View 9 Replies View Relatedis it possible to define a 'natural direction' at a pin, in which a wire should start when connected to that pin? This would seem to be natural for me.
As the attached picture shows, my wire is connected at this pin in a weird direction (because I need to route it through the indicated segment).
What is the best strategy to do it correctly?
Another question: I increased the diameter of the segment, hoping that it means that the wires are constrained within the segment, but are free to move withini this. But they all seem to be constrained to the centerline. What I want is that all my wires pass within this 'tube' of 30mm diameter.
I work for a company that does custom electrical enclosures and we use a 2010 version of inventor professional. What would be required to run wire in assemblies easily and also output wiring diagrams?

I want the track to move naturally when the sliding piece moves, however it folds over on itself and doesn't stay in line. I can't figure out anyway to make it look uniform and move they way it should, is it possible in inventor?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHow best to go about creating a "wire mesh". What i have tried is to create a solid flat (2mm thick) piece of material. I then draw a diamond shape on the surface & extrude it so as to give me a void.
Then i use the rectangular pattern option. The problem is that when i try putting in the amounts of the "holes" i need to brings up message to use optimized compute. I do that and then when i click to crate all the "holes" it comes up with a pattern failure error.
What other way can i use to create my object.
I made the parts but cannot make the wire fit in the assembly.Is it best yo make the wire in an assembly mode then as a individual part to fix in the assembly.How would you make the wire and also so it connects correctly in assembly
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm working on constructions that are operated with winches. However, I haven't found a way to model the wire so that it moves as it should.
I've attached a simplifed assembly that illustrates my issue.
In the "Master" position the wire looks as it should.
However, in the "Up" position, the wire does not. (red line indicates desired wire path)
I'm not interested in making the wire slack, just to have straight lines and radiuses around the sheave.
The actual constructions are much more complex, with 15+ sheaves and the wire moving in all three dimensions, not just in one plane as in the attached example. So a simple extrude cut on the assembly would not work.
I need the wire to work in the various set positions ("Master", "Up" & "Halfawy up") on an assebly level, so that it can be shown on drawings.
Optimally I'd love it to work in the "Flexible" position, so that it automatically adjusts (in real-time) as I move the rod, but it's not a requirement.
I've found multiple videos on Youtube showing something similar to what I want to accomplish, but no description of how it's done. Examples:
Inventor Simulation - Pulley and Cable.wmv
Winch - Autodesk Inventor (the wire being spooled onto the winch is not required, but it does look nice)
I've modeled a "twisted-in wire brush" and I'm getting graphic/model glitches. Every now and then when I zoom in on the model it becomes an abstract mess. It has something to do with the twisted wire portion of my model. It's just a simple coil (sketch: 2 circles twisted downward) feature but Inventor keeps choking.
Any twisted wire texture that perhaps I could try. I'm not quite sure how to make it myself. Plus, Inventor 2014's entire Material/Appearance library is a real dog's breakfast. What used to be be rather simple for me has become a challenge.

Someone has given me a .wire file from Alias. I fired up a new assembly in Inventor but it imported into a part. There are many parts to this design, and I'd rather have them as separate parts. However what I have now is one part with many surfaces (which I can turn on or off). Any tips for bringing it in differently? Maybe I can derive some parts out from my existing part which has about 20 surfaces (which should be parts)?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI would like to add tree parameters to this part. One is a wire diameter. Another should be the length of the wire. The last should calculate the weight of the wire. Then I wish to set the mass of this wire part equal to this last parameter. Is it possible somehow?

However, I'd also like to include a loop of greater than minimum bend radius between the two connection points, we tend to do this to reduce strain on the fibres. Any elegant solution for inserting the loop?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just installed Inventor 2012 two days ago and obviously no training yet. My boss asked me to do a part for GibbsCAM which includes a 7/8" left hand wire rope imprint in a block of steel for this afternoon's production. I have my block done, what is the best way to do this? I'm thinking create a wire rope solid to cut out of my block. Would I use the thread tool: that's not the same but would it work?... I don't need a representation. I need the read thing that will work!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd like to make an animation of a thin copper wire being wound onto a pulley. Is this possible in Inventor? I'm not sure Inventor will allow the thin wire to be bent. I can imagine other ways to make the animation, but I'd much rather have the wire bend around the pulley as the pulley rotates.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMany times, we run several individual wires from one device to another. They are not grouped in a cable jacket or anything just individual wires. I was wondering if there is anyway to make the wire routing look a little neater as right now I have to tweak each wire one by one and many times it looks like crap. Can I use a segment for this and then just turn off the visibility of the segment or something? I just want the wires to look neat running from one place to another and there must be a way to do this?
View 6 Replies View RelatedAfter I create a wire it will not be displayed as a rendered wire. There is no indication of error in the wire (to sharp angle) and this is also happens for a straight wires with no turns.
I have made multiple revisions of an assembly and in older reviosions I can make the wires and they are shown as rendered. But in the latest revision it is not possible. In a older revision I had a harness assembly than deleted it could this have any affect?
Also is there any setting that hides rendered wires that I might have turned on accidently?I have a student licence and the assembly has about 700 parts if that makes any difference.
I use Cad for Mac 2011. I made this "3d"-wire drawing to find out the angles of an object. Now when I make an angular inquiry the value given is right. When I try to put in an angular dimension it does not work. I put in a screenshot here to be more clear. This is the situation viewed from southeast:
Agular dimension.jpg
So, the angle I want to put the dimension to is the one between the red lines. When I choose "Angular Dimension" and then pick the two lines the dimension is automatically put on the two white lines next to the red lines. While the verteces of the dimension lay on the picked red lines the arrows point to the white lines and the value given also refers to them.
Haven't used AC in a while and hoping this is a simple question, trying to take a polyline (in this case a coil shape) and add a diameter to the line. This 3D object will then be imported to COMSOL for some thermal expansion modeling.
Is there an easy way to do this?

We are moving our schematic work from Visio to acad to keep everything in one program, and are trying to figure out how we can make the wire polyline in the attached file so it just to snaps to the connection points without actually extend the line or adding a vertices. I basically just want to re create what we already do in Visio where you can basically create an arrow, add text to the middle and then have it snap to a connection point.
I was working in CAD wire-frame and I'm drawing a small plate 230*60*15, is there any way to turn this into a solid object or add edges to it, so it appears as 1 object?
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.
