AutoCAD Inventor :: Display Density Of Materials Assigned To Various Parts In Parts List On Drawing?
Dec 9, 2013Is there a way to display the density of materials that are assigned to varius parts in the parts list on a drawing? I don't need the mass of the parts I just need the material density to show up next to their respective parts.
For example, if I have a part with [steel mild] material assinged to it (no matter the size) I need a column in the BOM on the drawing to show: 490.684 lbs/ft^3. "Worry when there's something to worry about."
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Restore Or Fix Default Materials And Appearances In 2013
Oct 21, 2012How do I go about restoring, repairing or fixing the default materials and appearances that come installed with Inventor Pro 2013? I have a stand-alone single seat installation. SP 1.1 has been installed.
I tried to create a custom library of materials and appearances by making a copy of InventorMaterialLibrary.adsklib and renaming it. I then added new materials. Depending on project, I get nag messages regarding template styles in conflict with the library styles. I'm also getting message warning me that the InventorMaterialLibrary can't get loaded.
It is my intent to create a custom materials and appearances library that mimics the as installed InventorMaterialLibrary plus some additional materials and appearances. The custom library and appearances need to be available to all NEW projects and MAY be added to existing projects without getting the nag message about style conflicts.
I'm also seeing a behavior where the default appearance changes from standard light gray to the first appearance listed in the Autodesk Appearance Library, the 1.5 inch blue tile. I suspect that's the reason I'm getting the nag message. How do I fix this? How do I prevent this from happening in the future?
1) Restoring default as installed material and appearance libraries
2) Creating a custom materials and appearance library to contains ALL items found in the InventorMaterialLibrary plus new materials and appearances
3) Preventing nag style conflict messages
4) Preventing the default appearance of light gray to change to the 1.5 inch blue tile
The machine I'm currently using needs to be ready to go in the morning.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Survey Figure Default Style Ignored?
Jul 26, 2013When bringing in some figures that don't match the figure prefix database in a drawing with a set default style for figures (settings tab>survey>edit feature settings) it is being ignored and the "standard" style is being created and used. Is there another setting?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Assign Mline To A Figure Style In Figure Prefix Database
Oct 29, 2013I am using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2011. I am wondering if there is a way to assign an mline to a figure style in the Figure Prefix Database. Ultimately I am trying to create storm drains that have a width automatically (ex. 12" SD would come in at 12"). Right now I have a single center line that comes in and I manually offset the line to create a width or I place an mline over the center line.

Jan 14, 2013I'm driving an Inventor GA using iLogic, within this GA are various guard sub-assemblies........... I designed it so that if the material for the sub assemblies is changed then the sheet thickness is also changed (eg, if alu = 3mm sht, mld stl = 2mm). Look at the attached, the grey parts are, in reality, meshed. However i do not want to create the meshed profiles so can i override the density (x0.7) using iLogic. I could override the mass by adding (0.7 x mass) BUT this does not update if the geometry changes (also driven by the GA.

Nov 28, 2013In 2013, glass density is 2.18 g/cm^3. But in older versions, we had that as 2.56 g/cm^3 for many years. Google results range between 2.5 to 2.6 g/cm^3. Why 2013 has much lower value?

I attached pictures of the chair to this message if that works.
AutoCAD Inventor :: FEA On Composite Materials
Jun 16, 2011I am running Autodesk Inventor Professional 2010. I use FEA a lot on steel and aluminum structures but was wondering if Inventor is capable of doing FEA on composite structures. I personally want to estimate the strength of some carbon fiber tubing but wasn't sure whether or not I would be getting good data from it. I know that composites don't yield and was wondering how or if that will affect anything. Also, if you can do an FEA on a composite, any solid website to get material properties from?

Jan 24, 2013I have successfully opened a STEP file from our Engineering group and saved it away as an Inventor Assembly. I would like to define Materials and/or Surface finishes for all parts. Why wouldn't the Surfaces and Materials synchronize between the Styudio's Surface Creator and the BOM Materials Control in the Assembly area?
I have found the way to define a new Surface in the "Inventor Studio" Interface and saved it with a unique name. Now, I would like to assign that Surface as a Material to the parts in the assembly ... and of course I would like to define numerous other surfaces and materials for assignment to all the parts throughout the assembly. Finally, I would like these surfaces / materials to follow the model into Showcase for presentation purposes.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Models That Have Optional Materials?
Jul 30, 2012I am lookng for a way to allow multiple material selections for a drawing/model
We have components that avaialable in both 304 and 316. We have seperated stock codes for each of the selections what I would like to do is to come up with a way that I don't need multiple models of these features. The deisgns are virtually the same except for the material change.
In previous cad systems I used a tabled system in the model that would allow you to vary paramters such as Iproperties or even dimensions in one model.
This elimated duplication of work includeing double maintenance for the models?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Loading CATIA V5 With Materials
Mar 25, 2013I am trying to load CATIA v5 files into Inventor 2013, which works great. However, the materials applied to the object in CATIA are not being imported. Instead the colors from the "Properties" dialog in CATIA are being applied. Is it possible to somehow maintain the materials? Since the constraints aren't imported either, I would have to reapply the materials for every position of this certain object (for renders), because adding the constraints in Inventor is too much work to be doing again.

Mar 11, 2011I'm trying to create a custom Content Center bolt that can be one of three different materials (6.8, 8.8, 10.9). The materials are stored in our Styles Library, and the project specifies "Use Styles Library = Yes"; so the three materials are visible from the Content Center Editor. The Material column in the Content Center Editor is defined to "Map To Inventor Property: Project.Material". Everything looks fine. But no matter what material I select, I get 6.8.
I've already got LOTS of parts published with custom materials and they all work fine, but the big difference is that these families are all the SAME material. I'm having problems with getting a family to use DIFFERENT materials. We're using Inventor 2009.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Bill Of Materials Varies
Jun 12, 2013I am seeing this "varies" message on certain items in my BOM but can't tell where the incosistencies are. The strange thing is that my part number LCVINYL is showing the correct length of material while the Unit Quantity is showing "varies". Normally this would make me think that the inconsistency is in the name only. Where should I be looking to correct this?
BTW all of these LCVINYL parts were created in the frame generator if that matters.
