AutoCAD Inventor :: Rotation - Translation Constraint On Threaded Features
Sep 30, 2013how to make this Clamp Rod to Clamp Base Spacer Turn relationship.
this is from the Clamp Project on this site: Inventor Wizard, The Clamp Lever is turning or rotating the clamp rod into the Clamp Base Spacer but I could not simulate the Thread or the Screw motion if that is the term, or the 1 or 1/2 turn of the Clamp Rod to 1 Pitch movement, plus I can't seem to put the Rod inside the Clamp Base Spacer hole when the Contact Solver is ON, maybe modeling issue on my part.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Rotation Translation - Get Circumference Of Wheel To Rotate 360 Degrees
Dec 23, 2013I have Autodesk inventor standard NOT the pro version. I am a Revit professional in dire need of learning Inventor. My exact steps are as follows:
1. Open assembly
2. create component - (simple wheel(cylinder) with an off axis hole in the middle so I can see if it is rotating.)
3. create component- flat surface.
4. constrain the cylinder to the flat surface via a tangent constraint
5. constrain the cylinder to the front edge of the flat surface via a mate constraint.
6. go to motion tab in constraint's, click rotation-translation, type in 10in for distance.
7.wheel does not rotate on surface like a wheel should. There is no affect of the surface on the wheel rotation.
In other words I want to get the circumference of the wheel to rotate 360 degrees as it travels pi*diameter of flat surface.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Translation And Rotation / Surveyors Are Staking With A DXF File
Sep 27, 2013Pt# 812 (From my drawing)
N: 2004294.63
E: 6057287.18
Pt# 715 (Stake point from a DXF file)
N: 254.39
E: 218.59
I built my drawing from the civils. I wanted to check the points that the surveyors are staking with a DXF file. As you can see from the above two points, our coordinates were wildly different. I brought the DXF file into my drawing as a block, and translated and rotated it to match my drawing. I had to drag it several miles, but no problem there.I imported the as-staked point file to a new group and dragged them up near my drawing, but the drawing was getting a bit crowded by then. So I made a block of all the imported points to make it easier to translate and rotate them to match my drawing and the overlayed DXF. After exploding the block of points, the points showed up in the new group. Anyhow, here's my questions:
1. How do you renumber(offset number) imported points? The option I saw was only for duplicate points. I wanted to offset them all.
2. How do you translate and rotate a large bunch of points without turning them into a block?
Maya Animation :: Rotation Of The Ball Into Direction Of Translation?
Sep 4, 2010I am animating a ball right now, that is rolling all over the place. Would be cool to animate just the translation of an object and not to worry about rotation. Is there a way? Like.. through the expressions or set driven key? Also would be even better if rotation speed increased as the movement speed did.

Jan 7, 2011My current goal is to specify the rotation and translation of an object using a text file full of numbers. I have been told that I should import a "move" file. However, I can't seem to find any kind of reference about the move file format or how to use it. I see in the import dialog box that there is a file type called "move" but I don't know how to format the data that I put into the "move" file.
Also, I tried to export a "move" file so I could take a look at what Maya generates, but I keep getting the error "// Error: Could not save file "C:/My Documents/maya/projects/body_in_ocean/scenes/examplemove.mov".
I created a group with my object in one file, referenced it in my working file, moved the group around and set some keys in the working file, but I can't seem to export any move data. How to get this to work?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Templates For Step Translation
Oct 27, 2011We have a minor issue with STEP translations. We keep our templates on the network, and they have a lot of customized settings. Everything is fine until we try to translate a STEP file, then Inventor wants to use the templates on the "C" drive (the ones that came with the software).
Is there a setting I can use to make Inventor use the templates on the network? I've got my "Files" setting in the "Options" pointing to the templates on the network, but Inventor still uses the ones on the "C" drive.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Model Of Translation Piece
Dec 5, 2013I am trying to model simple translation piece from rectangular to circle (one quarter). There is angle between rectangular side and circle side. I am able to model it very simple, but I have found that Inventor make some errors with lofted flange. Usually this type of translation piece should have flat triangles on the ends and bended triangles in corner. Unfortunately for some combinations of width/depth/diameter Inventor does not keep this rule and add some bended triangle to end edge.
Enclosed is pdf file with picture how this part should look, what is the problem and finally the ipt file is enclosed too. The part is OK with parameter SizeY=250mm and less and is wrong for bigger SizeY (for example 600mm)

AutoCAD Inventor :: Simulate A Crack In 2013
Jun 21, 2012Is is possible to simulate a part with a crack in inventor 2013? A customer had a part made and noticed there was a crack. We were asked to run an analysis on the crack to determine how much of a factor this crack has on the part. Is it simply just a matter of sketching the shape of the crack and removal of material or ??? The part is cylindrical in shape and the crack goes approximately 1/8 around the diameter of the part.

Mar 13, 2012I'm trying to simulate a sprag clutch using Autodesk Inventor Professional 2011 (student edition) but I'm having some trouble keeping two parts from rotating together.
The flange of the driving gear sits inside the clutch hub but the two should be free to rotate relative to each other. However, when I simulate the rotation of the gear, the clutch rotates with it as well. I can sort of simulate the desired behavior by adding a torque to the clutch but I don't think this should be necessary.
I can't attach the files because they're too large but I'm hosting them here: [URL]...... and here: [URL]........... The A4_Complete is the whole clutch, but for a simpler view A3 shows the issue I'm having.
Essentially Pink gear drives the Green gear, and the Orange clutch should slip on the grey flange of the green gear but it does not.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Adding Material Library Accessible In Simulate Mechanical
Jun 6, 2013How I can add materials to the Inventor material library. I have created and defined the material in Autodesk Simulate Mechanical and they are available in the material libraries in that program, but inaccessible in Inventor. It doubles my work load if i need to define the materials in both programs and also creates hassles if a change needs to be made to a single material.
The materials are currently saved in .mlb library files. Iventor requests a .asklib file for when trying to add a library.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Printing IDW To PDF Prompts Windows To Configure Navisworks Simulate?
May 17, 2013Since I updated to Inventor 2013, every time I try to print an idw as a pdf, it prompts Windows to configure Navisworks Simulate. Message says the feature is on a CD-ROM or removable disk that is not available. The odd thing is Navisworks Simulate is already on my computer as part of the Inventor 2013 installation. Should I reinsert the CD that has Navisworks on it? If I just keep hitting cancel it eventually gets to the pdf creator and everything works fine then.I am thinking of uninstalling the Navisworks.

Feb 25, 2013I am trying to simulate the path of ropes through pulleys/sheaves etc. It's a bit of a chicken-and-egg set up.
My workflow is the following:
Assemble and constrain geometry
Create plane in assembly than rope will run on.
Create in-place part (rope) with box ticked for "constrain to sketch plane" or the like, referencing above geometry.
Question 1: I see my in-place component is not constrained to referenced geometry, I can drag it around?
I then ground it or constrain to workpoints used as part of the original "project geometry".
I then alter the original geometry and...nothing!
Question 2: How do I get my rope to adapt?
Attached is a mock up - original contains assemblies within assemblies etc. The base has been altered after creating the in-place parts, and the rope has not followed suite.

AutoCad :: North Arrow Rotation In Title Block With Rotation Property Editable In SSM
Jul 27, 2012I am making a template file having title block with fields. I use this template for creating layouts and sheets using Sheet Set Manager and the fields will be updated from the data of SSM. Now i would like to add a dynamic north block to my template. The block could be rotated (i have this block in file itself) and rotation angle could be inserted. Now how can i add a custom field to SSM so that i could set a rotation angle for the project and thus every new layout or sheet created using the template has the north block rotated with the angle mentioned in SSM.
Here is the file...........

Dec 20, 2011In SW I was able to create assemblies that had components with limited motion and then set them as "Fllexable" and allow them to move in larger assemblies. How do I do this in Inventor? I have a trailer with both the front and rear axles able to pivot. These axle sub-assemblies are both able to pivot as top level assemblies but when they are assembled in the trailer assembly the only way I have found to allow movement is to make one axle active and move it then activate the other nad move it. This doesn't work well if there are several interdependant subassemblies that should move together. I am in Inventor 2012.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Assembly With Motion
Aug 8, 2012I'm trying to make an assembly that would move. however I'm having trouble right now, when i try to move things by mouse, it seems they just go everywhere without respecting the constraints. At first i was using the drive constraint on the slider delete for the movement but it doesn't work either.
I am using inventor 2011 btw. Here are the files, assemblage.iam was working correctly but when i added the arms, they don't work ( assemblage2.iam).
AutoCAD Inventor :: Constraining Assembly To One Motion
Nov 12, 2013When I rotate the drive shaft gear very slowly, the assembly follows the the correct motion path, (figure 1), however, when I rotate it quickly, the assembly snaps the linkages to an orientation that is not physically possible, but satisfies the geometrical constraints (figure 2). I can't use contact solver because I am using the adaptive function for my sub-assembly to avoid having to re-constrain many parts.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Gears And Relative Motion
Nov 12, 2012I'm trying to design a gear system wherein a small gear rotating on an axle interacts with a large gear, held on an arm. The arm rotates about the same axis as the small gear, in the opposite direction. I applied the relevant motion constraint between the two gears. When I rotate the arm, the motion of the large gear rotates the small gear. However, if I just rotate the small gear, it freewheels, and the large gear doesn't move at all. This is a problem, because the machine depends on the independent rotation of both gear and arm-- the small gear has an input applied to it, but if I try to rotate it it has no effect on the large gear. I assume this is to do with the fact that the large gear's axis of rotation moves with the rotation of the arm.
I can't just throw it all into dynamic simulation, because I don't know yet what kind of torques will be rotating the arm and the small gear-- I know how they rotate relative to each other in terms of degrees, but that's all.
Essentially what I need to do is make it so that rotating the small gear turns the big gear, even when the arm is free to move (when it's grounded, the gears turn normally). I thought about using a contact set, but the gears (generated by Inventor) actually slightly intersect at the teeth, so that doesn't work.
