I attach my file.
I am drawing the hull of a plywood hard chine boat with Inventor.
Basically there are a number of boat stations that are drawn in as sketches on parallel and spaced planes. Stations are drawn as series of straight line segments representing the hard chine technique used for this particular boat.
The plank is created as a lofted surface passing through each corresponding straight line segment of all stations.Surface is then thickened and it becomes a sheet metal.
I am unable to unfold or better to create a flat pattern from the sheet metal. The program correctly complains about the lack of bends in the sheet metal: there are infacts no bends as the plank is a continuous curved surface of which I would like to obtain a flat template for CNC cutting.
I doubt the problem comes from compound twisting/stretching of the surface since the stations' geometry comes from an existing design of which several hundred plywood boats have actually been built.
I need to desiign a "rooster tail" effect for a boat designer's web site.
I guess I can best describe the vision of having a boat cruise across the intro page screen with the wave it creates behind it.
I have spent some time over the last few days attempting to create a boat hull by lofting sections along a line representing the center line of the hull, but I'm not having much luck. The shape that is created appears to be rotated some weird way, and I just can't seem to get a handle on what is going on. The section splines were created in the Front view, the path was created in the Top view. The section shapes were then placed in the Left view to correspond to their location along the hull.
My question is this: where can I find a tutorial that deals with boat hulls and lofting specifically, or failing that.
I'm trying to create a boat wake with Flex similar to Paul Neales example URL....But I'm still having trouble getting it to work.

I mean, modeling a part as multibody, i would like to insert a feature with an iFeature, but i would like too that that new feature will be a new body.
I have tried in many ways.. including inserting in the ifeature a Split Feature..but with no sucess.
Is possible create new Body (SolidBody) for iFeature? In VBA or .NET.
View 5 Replies View Relatedi used to use Solidwork's sweep-cut with a solid body feature but i can't find it in Inventor now.
Procedure:
In part file;
Create a second solid body (must be axis-symetric, like revolved feature),
Create a path that intersects with the solid (can be a line or a curve),
Sweep the solid along the path with cut command.
I need this where the sweep-cut with a profile is not enough, to get surfaces obtainable by milling on a cylindirical body on a helical path.
I have an insert that I'd like to split into several layers. Is it possible to do this with the split tool, or is it limited to only one "split tool" at a time?
In the picture, the wireframe is the 'insert', the letters indicative of cavities cut into the insert. The purple sketch lines would be typical of where the solid part would be split into multiple parts.

I'm trying to emboss a sketch to a lofted body. The same sketch is embossed perfectly on a flat/round/extruded/chambered body, but on this particular lofted body I get an error ("Thicken operation would result in a large topology change. Try with a smaller thickness"). I already tried with 0.01mm thickness and still not work. What could be the cause. (I'm using IV 2013)
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to get the mirrored hole to go all the way through both parts of the mirrored solid bodies.
I do realize that I can create the hole in a seperate feature, after the mirror. It will only let you select one 'solid' during the mirror command. Here is a simple .ipt to demonstrate the issue.
what this error means and what's causing it and how to fix it?
IV2010, editing a multi body part gives these errors:
1. No more memory available. Attempt to allocate 208 bytes of memory failed.
and
2. See attached.
This error is preventing me from saving or closing the program.
I'm making drawings of assemblies in Inventor 2012 and was wondering how to turn off the visibility of specific solid bodies within a single part containing multiple bodies, or make it match the visibility in the assembly and part file itself.
In particular my situation is that I have a camera whose part model includes a solid body for its view cone. The visibility of this solid is turned off, so when opening the camera itself, or the assembly containing it, it doesn't appear, but when I place that assembly or part in a drawing it's included, and the only way I've figured out to get rid of it is to turn the whole camera's visibility off within the drawing.
Whenever I place a view of a derived part (or an assembly containing derived parts) the body of that from which the part was derived is also displayed, even though when viewing the part or assembly file they are invisible. It is almost as if there is a "ghost" reference to the parent body of the derivation - surely there must be a way to turn this off?

[URL]...
Here comes the problem:
when i was changing the volume parameter, i recieved an error that this property was read-only.is it possible te use the volume calculation from inventor the calculate back to the diameter or height? ,and also for a solid body?
If so, what do i need to do? I am using inventor 2013 (basic).
Any way of forcing an update of the colour styles from the original Multi-Body part to the assembled/derived components.
I always control colours in the original Multi-body part as I can select groups in one go to change colours, this doesn’t filter down to the derived/assembly component I then have to go into each part and uncheck then recheck the 'Use color override from source component'.
I am aware of the reg file/vba to remove the source override completely but which works for certain ways of working / problems, but I want to control it from the original part which I assume was the way it was intended as it is the default option!

I am working on a multi body IPT and i would like to use some purchased valves and air cylinders in the design.Is it possible to put them into the IPT. I have downloaded the cad files and converted them to IPTs.
View 4 Replies View Relatedhow to set a custom parameter to be equal with a body volume, assuming I have a multibody part.
I have found how to assign total volume of the part to a parameter using iLogic rule.:
Total_Volume = iProperties.Volume
and that's it.
You can do it also for a component in an assembly , but can't see how to do it for a body...

Can i place a constarint that prevents it from rotating? there is no such possibility.
I can ground the part, but i don't like it since if there are modifications they might not be applied (i don't have experience in grounded parts)
Is it correct that the BOM will not show thumbnails for a multibody assembly until the component are dirtied? I initially get 'preview not available' for all parts in the assembly. Opening a part and (for example) moving the EOP back and forth will then cause the thumbnail to show in the BOM.
Is there any quick workaround or do I have to write a macro?
Is there a way to get that long tube and that rectangular part all around that middle circle.

Open this picture. In the end it would end up looking something like that lamp shade. I got one part down so is there a way to get a bunch of those around instead of redrawing it?
I am trying to draw a series of flow channel (in a row) in a rectangular parallelepiped.
So I sketched a rectangle -> extruded (cut) -> sketched another rectangle -> extruded -> sketched another rectangle inside of one of channel -> extruded, and finally made a flow channel like in attached file.
What I hope to know are :
(1) Is there a way to copy that flow channel? Or should I have to do same repeatedly for tens of flow channel?
(2) Is there a way to make a flow channel easily?
I am trying to convert this composite surface into a single solid body, however when I try to stich the surfaces in the construction environment it always crashes. I have also tried edditing the STEP file import options but it still always opens as a composite surface.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've created an assembly by using "Make Components" from a part comprised of solid bodies. If I suppress a feature in the "Control Part.ipt" (the part that holds all the solid bodies) it removed the part from the assembly, but it does not remove it from the BOM. What do I have to do to make the BOM follow what the assembly looks like?

I am currently building my library of equipment in Inventor.
I have now some how changed a solid body part into a sheet metal part.....
Is there a way to change it back?
I still don't know how to simulate the following :
My system is basically a clamping device that works with a cam and a metal plate. When loose, the metal plate remains straight :
When clamped, the metal plate bends like so :
As far as I know, the Dynamic Simulation Tool can work with rigid body parts and you later export the simulation to the FEM Tool. I thought I could use a spring-link that would behave like the metal plate but I must admit I don't know the relationship between the stiffness of a spring and the elasticity of a metal plate.
