AutoCAD Inventor :: Assembly UCS To Part UCS Constraint
May 16, 2013My need is to assembly parts into an assembly by a known position in the assembly. The part has a UCS and I create UCS on the assembly programatically. What I cannot do is to constrain the two UCS. I tried this (Inventor 2013 x64 on W7/W8 64, c++ 2010 by the way DEBUG mode is not working from the IDE):
CAssemblyComponentDefinition compDef = doc.get_ComponentDefinition();
// MOdules UCS
CUserCoordinateSystems coords = compDef.get_UserCoordinateSystems();
CTransientGeometry geom = m_InventorApp.get_TransientGeometry();
CMatrix matrix = geom.CreateMatrix();

AutoCAD Inventor :: Rotate WITH Constraint In Assembly?
Jun 24, 2013I have an assembly wherein one part is mated to another grounded part, with a face-to-face coincident mate. The click + drag type of movement appears to move the part, while continually solving this constraint.
However, it seems like there is no way to do a rotation in the same manner, where the constraint is continually updated. There appears to only be the "Free Rotate" command, which ignores the constraints.
Is there really no way to do this in Inventor? The application is that I am laying out a mold for many, many small parts, and I am trying to move and rotate them into position to get good packing efficiency and density. Each part will be attached to a mold base with one of the aforementioned face-to-face constraints, then slid & rotated around manually.
This seems like a really important piece of functionality. Solidworks can certainly do this, do a part rotation in an assembly, while solving for existing constraints.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Assembly Rotating Constraint
Mar 24, 2013I am using Autodesk Inventor Professional 2013.
Motor Model 1:1 is used to turn the wheel holders at various angles. The part named "front gear spring holder" is supposed to revolve and turn the inner part of the "front wheel holder" My problem is that I want to simulate the turning of the front wheel's using contact sets or 3d/2d contact sets in the dynamic simulation environment. I do not know how to do this, but I'm almost certain the program is capable of doing so. Also the spinning of the front wheels must be able to be done along with various angles of the front wheels(while turning, the front wheels must be able to still spin with the front gear spring holder".
I have seen threads and articles that say that making gears with contact sets is not recommended or possible but i have two instances here where they work perfectly fine using the dynamic simulation with 3d /contact sets. Take a look at the simulation I have saved as well.
I will need more on this assembly in the future, including how to create bevel gears that work at 90 degree angles or spur gears with contact sets instead of just simulating their movements .
AutoCAD Inventor :: Adding Angle Constraint To Assembly
May 14, 2013I am trying to add an angle constraint to an assembly of a ladder design. I need for the ladder to be able to be set at an angle against a wall and not vertical. The ladder design is such that the base brackets are fixed to the ground and the rest of the ladder may move about the axis of the bolted connection at the base of the ladder. I cannot get the angle constraint on the ladder to allow this.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Change Angle Constraint In Assembly
Jan 5, 2013I got a problem with editing angle constraint in assemblies. I tried edit property of constraint but it didn't move model. Simply changing Angle attribute of constraint item don't work.
Only way I achieved movemenet is
if(oOccurrence.Constraints[i].Name.Equals(name))
{
AngleConstraint a = (AngleConstraint)oOccurrence.Constraints[i];
Object oEntity1 = a.EntityOne;
Object oEntity2 = a.EntityTwo;
String sVal = "" + angle + " deg";
[Code]...
but this is really slow, as much as changing throught parameter:
if (assemblyDoc.ComponentDefinition.Parameters[i].Name == "d655")
{
Inventor.Parameter invParam = assemblyDoc.ComponentDefinition.Parameters[i];
invParam.Value = Math.PI * angle/180;
inventorApplication.ActiveDocument.Update();
}
AutoCAD Inventor :: Assembly Constraint Errors When Resizing Component
Mar 30, 2012I have an assembly that is nearly completed. I am trying to change the lengths of two side rails (arrow pointing to one of them). On each end of these rails are several components that have been constrained to the rails.
When I change the length of the rails, many of the constraints show errors. I expected that all components would move with the ends of the rails as they are shortened since that is where they were constrained, but this has not happened.
The constraint recovery tool has not been useful to me.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Flush Constraint Between Two Workplanes In Assembly With Two Parts?
Oct 1, 2013If I have two parts as occurrences in an assembly, how can I programatically constraint two workplanes (one from each part) to a flush constraint.
My problem is that I can get the Occurrences, say ...
CComPtr<ComponentOccurrence> pTube1Occ = ...
CComPtr<ComponentOccurrence> pTube2Occ = ...
...but I don't know how to delve into these two pointers to get hold of two named workplanes within them. I'd then pass the two workplanes (somehow?!) to the AddFlushConstraint function.
get_SurfaceBodies doesn't seem right and neither does get_SubOccurrences.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Constraint Limits Don't Work In Upper Assembly
Nov 1, 2011I have a linear slide assembly, for which I've set up limit constraints in the open and closed position.
It all works well, with one being able to drag the slide open and closed and the parts stopping in the correct positions.
I then inserted 4 of these assemblies as sub assemblies in a parent assembly.
I then constrain another part to the 4 slides.
I want to just drag on this part, to make the slides move to open positions.
This is to check kinematics etc.
One cant do this. You can only drag one slide open, by activating that slide in the model browser.
Any way to make limits work properly in upper assemblies?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Tangent Assembly Constraint - Ellipse Surface To Line
Aug 26, 2013Why can't Inventor constrain an ellipsoidal contour with a line? We have pressure cylinders which uses a 2:1 ellipse. These cylinder get welded to a base stand fixture. The surface of the ellipse nestles in between contact points of the base stand, in this case lines of geometry. Yet Inventor can't constrain them as such. Any good workflow (at the assembly level) so that we don't have to ground components and use the Analyze Interference tool to make sure we are right on the surfaces? I don't understand why it will work for a cylindrical surface but not an elliptical surface.
View 7 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Angle Constraint / Drive Constraint
Jul 30, 2012I am designing a vertical axis wind turbine just for some practice (just started using Inventor) and everything was going smoothly until I tried to "animate" it spinning. First, I set up a work plane that goes through the center of the structure, and then I clicked angle constraint "explicit reference vector." After watching several youtube videos, I figured that I should click on the work plane, click on another reference point, and then click another point that would be orthogonal to those two (right?). Well after I choose the first point, Inventor will only allow me to choose the center axis as the second option (which I think should be the third option).
View 6 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Parallel Threading In ILogic
Jan 31, 2013We have been experimenting with Parallel threading. The situation is that I have an assembly that contains multiple parts (approx. 40) which all have contained "almost" the same code. In order to rationalize this; we have rearranged the code in such way that we now only reference External iLogic rules form these 40 part files (only one place to revise the code if necessary).
The side effect to this rationalization has been the we have problems in executing the codes in parallel, see this simplified example:
Imports System.Threading.TasksParallel.For(1,40, Sub(h As Integer) iLogicVb.RunRule ("Part "& h &"", "iTriggerRule") End Sub)
Now all of these 40 part files try to execute their code.
'Configutation of Part filesiTrigger=iTrigger0iLogicVb.RunExternalRule("Cut configuration")iLogicVb.RunExternalRule("Bracing of the part")iLogicVb.RunExternalRule("Parameter context")
As they all are dependent upon running the same external rules the result is that not all part files are updated according to the required design requirements. It seem as if one of the part files calls the external rule and the rule is "busy" handling another part file it just terminates without warnings or errors.
Can multiple part files run the same external rule at the same time? Is there some form of queue? I do not get any warnings or errors, the partfiles just do not update. How can I make sure that all the part files run the external rules and is there a way of checking this?
