AutoCAD Inventor :: Simulate A Sprag Clutch
Mar 13, 2012
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.

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.

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.

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.

so I want to simulate the stress on a payload that is on a rocket. the payload will be exposed to 20g!
My question is do I just put a force on the payload straight downward or can the gravity option somehow be used to get an accurate result?

how to create a simulation of a part in a sub-assembly of the assembled design?
I manage to move only the parts in the assembly. However, I can't move the parts in a sub-assembly of the assembled design.

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.

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?
Here is what I am trying to do.
drawing1 is open and the user presses the button
data is queried and saved as 1.dwg
close and discard drawing1
open a new doc drawing2
data is queried and saved as 2.dwg

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 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.

I just upgraded to CS6 from Photoshop 7, which is a huge leap, I know. In PS7 I was able to vary my pen pressure simply by clicking the little box that said 'simulate pressure'. While CS6 has all the same steps, and even has the same little box, the simulate pressure doesn't work (I'm using the standard round brush).
I have gone to brush settings and activated shape dynamics, but that did absolutely nothing. I read a few other discussions that mentioned tablets. I don't have a tablet and don't really plan on getting one any time soon. I never needed one, and with my budget, I really can't afford one; hence why I jumped from PS7 to CS6, took a long time to save all the money.
I can use my simulate pressure option without getting a tablet.

how to simulate with vector tools the objects which are far?
In the attached file I tried to reproduce a photo, the right one is the result but the hills are not finished. It is a general perspective principle that the farer objects are more blurred, but I am not sure how to draw that. As a first solution sure could be adding feather them, the most to the farest, but somehow does not like that. T

I am trying to cloth simulate a window blind. My problem is as follows : The model is made up of several pieces.
1. the curtain / blind
2. a hard button near the bottom
3. a cord attached to the button
4. a wooden know at the bottom of the cord
5 then finally tassled material
So i want the blind to move like cloth blowing in the wind ( fine no problem i can do that ! ) but the hard button must be hard surface and follow the mesh position of the blind - PROBLEM
Then the cord attached to the button must be cloth dynamic to flap about and then the knob on the bottom hard surface attached to this cord and then the tassels must be cloth.
The only way i can think of to do this without merging the seperate geometry is to simulate the curtain then cash this, the attach the button to a cluster on the curtain, then do the sim on the cord, then cluster attach the knob the cloth the tassels.
