How to import the inventor studio animation to autodesk showcase? i have created the animation by inventor studio and i gonna record it as a movie but then i found that the movie quality is terrible and its take very very very long time to proceed if using inventor!
View 3 RepliesI have an Inventor assembly that I am trying to open in Showcase to produce a nice render of.
I get this error, how can I determine what is wrong or how to fix? My assembly doesnt show any errors?

I need to Import a IAM file with Views and Positions to Showcase. I found several tutorials on this, but as soon as I add a position in Inventor none of the above are imported. Without any Positions, Views get Imported.
It's Inventor and Showcase 2013.
I've been working in Inventor Studio (Inventor 2011) & every time I exit & return to the assembly environment I receive an error message (refer attached). Plus if I don't move the animation timeline back to the beginning prior to exiting, my model will display in its finished position but on the timeline be at the beginning when I go back into Studio.

I have an assembly inside of Inventor Studio. One of the parts inside of the assembly has a parameter that I would like to animate. When I select the "Parameters" function within the "Animate" tab on the ribbon, I get an error:
"There are no favorite parameters defined."
This worked fine when I tried the same thing with only the part inside of Inventor Studio, but not when the part is included inside of an assembly.
For some reason when using the path option in inventor studio for camera animation the camera rolls for no reason?? I have created two helical curve sketches around my product, the outer curve is the path for the camera and the inner curve is the path for the target. Both curves are the same height and have 1 revolution. When i play the camera it works out fine untill it hits 1/4 of the way through and suddenly flips 180 degrees so now the camera is upside down, once it hits 3/4 of the way it flips back again to the correct rotation. If i dont create an inner curve for the target and place the target directly in the centre of my product with no path to follow the camera spins all over the place when it follows the curve.

When I import my inventor model into showcase it sometimes recognizes the constraints in "behavior" but it never will "operate" the constraints in "behavior". I have made sure the constraint name matches the name in showcase and made sure the box is checked to import my constraints.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a question regarding display problems when I import my Inventor assembly into Showcase and try to apply ray tracing. The assembly file is now missing some part and does not display at all. The assembly file is model that has been designed with frame generator however some of these framed generated parts just don't display. The strange this is they do display in other less desired formats such as shaded etc but not when ray tracing.

I have some Inventor models with decals applied in Inventor. However, when these models are imported into Showcase, the decals are missing.
I just can't find any info about this in Showcase or on Google.
While displaying animation in autodesk inventor 2012, inventor window get frozen. Is there any solution to this problem like onIdle event where we can do the calculation for what next animation shown?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I import an Inventor model to Showcase, bolted connections are missing the bolt. I get the washers and nuts but the bolt is gone. I can overcome this by saving the bolt part in a project folder but this is time consuming.
Are there some settings I am missing or is it just another item to add to the fixit list?

View 3 Replies View RelatedOne of the enhancements in 2013 is that users can send models to Showcase and convert constraints into animated behaviors, however, some users wonder if there is any way to select constraints which are within the subassemblies instead of the top assembly, how would you do it?
I have selected constraints in subassemblies but they don't become behaviors. The workflow allows users to select them, but they aren't converted into behaviors.
I'm trying to adjust some walk animations. But I can't seem to use the Draw Curves option on a biped. Not in the workbench, nor in the curve editor.
I do notice that the Z, Y, & X curves are all in the same lane (transform), while on primitives for example, there are suboptions for the X, Y & Z axis. Normally I choose one of those, and start drawing curves.
So, the question is: How do I Draw Curves in Charachter Studio's workbench / on a biped?
Is it possible to import a 3D PDF to Inventor? I have a .stp of 75 megs that is only 1 megs when translated to PDF.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created a model within revit architecture 2013 which I want to export as a gbxmL and open in the open studio 1.1.0 interface within sketchup. When I export the gbxmL model into sketchup it does not have a floor, and an error saying surface has two adjacent spaces which are the same space (warning repeated for each room), room will not be translated, and also surface has no adjacent spaces, will not be translated appears.
All spaces are bound to the floor and roof, and zones are correctly assigned, and the model has a location. There are no errors when the export to gbxml is to take place for analytical surfaces or for the rooms. What might be wrong in the way I have assigned rooms/spaces?
I'd like to animate a clothes peg - open & closing symmetrically. The model has been imported from Inventor but the whole reference & constraining environment is so different. The clothes pegs clip together & I want to show this in the animation.(youtube link below made using Showcase)
My best guess so far: create a dummy within a local environment & untick x & y rotations, place at 0,0,0 create a bone from 0,0,0 & link to the dummy move half the peg to 0,0,0 & link to the dummy.
Copy - rotate to form the opposite half - move to 0,0,0
Now I'm stuck - I want both halves to share a common pivot axis & open & close symmetrically. Next is to copy this working pair & move it to clamp to an independent copy.
Search youtube for PegoAC to see what I've done so far using Inventor & Showcase.
Look at the vifdeo file attached. I have not problem to create one component fade out (from 100% to 0%). But how to show the another component fade in (from 0% to 100%)? Studio does not allow fade from 0% to 100%.

I would like to animate and render a 30 second video of something similar to the attached assembly. I have been using Inventor Studio to apply animations to the components, render them as full frame AVI (800 MB files), and compress them with Sony Vegas Pro free trial (~120 MB).
The attached assembly is a simplified example and took me around three hours to model, constraints, animate, and render from scratch. Normally, the boxes are constantly starting and stopping and moving at different velocities. Defining distances and times is cumbersome especially since I need to be aware of the boxes' positions relative to each other so they do not appear to move at different speeds or overlap.
I think a solid modeling program might not be the best tool to animate loose components sitting on a conveyor belt. Inventor slows down and occasionally crashes when I get up to 40 or 50 boxes stopping and starting and moving at different velocities. I am inclined to think that 10 or 15 animated conveyor belts moving boxes with a coefficient of friction would be near impossible on my machine (modeling the belts similar to a track on a tank or a chain and sprocket, also constantly starting and stopping and moving at different velocities).
I haven't played with Showcase, 3ds Max Design, or Navisworks Simulate. Would it be worthwhile to try any of these to animate and generate videos?
I'm using 2011 pro. When I try to animate a positional rep in inventor studio, it complains that I don't have excel installed. (see attached image) although I do have it installed. I've put the hotfix on for excel, with no effect. I've repaired inventor and repaired excel no fix though.

When I save as image file I get option for size, of course, but no option for DPI.
I have a problem with Inventor 11 Studio. The reflection on the ground made by "XZ Reflective Gp" works in a way that when rendered, it shows a partial or cut reflection of my assembly, see attached .jpg file. I have not found yet where this "reflection depth" is regulated.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have two gears. In the assembly I have them setup to mesh correctly. I can drive the constraint on the pinion and the gear will follow it (some what). I wanted a better video of it, so I went into Studio. Now when I drive the constaint like before on the pinion, the gear goes crazy.

There is a rotational translation constraint set between the pair (= to inverse of gear ratio) that works in the iam, but it is like Studion ignores it. How can I animate this to show the gear mesh?
I have a robot that I am animating in Dynamic Simulation. I have Imposed motion on each of the relevant joints, and can run the simulation nicely.
The problem occurs when I "Publish to Studio" I loose all functionality and the robot stays still in the Studio environment.
I am working on a simple animation. A camera pans and turns from isometric view to a left side view of a mechanical device, which runs all ok and at a fairly reasonable speed. Now the next thing I animated, was an angle constraint. The animation moves a lever which in turn moves some gears, and then each frame takes about half a second to elapse (an very long interval when talking about video). The strange thing is that out of Inventor studio I can supress the angle constraint and move the lever (and thus the gears too) very fluidly.
View 2 Replies View Relatedwhy I might be seeing this error? I get this as soon as I select the "Constant Speed" option. I haven't input any other values yet. I've already set the "constant speed" option on the animation timeline menu. I also only get this error when this sub-assembly is inserted into a higher level assembly. If I animate the same components in the sub-assembly file, it works fine. What am I missing? There are no parameters holding these components in place in this upper assembly either, that was the first thing I checked.

Firstly is it even worth disabling things like Studio/Frame generator/content center in the Add-in manager if I never use them? I was hoping to at least reduce initial load time for inventor.
Secondly, do i need Win7 admin permission to do it? When I uncheck 'Load on Startup' settings in the Add-In Manager they just re-check themselves.
