is there any tool in inventor that can determine size of louver or quantity of louver base on heat generated?
we are designing a sheet metal box. we need to find out how many louvers we need.

I have more of a geometry question, rather than CAD question. I need to determine the size of a spar hole for an airplane wing. The wing will be cut out of foam with a hot wire. There is a round spar hole in the wing that runs from the root to the tip on each wing half. A carbon fiber rod goes through it. Seems easy, but the wing is swept back 35 degrees, so round hole will actually be an ellipse is when it exits the root and tip. The hole needs to be 5mm. The ellipse will be 5mm tall, but how do I figure out how wide?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHow to display the annotations properly. Perhaps this may just be a display or view setting but I beleive I have checked them all at least 3 times =).
Even in the video he explains all the things explained here but does not explain exactly how to make the dims and ext lines notate and display properly, in model or paper view (view port). I have tried many ways to create a view port in paper space and annotation several dimensions. I constantly get different text sizes and ext line scaled differently within the same view port.....even after I have locked it.
I am also confused about notating dims in the model space within the paper space view port vs on the paper space outside of the model space view port? Perhaps this has something to do with my issues?
Again it may be because I don't understand another function/setting impacting this well enough yet?? I have tried/used every variable in the Dimension Style Manager on the Lines, Text and Fit tabs to no avail.
I want to determine the size of a (non-dynamic non-annotative) block definition (BlockTableRecord). Does a block have a boundry or limits? For example, if the block would contain a simple square, the size of the block would be equal to the size of the square.
View 4 Replies View Relatedonce i was reading an adobe pdf "How to get better performance in photoshop cs5" - that was in 2009 or 2010, and may be outdated, but there was a calculation method to determine the size of a scratch disc. (similar calculation see below, if i can remember right)
i am asking myself, how can i determine the correct size of an external SSD-scratch disc, only used by photoshop (completely empty):should i buy a 128GB or 256GB or 512GB SSD which is only reserved for photoshop?
basic question 1 : i guess i should avoid to set the internal SSD as photoshop scratch disc, as it slows down everything?
basic question 2 : in sense of maximum performance: better buy an external USB3.0 or thunderbolt SSD? will photoshop really use the extra thunderbolt speed when swapping data?
secondary question:
can i calculate the size regarding my daily working habits?
i am mainly working like this:
- with my imac 27" late 2013 with 32GB RAM and 256 GB internal pci-e SSD (800 MB/sec), which will stay always half empty for performance reasons.
- OSX 10.8 mountain lion and 10.9 mavericks soon
- photoshop cs5, cs6 and cc (always without extended)
- 8bit and 16bit mode
- only RGB
- with latest phocus/Hasselblad and canon RAW Files which produce a basic .psb document at ...
- 10.000 x 7000 px at 300dpi
[code]....
i wonder how to calculate ?
for example:
10.000 x 7000 px at 300dpi needs for one image layer at 16bit: 2GB RAM in photoshop cs6 or cc (just as a number), this may be wrong so lets take 2GB RAM and multiply with 10 image layers in my .psb file (16bit) = 20 GB RAM, and multiply with 20 adjustment layers (guess they need less ram, for one lets say 500MB) = 20GB + 10GB = this 16bit .psb layer file would need 30GB RAM, so when i have 32GB in my imac, i set cs6 or cc to 70% ram usage, it misses at least round 8-10GB RAM > can i guess that photoshop would swap these 8GB onto my scratch disc? or do i miss something important in my thinking?

Is it possible to determine which nodes are expanded using the API?
I want to make some changes to the node information in an assembly browser but as there are many hundred parts so I only want to do the operation on the expanded nodes to keep any delay to a minimum.
Is there a way to use interference checks to determine what material needs to be subtracted away from other parts to get the clearance needed? (See Attached) The way I typically handle this is to project the lines from one part onto the sketch of another and proceed accordingly, however as you can see, it didn't work out well in this instance as the face of the part in question is not parallel with the sketch plane in the other..Therefore making the cut location inaccurate.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIf an assembly contains unresolved file references, when I try to open it Inventor allows me to try and resolve this with the Resolve Link dialog. But if I choose to skip all for whatever reason, once I've opened the assembly there's no easy way for me to see which sub-assembly/assemblies contain the missing reference. I have to expand folders, patterns, assemblies, etc. until I find the one with the little question mark next to it. I prefer to work with unresolved links in this way sometimes because it just makes more sense working with the model than a bunch of file paths and file names in the Resolve Link dialog. But it's nearly impossible with large assemblies where the unresolved links may be burried deep.
Is there a way to list or somehow see which assemblies contain the unresolved links once I've already opened an assembly?

Is there any way to easily determine if any file in a user's workspace is checked out from Vault?
I'm building an Inventor addin to clear files from a user's workspace. Before i delete any files I need to know if the user has any files checked out. I was hoping there was an easy way(inside of Inventor) to programmitically check if a folder contains any checked out files.

I am trying to determine the moment of inertia of an L-section using IV 2009. By selecting Tools>Region Properties of a closed loop profile in the sketch environment the moment of inertia is given, however the principal axes through the centroid are at 45 degrees to the toe of the angle (see attached image). I want Ixx and Iyy where the X and Y axes are parallel to the horizontal and vertical toe respectively.
Coincidentally, AutoCAD orientates the principal axes the same when viewing the Region Mass Properties of a similar Region.

View 7 Replies View RelatedSometime in the past, I've drawn an arc, probably using an old deedplotting program, and imported it into Map3D.
I now have a new parcel that I'm plotting, and need to obtain the tangent of an arc on the parcel's perimeter.
Typically I draw a line, as close to the tangent as I'm able, and then toy with the bearings until I get it as close as I can.
This is a counter-productive means of finding the tangent bearing of an arc, and I'd really like to find a better way of doing this.
Is there a succint manner that I can pull a tangent line off an existing arc?
Using osnap this afternoon I thought I could do it, with the extension, but in testing it later, I found it was off by a good 2 or 3 degrees. While indeed a minor variance, I'd like to find a better way.
I am selecting items and grabbing their DBObjects, and then reflecting on those objects to inspect properties of the object. For example, I might have a DBObject that is actually of type Pipe, Duct, DuctFitting, Line, etc, so I am using TypeDescriptor reflection to handle various cases in as abstract a way as possible.
My first question is this: Is this the smartest way to grab all of the attributes of a give object? Is there another call I can make the retrieve all of the attributes for a Pipe and a Line (to very different types of objects).
Second, when I see a property named Length and it is a double I know it has to be a length and that I can use the units from the drawing. Is there a way to programatically discover this other than the name of the property and its type (double)? In other words is there some metadata I could retrieve about any given property against which I am reflecting, or is there a smarter way to get these attributes which might provided said metadata?

I need to project the outside TOE across the berm (shown in the section view) then create a new featureline where the line and inside slope of the berm intersect.
