I need to model up a length of rod with a cylindrical end with a hole in it. The cylindrical end needs to be flattened slightly where the rod meets it. How to do this ? See attached picture.

I'm currently detailing a part that's about one-third of a cylindrical piece (the part is lathed as a whole and cut into thirds). I'm trying to project the centerline onto the section view so I can ordinate dimension to it.

I have it in a layout (paper space) and used a viewport to get the section I am after but there are some changes in labeling and minor model modifications needed to make it a stand alone model and I do not want to modify the original model to make these changes. How can I take a section like I have in view port and make it into its own model with a different scale so the changes can be made and the original model is left in tact?

i drew a cylindrical cam using the inventor tool then i also drew the actuator ( a simply plate rounded on top) but when i add the contact tangency link between the two surfaces and i move the cam , the two objects interpenetrate!

I need to drawing something similar to the attached image on either side of a "U" shaped rod.
The "U" shape is drawn using a sweep of a circle (the hatched section on the atatched image illustrates).
I just can't fathom how to draw the solid at the top oneiter side.
I've been trying to add a plane at an angle, then draw a circle & try to sweep that for each half of the "u", but after a few hours, total fail
How can i get the length or diameter of a cylindrical face by selecting the face as shown in the attached picture.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to show the deformed nature of a shaft after loading along its axis and simulation of the part. If you take as an example a rod of Plasticine and stretch it you will see the center section thinning,the same laws apply to a rod of steel during stretching,why is it that this is not shown during the
simulation of the part,is it mesh settings or something that is not built into the analysis. When one applies loadings to sheet metal the deformation is clearly shown.
I need to draw a cylindrical cam in Inventor Professional 2013. I tried using the cam module but it is not what I need. My cam can be generated by a third-degree polynomial. You could use the new "curve from equation"?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to constrain the green cylinder to move between the red frame. The red cylinder is constrained on the surface of the larger gray cylinder, which moves around the grounded red frame. When the green cylinder goes up hill/down hill the larger gray cylinder is supposed to rotate around its own axis.
When I choose transitional constraint I'm only able to pick one face on the red frame, and not the whole face. I think it's because the face is not planar, but varies in z-led.
Neither am I able to use the Contact Solver, it seems like the friction is too high. The green cylinder doesn't slide that well when using Contact Solver.
I am really struggling in trying to revolve around cylindrical body on a specified angle. I understand the degrees of rotation angle, but i am looking to revolve or extrude a certain shape for the length of the shaft. Like trying to make a coil or a set of threads.
I have tried to use sweep but sweep doesn't work with two sweep lines.
Is there any way / trick to wrap a 2D sketch to a non-flat/cylindrical/conical face? See attached part. I'd like wrap the lines in Sketch2 to the ring's outer face in order to get a proper path for "engraving". I see no other way to get a proper path for sweep, because project along vector won't work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I want to find the intersection point between a cylindrical curve and faces in a body. I have the start point an start vector and a rotational velocity. With this values it should be possible to create this cylindrical curve.
Is there a function in inventor which I can use?
Currently I am using the function "FindUsingRay". But I thing that there is only the possibility to fire a linear function through the body.
Today I found the command "FindUsingVector":
Sub FindUsingVector(OriginPoint As Point, Direction As UnitVector, ObjectTypes As SelectionFilterEnum(), ByRef UseCylinder As [defaultvalue(-1)] Boolean, ByRef ProximityTolerance As [optional] VARIANT, ByRef VisibleObjectsOnly As [defaultvalue(-1)] Boolean, ByRef LocationPoints As [optional] VARIANT,
I did not find any information in the "Autodesk Programming help". what is the difference between this both functions?
Is the argument "UseCylinder" for a switch into cylindrical coordinate system?
In Solidworks I can emboss a sketch into a 'wavy' surface without difficulty.
If I try to do the same thing with Inventors 'Emboss' command It fails with "Only planar, cylindrical or conical faces are supported."
Surely there must be a way to achieve the same effect as in the first illustration, in Inventor ? Am I missing something obvious?
I'm trying to build an assembly with conical rollers rolling on a cylindrical support. Refer to the attached sketch. I'd like to be able to constrain the conical faces of the roller to the cylindrical surface of the support. It doesn't seem to be possible to do that in Inventor; or, more accurately, it's not possible to put a tangential constraint on both conical faces at the same time. The first tangential constraint causes the part to place a generatrix line parallel to the axis of the cylinder. (I had to look up what generatrix means, too.) So it's not possible to make the second tangential constraint.
How I can do this? Just in case that's not difficult enough, the reason I'm doing this is because, ultimately, the support will not be a plain cylinder but actually a tube that also curves. It's the behaviour of the roller through various curves on the support tube that I ultimately want to model, but I have no hope of doing that if I can't even get the roller constrained onto a plain cylinder.
I am trying to verify the bending strength of a solid part. Need to calculate the section modulus on certain cross section. Don't know how to do it using inventor.

I have a 3d model of a bridge and I would like to cut transverse sections at every pier but would like to get linework just at the spot to create plans and would like for it to be linked so if you update pier it will update section? Is this possible or something very close? Let me know what are the best ways to do this.

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy problem today is that I made a Model of a Part of a ship using surfaces rather than solids because the engineer thought it would be easier to bring into ANSYS program for analysis but he is now having a problem with it and I am looking into converting my current model to solid. I can do it but the method I thought of using is quite long winded and we are working to a tight deadline.
1.open up the surface part
2.use "Offset/Thicken"
3.any clashes between parts make a sketch and cut away.
the problem is the amount of plates I have and the time it takes to sort them out.
I'm modelling a complex curve for a fashion garment. I've always modelled in polygons in the past but have had more success on this project using nurbs, however I've got to a certain position and I'm wondering which way is the best way to model / create the next section of the garment(see image attached). Is it just the case of creating lots of section lines as lofting?
