Is it possible to create a transition when the backplate shown in the picture is a cylinder?
I have tried several options, with 3Dpaths both nothing worked so far.

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 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.

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'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.

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 need to do a smooth transtition between that first long cube and the cylinder kind of shpe on it's right so that the cube and cylinder are attached toether and we dont see the edges of the cube.

I have a square to round transition that I need formed up and the shop is telling me that they would prefer to split this thing at the corners rather than the flats. I've tried two different ways of doing this but how to handle this part. It's 10.75" OD at the bottom and 2'-4" square at the top and 1'3" in length and made of 1/4" stainless steel plate. The shop wants this in four bent pieces that they can weld together down the corners.
I've tried making just the one side but I'm not getting the results I would like to see. Making the full transition (as in the picture above) gives the finished result I am looking for but I can't separate it into multiple sides.
How to mold a pipe and flange together wit a filled in transiton as if they were one continuous piece.
The pipe edge is flush with the flat square fange. The combine option does not allow me to conduct operation.
I am struggling to create a smooth transition between radii called out on a drawing. I am also unsure of how to create a flange on that edge of my part.
Here is the drawing and the model I have created so far.
Here I am attaching a square to round transition duct drawings which is weld assembly & assembly drawing in pdf, This one was made in Inventor from one of our principle maker, I am trying to make this similar in inventor as I couldn’t, I am pretty good in sheet metal able to make the casing well, but couldn’t the assembly of pins and making of cladding sheets on that curved surface.
Autodesk Inventor 2010.
Windows XP.
I am able to extract an flat pattern (for round to square) but not exactly as the customers drawing.
The original drawing shows some relief in bending lines which i am not able to add in inventor. after a glance at the attachments you will clearly understand what i want.
I need to create a cylindrical hatch. Is that even possible with AutoCAD 2013? It's for a non-rendered drawing so it needs to be a hatch, not a material etc.

After getting Vault installed on our server and successfully setting up users and connections, I used the Library Transfer Guide to move our Content Center (including custom) to the Vault. I then changed the Inventor Application Options -> Content Center -> Access Options to Autodesk Vault Server.
This seems to have worked, as I can Place from Content Center when in an assembly, and it is pulling standard content as well as our custom files properly from the vault. However, in the instructions that I used for the installlation, it was suggested to stick with a standard folder structure within the Vault, namely two Library Folders named 'Content Center Files' and 'Libraries' and also a regular folder named 'Designs'.
I created those folders prior to transferring the library, as I thought they would be populated with the standard/custom content. This was not the case and I am curious when these folders come into play? *they are empty*
Also, today I will be attempting to 'Check In' a project to the Vault that I recently completed; does this usually maintain structural relationships between files?
Would you recommend using a single project structure in vault for two people? It seems, since we won't be working on the same project at the same time, having a single project would not be relavant to our situation..

I often use gradient cylindrical fill to paint pipes, however if gradient has to fill wide boundry it gets distorted, i found the way of making a short block and scaling it, gradient fill is consistent. It's ok but i want to make a dynamic block out of it and i cant, also if i explode this block gradient fill problem reappears (see pic)
