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 RepliesIn 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 have the German version of Inventor 2014, so some translations may be different.
I want to project a text on a sketch onto a conical surface. The error message is that the chosen surface wasn't tangential to the profile plane. I found no way to rotate the plane.
How do I project my profile onto the conical surface or How do I make the profile plane tangential to the conical surface?
I am drawing a fan wheel. The fan blade is curved intersects the shroud, consisting of two cones. I do not know how to trim the blade to the cones. I tried to "split" the blade at the cones and then "delete face" but then the "Go to flat pattern" section on the ribbon is missing. If I suppress the "delete face" feature the "Go to flat pattern" re-appears.

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.
It is not possible forme to add the fil because it is to large 1.8MB how can I poste then I like to know if it is possible to extend the button flat surface diameter ø12.5 up to the shaped surface. The result should be a total solid block whit a surface shaped hole.

I would like to map an image to the face of Inventor part document. Which possibilities Inventor API offers here? I checked out the ColorMapping example but the tessellation of the flat surface is not sufficient to get high resolution image mapped on it. My intention is to attach images to several parts faces within the assembly environment and this as fast as possible since the scene needs to update very quickly.
PS: I use C#.NET.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI often have to do storm pond surfaces that (for the purposes of planning) are flat on the bottom. These surfaces are created from a combination of survey data and grading groups and the tin of these surfaces is perfectably acceptable. However, when contours are shown, the flat bottom is shown with contours jig-jagging all over the place.
The attached image shows a comparison of the same pond. The top was created with survey data and grading groups; the bottom was created using contour data only. The generated surface on the top shows the bottom contour going in different directions and has parts where the an expected contour is missing.
How to correct/manipulate the surface to show a proper flat surface?
I created an iLogic rule that allows in a sheet metal part to the informations Length, widht and area of a flat pattern. This rule run and the iproerties are created (see attachment file).
Now, I will run this rule from an assembly file to create automatically, in all sheet metal components, theses iproperties.
Is it possible ? what must I change in this rule ?
If you look in the attached PDF, I have an elliptical wall that also has changes in elevation. call it a compound radius if you will. What I have to do is to make a wall cap to go on top of the wall. I know, sounds fun.....I have the surface on the right of the PDF and i need to figure out how i can take that shape and have it lay flat so that i can cut this shape out on my CNC. i know I can use the FLATSHOT command, but this will not give me the true shape of the board.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am creating a fan wheel (see attached). The fan blade needs to be extruded to the inside surface of a 2 piece cone assembly. To make it even more difficult, the inner portion of the blade needs to be cut at an angle so that the extrusion ends at the cones. See attached pdf reference sketch. The result for the flat pattern blade edge should be two parabolic curves.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've attached the file (Inventor 2013). The sketch shown is a raised lip I'd like to have around a future opening. I actually want that sketch to wrap all the way around the body, but taper down to 0 in the rear as there are to be hinge plates. This is going to be a grill/smoker and there needs to be a 3/8" raised lip at the future seam of the top and bottom. Shown in the model is just the top portion.

View 7 Replies View Relatedrunning an assembly in to the road corridor and creating a surface. i have designed a network of Roads in CIVIL 3d in which whole network is surrounded by a Loop road. The loop road cross fall is unidirectional (2%) and 4.5 wide. I have used LaneOutsideSuperWithWidening subassembly to create the assembly of the road. This doesnt contain any kerb or footpath but only road channel lines, The corridor run soomthly but after creating the of the loop road corridor the surface is becoming flat meaning there isn't any cross fall acoss the road but in the assembly crossfall is there. If i run the same assembly in another road alignment the suface is coming absolutely correct.
I also tried different road assemblies to run along the loop road but the result is same no cross fall across the road.
