AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Simplified Part Of Conveyor

Aug 6, 2013

I'm trying to create a simplied part of a conveyor. It's not too big yet, just over 7000 occurrences - see attached. Yesterday after about 5 hours I crashed Inventor (2014) and tried again. Eventually I let my PC run through the night and this morning it had completed the task. To save took almost 2 hours, producing an *.IPT of just over 830MB. When I restarted my machine (to free the RAM again) I could not open, getting a serious error.

The old shrinkwraps seemed to work way better. I need to create a "dummy" model which breaks all links to the originals assemblies so no one can tamper with it.

My specs:Inventor Professional 2014, 64 bit edition, I've got an HP Z400 desktop which is a 3.2GHz Processor with 4 cores, 12 GB RAM. NVIDIA Quadro 4000 graphics card.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Simplified Part Error

Jul 15, 2013

I am trying to use Create Simplified part and during the creation process..I downloaded a model of a FD breaker off the Eaton Website in .stp format. I am simply trying to get a .ipt file of the model for my layout model.So the steps I did:

1- Open .stp file

2- Save .stp file as an .iam inventor file (ignore the  prompt box "this is not a part file", that is from my logic rule for a part file)

3- once saved in inventor format, I click the simplify tab, select create simplified part, select a name and directory and press save

4- the .iam saves into a single part, BUT it is saved as sean.ipt, not the part number I assigned earlier and it is saved to the directory C:Users, not the directory I assigned in the dialogue box earlier.

Why does it do this every time I "dummy" down an assembly to a single .ipt file?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Simplified Part - Assembly Won't Merge Into One Seamless Part

Dec 11, 2013

I would like to simplify this assembly into one seamless part for FEM calculation:The assembly consists out of parts that, in reality, will be welded together. Due to their form, there is no way to place them exactly onto each other, therefore there are slight gaps between the parts:

Now when I try to merge the assembly into one part via "simplify" --> "create simplified part" and choose "single solid body with seams between planar faces merged", Inventor does not fill these gaps (even though it displays only one part in the bottom right corner of my window). Unfortunately, the remaining gaps brings "contact" problems in the FEM simulation.

how to close the gaps and really merge the assembly into one part?

Illustrator :: Flatten Layers To Create Simplified Image?

Sep 18, 2012

I am teaching myself Illustrator CS6 and have just created a complex image on one layer (contains about 145 different elements).
 
I now want to simplifuy the image so that I can use the 'knife tool' to cut and move a segment of the image (imagine an expanded pie chart).
 
I know how to convert the image so that instead of just one layer with multiple paths... I can have every element on its own seperate layer... but I can't find a way of flattening the layers in to one simple image.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create IProperty That Becomes Part Of Every Part?

Apr 10, 2012

i.e.,  is it possible to create a custom iproperty which would enable the user to attach a particular attribute to every component within an assembly without manually going through each component.

For example,  If I have a pipework sub-assembly within a manifold assembly.  I want to create a custom iProperty for 'Component Type' which would be called 'Pipework' for every component called up within that subassembly.

Likewise for a frame could you have the above custom property attached to every component but called up as 'framework' instead etc.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Using Assembly To Create A Part

Nov 3, 2013

I'm trying to design a linear bearing that is composed of a billet of material to which six ball bearings are bolted. I was able to create a part representing the ball bearing from the manufacturer's dimensions. I then modeled a lock washer as a part, then an assembly consisting of a ball bearing and a lock washer. I then created an assembly from that assembly, with six of these ball bearing/lock washer assemblies in the desired orientations.

Now that I have the ball bearings oriented in space the way I need them, I need to model the billet to which they will all mount. I did things in this order because the ball bearings are metric, yet the rest of my design is in imperial units, and it just seemed easier to orient the bearings (which will interface with yet another assembly that I have yet to design) first.

I'd like to create my billet using the assembly as a reference. The assembly will tell me where I need holes in the billet to mount the bearings, where I need to cut out material for clearances, etc. I can't figure out how (or if) I can import my assembly into my part file, or what other tools are available to accomplish this task.

I'm attempting to model something similar to this. I've got the six bearings oriented in space, now I need to make the block to which they mount.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Text In Part Drawings

Nov 28, 2011

Can we have a better way to create “text” in the Inventor part drawings?

I almost create “text” in every part drawing in different view. I have to create a sketch first, than create a text and dimension the text so I can lock the text in position, otherwise when you move the view and the text will stay in different location.

I had been used “Solid works” for long times. When I need to create a text, just click that view and create a text and the text will stay with that view, whatever you move that view and the text move together.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Derived Part Using Only Some Features?

Jan 12, 2014

it's possible to create a derived part using only some of the features of the base components i.e. I've got a funny shaped part with a bunch of holes in it, and I need another part with exactly the same shape but totally different holes (location and size)I know you can do this with the different solids in the part (only use some of the solids) but I haven't been able to figure it out with features, if it's possible at all.

I could probably create one base part (just the shape) and derive both parts from that, but then I've got a part lying around doing jack.using IV 11.

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2013 / Can Create Part With Different Configuration

Nov 19, 2012

I want to ask if in Autodesk Inventor 2013, can we create a part with a different configuration?

example:I made a cube the size of 10mm x 10mm x 10mm, after which it would be revised measures 15mm x 15mm x 15mm. The second revision to change the size of a 12mm x 12mm x 12mm.
Can all the revision is done in one file?And if I want to revise again be 10mm x 10mm x 10mm, can?

Have I been that provides revision always create a new file and the file number so much that hard to figure out which revision. I am still learning Autodesk Inventor 2013.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Possible To Create Weld Build Up Around A Part

Oct 5, 2012

I'm starting with a tube and want to add a weld build up around the OD on both ends. I mainly want to do this so that when I create a sectioned view on a drawing, you can see the difference in hatching between the original tube and the weld build up. I've had to create sketches on the drawing up to this point.

The photo I've attached shows the tube and shape of the weld build up. the green line is where I would like the tube OD to be, and the weld build up would be everything above that.

I'm using Inventor Pro 2013.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create A Hole Table For A Part

Mar 8, 2013

I need to create a hole table for a part.  I would like the origin to be at the center of the part.  Problem is there is not a round hole at that location.  Attached is a similar part.  The one that I am doing is much larger and has many more holes... this is just an example.

How can I pick this as the origin of my hole table?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Dimension To Create Another Part

Apr 20, 2013

I like to change the dimension of the length from 388mm to 400mm to represent another similar part with another part number.  Yet I still need the old part.

What is the easiest way to do so?  When I use 'save as" and then change the dimension, I need to recreate the dimensions in the dwg files.  Is there a way to avoid creating the dimensions?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Structure Using Attached Part Geometry?

I want to create a structure using the attached part geometry, what would be the best way to make the crosses coincident with the two long columns? (just like the 2 at the top but without having to manually trim each line, if it could be constrained to variable parameters even better)

The structure has the same geometry on all four sides so i intend to circular patern the frame generator components around the Z axis, any better workflows?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Templates Not Used Depending On Method Used To Create New Part File?

Feb 19, 2013

I have found that if I use the drop-down to select a new part file, it does not use the default (and only) part template in my templates folder.  I know this as there are several settings that do not match.  If I click on the icon to open the new part dialog, it displays my templates (part, assy & drw) and creates the new file based on those accordingly.

Any setting that needs to be changed to correct this behavior?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Cut And Paste Solids To Create Multi Body Part

Jan 31, 2011

After migrating my project from MDT2009 to Inventor 2010, every solid body in MDT became a part file in INV.  If I were modeling from scratch, some of the .IPTs should be multibody parts.  Is there any way to cut & paste a solid from one part to another to create a multibody part?  I’m not talking about deriving a new part from the source parts.  The end result should be a multibody part with all sketches intact and all solids fully editable, as if I had modeled them as a multibody part right from the beginning.

I’ve attached a simple example of two separate parts that should be combined into one multibody part, as shown in the .JPG file.  Can it be done without deriving the parts?
