I created a mold design of bicycle frame. when i generated core and cavity, i faced some problems.
it said,
1. there are small gaps between these edges (edge set 1, maximum gaps is 25.16917 mm. edge set 2, maximum gaps is 25.16917mm)
2. runoff surfaces penetrate the porduct (surface 1, surface 2, until surface 6)
below this post i attach the file.
I have a question regarding the 'Face Set Tool' on the 'Create Insert' tool.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've created a silhouette curve in the plastic part, and marked it for export.
In mold environment, I need it as startup curve for the runoff surfaces. But whatever I try, it's always switching back to being not used.
my problem is that when I go to put in a gate (in this case a fan gate) of the type and shape shown below, I can't do it. It seems like gates have to only be above or below the parting line, rather than right on (and symmetrical about) it, and a fan gate (apparently) must always have a flat bottom.
(This is a snip of the drawing for the actual tool. I have to run some mold flow analysis on it before we authorize cutting steel. I could just model the whole 2-cavity assembly with gates and runners, and then lie to Inventor and tell it that the part actually has a sprue gate ... but I'd prefer to do it the right way.)
Possible to do mold design with Inventor? I can't seem to find anything that will allow me to scale a part for shrinkage? I know SolidWorks has a scaling feature but where is it in Inventor?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI downloaded the full package of mold design library and installed it following instruction. Unfortunately, it does not work properly. I failed to insert a mold base after creating core and cavity. The pop up window of Vendor and Type is empty.

How do I determine what the problem is with my part I'm trying to bring in? This was a part that was brought in from a .step file, then saved it as a .ipt. No problems that I can see with the .ipt, but Inventor Mold does not like it for some reason.
I am trying to draw a bicycle frame in 3D. What is the best functions to use? I first drew the frame in 2D using regular lines. Next I drew a circle at one of the intersection points, then used Sweep. I repeated the steps but with a smaller circle.
Next i was planning to Subtract the smaller tube with the large to create a tube but I am having trouble selecting to subtract to make a hollow tube. I'd like to evaluate to see if there is a easier way to draw so that it is easy to modify down the line.

I created an extruded aluminium profile (attached file: Item Profile 8 80x80) which I published into the Content Center. When using this profile in a frame design, and using the Trim To Frame command, the profiles are trimmed at a weird angle (attached pdf file).

My attempt at a solution and problems encountered:
I made a bicycle gear by patterning a small circle around a large circle then trimming lines (see attached sketch), but this method requires me to estimate the diameter of the large circle before patterning and then keep modifying this slightly until I get an intertooth distance as close as possible to 12.7mm. So I can't get exactly 12.7mm. In my sketch I have labelled this intertooth distance I refer to by construction lines.
I want to create a mold around my object that is supposed to be a sea shell so I can cast it with a metel pewter castor machine
I have made the object but not the mold can I create a mold around the object? The result should be similar to the picture below but I don`t know how to make a mold around my object. The mold could be a double mold consisting of two pieces of.
How to create a slide for the mold I am designing. I have looked at the tooling tutorials but they are not very useful when it comes to something which doesn't follow the tutorial workflow.
In the case of our product I require that the cavity which has been created to be split down the centre into two halves (essentially the cavity becomes the slides). I have tried a number of methods to achieve this but can't get it right.
I am creating a Carbon Fiber glider. I have drawn the entire file and assembled it in autodesk inventor. How can I take each individual part and create a mold that I can CNC out? I just need a mold CAD file and then can run it through mastercam to get the G&M Code.

Would you mind posting the steps for myself and other forum readers to follow. I guess my real question is: how do you create a 2 part mold using the derive command?

I want to create a female mold from this file, but need to make sure there is a 1/2" off set to account for board thickness. I've looked at derive and mold but since I have zero experience with either command I have spent hours going in circles.
The attached picture is what my mold looks like. Just a big rectangle that is 2" thick with some rounded contours cut on the top.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to create a packaging mold for an 'item assembly' which I have created in AutoDesk Inventor. To do so, in a new 'mold assembly', I made a solid rectangular prism with the assembly constrained in the middle of it. I then import this new 'mold assembly' through the 'derive component' option into a new part and make Inventor subtract from the prism the shape of the 'item assembly'. This gives me my mold, however I am not sure how I can erase the original 'item assembly' that was placed inside the prism (which is now a mold), for it still remains after the derive component feature has been executed. How I can remove it?

Having just installed PDS Ultimate 2013 on a Vista-64 machine, I notice while viewing the Wiki files, that the installation installed only a Partial Library of Metric Mold Bases. I wish to install ALL Mold Bases, i.e. Imperial, Metric and Meusburger. I followed instruction per "Mold Design Desktop content Libraries for Autodesk Inventor Professional 2012".
I deleted the existing partial metric idcl file and moved the Imperial.idcl, metric.idcl and meusberger.idcl file into the content center libraries folder. The replacement files are named AI_2012 Inventor Mold Imperial, AI_2012 Inventor Mold Metric and AI_2012 Inventor Muesburger.idcl. All three files are dated 2/8/2011.
Now, am I no longer able to query for ANY mold base or associated parts whatsoever!
How do I go about installing the complete set of Mold Bases and get Moldfow to make queries to all three Mold Base Libraries?
I have attached a part. On the four corners of the front face there is large gaps. I am unable to use the seam comand to fix these.

I realise you can draw a simple 2d line and extrude the edges but what i want to know is can you add surfaces to the wire frame.

Our guard frames are manufactured from extruded aluminum section (made by a company called palletti) I have when needed created a new frame generator frame member for each new x-section that we wish to use. I then draw a 2d sketch for the base frame skeleton and then a 3d sketch for all the frame work above. This I then use in an assembly to create the framework. This framework assembly then goes into a second assembly where the framework is then adorned with all the accoutrements that make up a guard frame that we can then order as an assembled frame, panels feet, hinges et al.
When placing the views for the detailing of the second assembly sometimes the view will show the wrong length for one or some of the frame members.
;note how the left and right views are different and how some of the frame members are elongated on the lh view.
I'm guessing its because of the home grown frame members but all seems to work well other wise and this only happens infrequently.

View 8 Replies View RelatedOkay, so it's been a while since I've done one of these, and I haven't done one on 2014 at all yet.
I've got a fairly simple part, it's about 6" long x 3" wide, less than 3/8" thick, without a whole lot of complex geometry to work with. I've built up my whole mold for it, and that went okay, but the fill analysis seems like it's taking forever. Like hours. It gets to the "Fill" stage, gets just a sliver of green on the progress bar, and then sits.
Last time I tried this was on my workstation at the office, using 2013. It didn't take nearly this long, and the part was much larger and far more complex, with a significantly slower computer.
Is something broken with this in 2014? I guess I can just let it run overnight, see what happens in the morning ...
