How are complex shapes created in Inventor.I have started a propeller but at this point am only able to do the hub. How to create the propeller blades. Is this modelling for this shape done with surface modelling or can it be created with solid modelling technique?

I am trying to get the rectangle pattern to form 8 blades of the same shape and height across the barrel.A picture shows how the height is lost within the barrel..The only blade which is the same height is the 2 outside blades
Is the rectangle the right tool to produce the result?
I am working on making a jet engine. Best way to make jet engine fan blades? so many curves in different directions. I have tried to make contour with polyline, but no luck getting a surface.

I'd like the rotation to start slow for about a second and then ramp up to full speed for the remainder of the clip. Is there a way to apply post infinity to selected ranges of frames, or is there a different method for achieving that effect?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am looking for ways to draw the rolling of blades or slats around an axe for Aluminum Roller Shutters. The path of the rolling is an hellix, rolling around a 70 mm octogonal reel then continue downward in a downward movement.
I have attached some pics from Catalogues and Guides where such have been drawn.
I have tried a few things and can't get mine to look like these.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy model has turbine engines complete with blades.
After attaching the engine to the rest of the model, I tried to animate the blades using Cycles, however, because the engine itself is attached with a 15-20º incline, the blades do not rotate around -360 properly. The illustration below shows the blades at the -89º mark.
How do I reset the pivot point for the Rotate Tool, or at least compensate for the offset pivot?

With the multiple views when I go to create a pdf it says it needs to update the views and proceeds in excess of 4hrs to do 1/6 views.
Is there anyway to speed up this process? possibly use other computers that aren't being used on the network to share their resources? (Is this a possibility like in 3ds Max?)

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm drawing a blank, how do I connect a UCS to the existing Origin of a part. I can select the Centre Point to attach the UCS to , but I have nothing the align the X & Y axis to (X Axis and Y Axis in the Origin folder are not selectable)
If I try to add a UCS to a blank part, the ONLY thing I can select is the Centre Point, but the UCS requires 3 inputs!
I tried unsuccessfully to create a lip around a curve surface and there is no flat plane to select for the sketch. Wonder if this could be done in Inventor. My version is 2011.

Is there a way to create a prompt(length, width, Diameter etc.) so when you open the .ipt it pops up? Anything a little more organized than the parameters box? I've done an excel sheet in the past for certain things, but didn't want to carry and excel sheet over for this option.

View 9 Replies View RelatedTrying to create a 3D sweep. I want to keep the sweep parallel to the XZ plane (like a parting surface). In the attached part, there is a SweepSrf3 that has sort of what I am trying to do, but it does not go all the way around the path. Notice how the sweep is parallel to the plane. I tried to do the same thing in SweepSrf4, by selecting the 3D Sketch1 as the path, Sketch2 as the profile, and Workplane2 as the Guide Surface. That failed.
In SweepSrf4, the only way that I could get the sweep to come close to working was to use the 3D Sketch1 as the guide rail and the circle as the Path. Seems like I need to use the circle as the guide rail and the 3D Sketch1 as the path to get what I want... but that fails.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a rib from the sketch shown. Before I go to support with this, how to make it work or why it won't? I think Inventor just isn't up to it. If I add perpendicular lines to the endpoints of the line shown, it'll make rib, but the rib isn't right - i.e. it doesn't maintain tangency the way it should. I'd rather not have to go through and surface it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to research how to create a custom surface. I found this article [URL]...... about how to to create a surface from a jpeg. The article says to "expand color on the top left." of the style editor. However, when I open the dialogue there is no "color" that can be expanded. The only thing in the top left of dialogue box is "lighting." Is there another step that the article misses, or is there another way for me to create a surface from a jpeg?

I created a link of the chain (pic attached) and I am following this video to repeat it as a rectangular pattern : [URL]....
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.
