Mar 26, 2012I have a blade housing that requires a continuos radius around the profile. It is not a full radius. When I shell the blade, it looks like the raidius wants to continue. I was told I had to use two fillets and the particial radius will not work. However, the continuous radious in the customers requirement. Is there a way to shell this part correctly?

Sep 17, 2013Using the shell feature. I have used a bit in the past and its always done what I want. This go around what I want is to shell without removing any outside walls, which it does no matter I seem to try. I can easily add a new outter wall back in, but if I can shell without removing an outter wall it would be just that much cleaner in my tree.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Error When Trying To Shell A Part?
Apr 22, 2012When trying to shell a part i get the error: the attempted shell operation was unable to solve for a vertex....etc. i have attached the problem part file, of which the drawing is a fairly complicated frame (a chassis concept for a 3 wheeled race car i am designing)
How the part was made:It was created in an assembly using the frame generator tool and then converted to part file using the shrinkwrap feature. When using the shrinkwrap command, i selected: single solid body merging out seams between planar faces, All hole patching, break link, and remove all internal voids. and then when trying to shell i get the error message when selecting a wall thickness of 2mm.
i cant understand why the shell feature does not work as i have successfully shelled a very similar part file (with only slight differences in geometry from the file attached in the same way as what i am trying to do with this part). i can provide this part file upon request or the assembly file from which either was created. i need to shell the component in this way so that i can run accurate FEA (stress analysis) for crash simulations on it
I am using inventor 2013 (64bit OS)
AutoCAD Inventor :: SHELL Split Game Controller That Will Create Bottom Part Of Casing
Apr 12, 2012For a while now, I've been trying to shell a split game controller that will create the bottom part of the casing. However, every time I try to shell, a problem occurs "Modelling failure in ASM. Redefine inputs".
I've tried to find the source of the problem through supressing features, and when it finally does shell, the casing creates another problem that will not allow me to loft to get the proper appearance.
Maya Modeling :: Give Shell Thickness Without Extruding
Mar 27, 2012I am converting over from Softimage (which I love, but is Windows only) to Maya for OSX. Is there an equivalent in Maya to the new thickness tool available in Softimage 2012 SAP? For instance, if one creates a sphere polygonal object in Maya and slices it, is there a way to give the shell a thickness (like creating a bowl) other than just extruding?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Finding Minimum Wall Thickness In A Part
Jul 10, 2013are there any other analysis tools available to find the minimum internal wall thickness in a part? I'm aware of the cross-section tool, but that only analyzes an area the user has already noticed. In a prismatic part with several cross-holes and features (cavities), it could be easy to miss a thin spot that could give up under internal pressure just by 'eyeballing' the part with Hidden Edges turned on.
I guess I could try the 'unground and move the part thru a sectional plane' trick, but I think it would be too haphazard, especially if the weak point is not thru a principal plane.
Is there a tool I'm missing or maybe something that has been added in newer releases? Maybe this is too much analysis to ask of a modeling package.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Thickness Of Each Of Layers In Assembly Are Generated From Part File
Dec 13, 2013I have an assembly in which the thickness of each of the layers in an assembly are generated from a part file that is split via a sketch. I use the Make Components tool to break the part into the individual layers, which also spits out an assembly.
Is there a way to push the thickness value of these parts that will update automatically if the thickness is changed in the parent part, in order to reference this property on the drawing?
Maya Modeling :: Design Table From Image - Giving Thickness To Snail Shell
Feb 1, 2014I would like to design the table from the image. I am having some problems giving thickness to the snail shell. I extruded it (wasn't that pleased with the result but... it was better than nothing) and tried to smooth it. The result was a horror because there were to many edges and maya took them as a height difference.
My question is:
1. How can i make the thickness better, without all the holes? (can i create edges between vertices)
2. How can i smooth the poly without making it look like a shell covered inside with spikes.
AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Formula - Measure Length / Width And Thickness Of A Part
Apr 26, 2012I am trying to create a iLogic Rule that will measure the Length, Width and Thickness of a part and ut it into the custom fields we have. I am having a hard time remembering how to get it to do it from the assembly level. I want to run this on the assembly and have it populate all the parts inside of it. The code below will do it for a part but what is it I add to get it to drill down into the assembly?
iProperties.Value("Custom", "THICKNESS")=Measure.ExtentsHeight
iProperties.Value("Custom", "WIDTH")=Measure.ExtentsWidth
iProperties.Value("Custom", "LENGTH")=Measure.ExtentsLength
Then I want to add this formula to the Stock Number iProperty = <Length> X <Width> I can get it to add the values but I can not get it to add the formula to the stock number.

Revit :: Change Thickness Or Move Walls In Project
Oct 29, 2013When I try and change the thickness or move most walls in the project I get multiple room volume warnings that pop up, in some cases 80 odd. These rooms in question can be on the opposite side of the building (60 Meters) and 3 or 4 stories up from the altered wall. So there is no way that all room volumes are overlapping. I've checked all the room volume heights, level placements and that rooms are all bound fine, which they are. I just can't figure it out.
I've figured out a work around but this can be a little time consuming and a little bit fiddly. Ideally I'd like Revit functioning properly and not have to keep reminding my team about the correct way to approach a wall change every time 80 new warnings pop up.
I have heard through the grapevine that this may be a bug that occurs in 2012 due to "internal disputes" we are unable to upgrade to later versions of Revit.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Making A Shell Of A Mesh?
Dec 22, 2012I am trying to make a shell of a mesh feature after I have upscaled it.
I do not think the regular shell technique will work as my mesh feature has hundreds of surfaces. So, I decided to open the file with my part in it and then derive the same part but a little bigger using the derive button. I would then subtract out the smaller, original, one to make a shell of the bigger, derived one.
Unfortunately, when I use this method to upscale, the 2 objects are not concentric so I cannot make the uniform shell that I want to.
I have attached the file of my mesh feature in case you want to see it. not that you will have to convert the object you see on my file into a base feature before doing anything with it. I did not because it would have made the file to big to attach.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Shell Command On Sphere
Aug 22, 2013I have a funnel with a curved top. I'm trying to project an inset of the border onto the curved surface and use the shell command to create a hollow funnel with an overhanging lip. I have projected the inset successfully, but cannot select the resulting smaller face, just the whole original face.
A similar problem that I tried while attempting to figure this out was shelling a sphere. 2d sketch -> 3d sketch project onto surface, and try applying shell to the resulting "face". However I can only select the whole face when trying to shell.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Splitting Sections Of A Tank Shell
Jun 1, 2012Is there a way to use the Split Solid tool to partially split a circle and have multiple solids after.
Ex) I would like to cut the tank at the 180 and 270 deg marks. Using the split tool still cuts through 0 and 90. I tried drawing a line from a top view that started from center going through 180, but it still goes through 0 as well.
I've attached an example shell of where I would like to have 6 solids after.

Jul 24, 2012The problem: a complex curvy part will shell 0.5 mm but not 3mm - some of the surfaces fall inside the others.
A work around : Offset each surace (individually - not quilt) then stich & sculpt.
A program: To offset an enclosed surface, individual face by face, internally. Then manually stich to identify any errors & patch accordingly.
Note these parts have 100's of faces so the code would be useful - not sure how to always offset the surface to the inside of the volume.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Shell Feature Causing System To Freeze?
Jun 1, 2012Having problem with a particular file crash/freeze/not respond whenever using the shell feature on Inventor LT 2013? I am operating with Windows 7. I have the AutoCAD Inventor LT 2013 Suite. Just bought the computer two weeks ago and just installed Inventor about two weeks ago also.
In any case, it seems the file of this model is corrupted, as I have never had a problem using the Shell feature before this and shelling other objects even while the corrupted part is open works fine. However, if the "visibilty" of the part in question is checked and i click on the shell button, the program immediately freezes. I am not sure how to work around this and I really do not want to start the entire part modeling over from scratch.
