Box Show Different Thread Types

Oct 4, 2012

I'd like to use an "NPT" Hole Dialog thread but it doesn't show up in the Thread type list.But it does show up in the Thread Dialog/Specifications Tab/ Thread type list so it's available.

 I definitely have "NPT" in my Thread.xls & I have my Options/Files set to point to the correct Design Data folder.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Can't Thread Holes With Thread Tool

Mar 1, 2011

I can drill a hole as needed, but can't thread a hole at all. Not with the Tapped Hole function when drilling the hole, or after drilling the hole then using the Thread Tool. Inventor will just not let me create threads this way outside of cutting a coil.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Adding A Thread To The Thread.xls?

Jun 13, 2013

I am trying to add a thread class to the thread.xls. (that part is ok)

The thread is M26x2.0

I can't seem to find any information for me to simply plug in the values into the .xls, so I am thinking that I have to crunch some numbers. which is fine. I just want to make sure that this image below is the correct the reference for this task.

using the pitch, I should be able to calculate all my min and max values, but the xls has class column and a tap drill column, how would I determine these values??

AutoCAD Inventor :: Revolution Constraint For A Bolt

Jul 19, 2012

I've assembled a bolt and a slide block that is constrained to a base plate  and am able to put everything in motion.  I have the slide block constrained to slide the distance of the base plate and when I reach the end the bolt continues to rotate when, if this was a real part, should stop.  How can I get this bolt to stop once the slide block reaches its ending constraint?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Can't Get Bolt To Snap To IMate

Dec 10, 2012

I'm working on a project in wikiHelp under Inventor tutorials, Content Center, Create iMates. When I pull the object up in an assembly I can create an iMate and it will show that I  made one. But when i go to the next page (Place Content Manually Using iMates), I can't get the bolt to snap to the iMate inside the object, the bolt just stays in one position the whole time.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Add Bolt Holes To Frame

Dec 19, 2011

Current version INV 2012

1. When placing pumps,bolt-on walkways etc..etc..on to a metal frame at the assembly level do you place the pumps/walkways first and then add the bolt holes to the frame or do you create the bolt holes first in the frame and then place the pump/walkways on to the holes?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Bolt Lengths In Bolted Connections

Apr 11, 2013

When a bolted connection is used, the bolt changes in length as the stackup of hardware increases and decreases. I have noticed that if I do not grab the red arrow to adjust the length, the amount the bolt extends past the nut

seems to be only about 2 threads. What is the formula Inventor uses to determine this extended length?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Nut And Bolt Constrained To Allow / Show Motion?

Oct 16, 2013

I'm trying to constrain a length of ACME threaded rod to a nut so that when the rod is spun or threaded it shows it traveling into the nut as it will be grounded. I would like it to work as a driven assembly or if I was to turn or spin the rod by the mouse. I've reseached this for the last 2 days and can not spend any more time on it so time to ask the experts.

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2011 - FEA Bolt Head Simulation

Feb 18, 2011

I've been working with Inventor 2011 - Pro and have not had any success with utilizing a bolted connection (blind hole) in an FEA stress analysis. I have reviewed and one suggestion involved a using a bolt placed "as custom" instead of "as standard". It appears however that there is a default setting that I currently have which doesn't allow this as a selection.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Add Bolt From Content Center To Bolted Connections

Oct 11, 2013

In my work i normally use our standard full threaded rods with square nuts. But, since we make the rods and nuts in the factory, they do not follow any international standard.

I wanted to add the threaded rods to the Bolted Connection menu in order to be able to automaticaly add the rod and to let inventor calculate the needed lenght.

I was able to add the rod to content center as an Ipart with all available sizes, but it doesn't appear on the bolted connections menu.

See attached our normal bolted connection, how can I add this to bolted connection so inventor will size it automatically to the needed lenght?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Assembling Parts With Multiple Bolt Holes

Jan 6, 2012

I'm trying to assemble two parts, each of which has four matching bolt holes.So I do a "mate" between a hole on one and a hole on the other.  This works fine, and the parts now behave just like two parts bolted together with one bolt - one can be rotated relative to the other around the bolt hole. So there is one degree of freedom left to be constrained.

But the obvious ways to constrain that one last rotational constraint result in overconstraint. Trying a "mate" between the circles at the ends of the corresponding bolt holes breaks the first constraint, and the non-grounded object "jumps". Trying to auto-mate the two holes results in the holes being constrained as tangent, with the holes not lined up. I've tried constraining the center points of the end circles of the holes. That doesn't work right either.

Doing the second constraint as "tangent-inside" does work.  That's a 1 DOF constraint, which makes sense.It took me a while to figure that out. The help files aren't very useful when multiple constraints are involved.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Add Existing Bolt Size Or Retrieve It As An IPart?

Mar 15, 2013

I want to use a certain bolt from Content Center. Unfortunately, the particular size I want to use does not exist in the content center, but it does exist at one of our suppliers. How can I add this size to Content Center? 

Or, can I somehow check out this bolt as an iPart, and then I can modify it (add any size I want, or even make it custom) according to my will?I am using Inventor 2013

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Content Centre Bolt Description?

Dec 12, 2012

I want to change the description of a bolt to be "M(bolt size) bolt. then add the length in another column. example M10 bolt.

I want to know if it is possible to do this using the Family Properties & changing the "Family Description" to something like M=<NND> BOLT. i have tried but had no luck as it only comes back with "M Bolt" & no diameter 

Any other way to make it populate a BOM easily.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Stress Analysis On Bolt In Single Shear

Feb 4, 2013

The problem is simply reconciling stress analysis results with hand calculations and I suspect I'm simply setting up constraints incorrectly or something.

A simple problem of an M6 bolt in single shear as in the image below. I am using the formula in image to calculate the shear stress. The diameter (being an M6 bolt) is 6mm and hence radius is 3mm with a shear force of 1000 N being used. Using the formula in the image below and the figures above, I calculate the shear stress in the bolt to be 35.4 MN/m^2 or 35.4 MPa if you prefer.

My problem is that when I simulate this problem in Inventor 2013 stress analysis the results (for any kind of stress analysis; Von Mises, 1st and 3rd principal, all the planes etc...) are way way off what the hand calculation is, ranging from 160 MPa to around 800 MPa.how to set this example up in Inventor correctly so that you get the same (or near enough) result.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Bolt Connection And Hole Location Update

Nov 3, 2007

I have a frame member and a plate bolted together using the bolt connection feature. I moved the frame member slightly and while the bolt and nut moved the hole in the plate did not. Do I have to redo the connection when I adjust the position of parts to get the hole to stay in line with the bolt?
