Is 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.
How to apply forces to a component who is spinning. More specific i am interested in the centrifugal loads distributed over the component.
Take an inducer wheel for a turbocharger. It is a complicated component and very difficult to calculate by hand. it is spinning with high revs, and the rev limit it set by the centrifugal forces acting.
I am wondering if the FEA in Inventor 2013 is capable of simulating a pipe under a point load and at what point the pipe fails. Its a simple 2in dia pipe supported by a vertical tube with a load of 'X' centered on the pipe.
I'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.
Is it possible to validate/simulate my PLC program with autodesk inventor, using for example OPC connection between Inventor and my PLC. I know its possible in Delmia, but in our firm we have Inventor.
I have been trying to crack dimension annotation for ages now. I usually try to solve it within a drawing I am working on. This latest attempt is a test with only something in it to highlight the issue I am having.
Basically there is a correct annotation in model space and three viewports with three attempts to dimension it in paper space. It is drawn in the template I normally use.
How 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.
Since 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.

I 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.
The issue is with Photoshop CS1 not having the same ability as every other version of Photoshop to either backup the activation information, or provide the Adobe crack CD to bypass the activation.
I sometimes have to reinstall my entire OS multiple times per month and when doing so must reinstall Photoshop. At this time, the software requires activation. Since those who purchase Photoshop are automatically volunteered to the Adobe anti-piracy program, the user must call Adobe every single time that you want to use the product. This issue has cost me easily over a few thousand dollars in company time already and I am desperate for a solution.
As a reference, CS2 & CS3 have built-in functions to backup the registration information so that you can use the software without spending a day or two on the phone.
Earlier versions of Photoshop such as ver 5.5 do not require enrollment in the anti-piracy program, so Adobe can just send the crack CD that will work with the license number that is received when the product is purchased. The last company I worked with was using 5.5 and required Photoshop to be installed on a laptop without networking abilities and that is how I learned of the crack CD from Adobe.
how to either obtain the CS1 activation crack from Adobe, or how to backup the activation information,
I've been struggling the whole day to change the color of the black crack in the attached picture to red (to match my other samples) whilst fading the crack edging (paint overrun). The best I could get was to manually dodge tool the cracks to lessen the excess paint outside of the cracks but then the dodging lessens the contrast of the crack crevice too. How to (1) locally contrast the cracks from the paint around its edges and (2) change the color of the crack from black.
I've tried playing with overlays whilst adjusting the color modes for the cracks, but I've not met with much success and I'm not sure if its my lack of knowledge of these features or if its just the wrong approach altogether. PS. I'm using CS2 (its what the office has...)
I would like simulate this action or model this simple action I have in this sketch. It is pretty basic but I am drawing a blank on how I could see the max movement I can get with a 6" cylinder stroke.
Maybe more difficult than I am capable of, I could model it but don't know how to get it to move or rotate that would simulate the movement.
I am working on an application that uses map to query data, then saves the data to a file, and repeat. It works flawlessly when I use a commandmethod with commandflags.session, But, when I try to run the same code from a form button, I get "drawing is busy". The command from the form button ignores the commandmethod and the commandflags. I am guessing that "sendstringtoexecute" would work, but I would prefer to not do it that way.
What am I missing? Is there another way to lock the session?
I have a line with shapes on each end like an aligned dimension. I want to have a grip on each end to let the user put the ends where they want.
I tried a polar stretch pair, with two rotation pairs, but am lost. The stretch is easy, but does not rotate the arrows to stay aligned to the line. I don't actually have arrows, but most know the behavior of aligned dimensions. I don't have extension lines though, like the dim would so ignore that part.
I have 2013 inventor/mechinical a cad did not have enought memory on c: drive added another hard drive E: need to move my files to the e drive. single seat all on this computer.
I have an assembly that was created on 64 bit version of Inventor 2013, the total file size of everything is around 150MB. Even if I use 'Pack and Go' to move the file to another computer running the 32 bit version I get an error when I try to open it which says something like:
'unable to allocate 3GB memory for FBAttributeSegment'
The actually figure is over 3GB but of course on a 32 bit version of windows it is physically impossible to allocate that amount of memory (even with the /3GB in boot.ini hack)
I've performed various dynamic simulations as well as animations within the assembly so I'm thinking that perhaps its trying to allocate that huge amount of memory for a saved state of one of those.
What FBAtributeSegment might be and whether there is any special way to save an assembly to avoid this problem? The name FBAttributeSegment doesn't correspond to any part or assembly names.
I should also add that I have no problem opening it in a 32 bit version of Fusion which again suggests to me that it is something like simulation or animation that is causing this
I am having an issue when trying to simulate cloth. When I simulate the cloth, the dialog box with the simulation comes up and before it finishes simulating one frame it closes. At the bottom of 3ds Max, it says end solve.
It worked on an earlier version of the same file as I was able to simulate 100 frames.
I am running 3ds Max 2010 on Windows Vista.
Below is a picture of my command panel. Why the simulation box only stays open for half a second?
Is it possible to simulate Lab color in Illustrator? The above example was done in Photoshop with all the colours having the same Lightness setting.(Complementary colours are at diametrically opposite places on the square.)It seems to be difficult to do it in Illie without testing in Photoshop first.
I want to create the opposite of 'simulate pressure', that is when stroking a path, I want the beginning (and end) of my line to be thicker and in the middle smaller.. how can you do that with PS 7 ?
when I try to stroke a path with the pen tool and select simulate pressure it will not work. I was using it last night and it worked just fine, and I can't seem to figure out why it isn't working.
It is only when I try to use the brush and simulate pressure that it doesn't work. I can do it with pencil and all that.
