AutoCAD Inventor :: Physical / Mass Properties
Nov 8, 2011I have recently made a bucket for chain (linked) and was looking to put the chain in the bucket for visual purposes and to see if the capacity of the bucket is correct.
I can get the chain linked together, however when rotated round it passes through another piece of chain.
Is there a way in inventor to tell a part/assembly of it’s physical/mass properties? I know you can make something mild steel and get weight etc, however if not constrained it still passes through as if it’s a ghost.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Mass Properties Will Not Display In Text Box
Jul 9, 2012I'm having trouble getting mass properties of an assembly to display in an .idw. I've tried it 2 diffent ways, custom properties-model "Totalmass" where I type the mass and physical properties-model "mass" where it's automatic with update.. Nothing shows, not even N/A, but in another idw (different assembly) it works. Both text boxes are saved within a sketch that is part of a template. Both idw's use the same template. If I place text on the drawing it self it works.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Mass Properties Recalculated When Use Feature In IAM
Nov 21, 2013To get net weight of my parts i have one template that uses the volume x density and to get the gross weight I use the real dimensions of the item (a rectangular plate without any cutting, e.g.) and then calculate x density, this way i can get both weights, and how in the most of times I need the gross, I overwrite the MASS PROPERTIES of each part with my gross weight. It works fine because all the assemblies sum the MASS of each part (that is over writed by the gross weight).
Now my problem:
In many cases when I need to use the same part many times with just a few of different details, instead of copy the part and change it, I use the same part, and in the IAM I use one feature to make this part different (like a chamber, small extrudes or even holes). But now I realized when I do this (feature in the IAM), it doesn't sum all the MASS properties of each individual part anymore ... it recalculate all the mass with the new IAM volume (with all the features)...so, in my BOM I got all the parts with the correct gross weight, but my total mass comes with the NET weight (and considering that I need the GROSS, i got the wrong mass).
Is there a way to change the way that inventor overwrite this mass in the assemblies ? with Ilogic, or even some Inventor's option ?
AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Mass Properties Update?
Aug 9, 2012Is there any way to force an update of mass property values of a component from within an iLogic routine?
I am trying to produce a calibration chart showing the volumes of an irregular shaped object by taking incremental slices off the component and accessing the "volume" of the remaining portion, then writing the the results to an external file - All from within a "For - Next" loop.
The main routine works O.K. but the resultant chart only shows the original starting volume for each slice instead of the required reducing volumes.
I am a novice with iLogic and can only assume that I must somehow "update" the mass properties of the sliced object before reading its new volume on each pass.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Mass Properties For Parts And Assemblies
Jun 15, 2012I initially entered a few overrides for mass on some parts that I have included in a large assembly. However I now want the calculated values of mass to be used and not the overridden values. I go to the part file, erase my value, and click update and it now shows the calculated mass for that part. However in the assembly it still shows the initial overridden value even though I have tried updating it. How do I use the calculated mass values in my assembly?

Oct 26, 2011I am currently building an Iassembly and I keep running into this message whenever I go to save one of Iassembly members
It states " Do you want to calculate the mass properties for the master level of detail? if you select 'NO' Inventor will calculate the mass property for the currently active level of detail."
now when I go ahead and select yes or no, it goes ahead and places 4 BOM columns in my table with Default and Reference. What exactly does this mean? I keep deleting them and they keep coming back constantly adding more and more columns to my ipart table.
Since I am constantly suppresing and unsuppressing, adding and deleting components based on the configuration, I have to always be on another level of detail other the master detail correct?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Remove Iproperty Mass Unit String From Mass Value In Text String?
Oct 3, 2011I've been looking for a solution to remove the unit string ie Lbs, g, kg from the value given from a 'Mass' value in a text string.
As you may all know, creating text and having a 'physical property - mass' value...the unit string is there...
Lots of people on here have the problem...no-one has got a solution.
Until now...
Basically...open the part you need to get the mass property of in your text string.
Follow the instructions on this webpage...this is the first part...
[URL]
Basically, this creates a Mass property value in the parameters table that you can call on as a text parameter.
It's similar to the custom iproperty model - mass but NOT the same.
Once you have done this, you can go to the drawing of the part and create a text string in the drawing and call it up as shown in this procedure. BUT it still has the unit string.
Here's the best bit that you want to know...
To get RID of the unit string...open up the part again from the drawing...click on the parameter icon...find the user parameter...in the Nominal value column, right click on the value and you get a pop-up that gives you 3 options...
Custom Property Format, Make Multi Value & Delete Parameter.
Click on Custom Property Format.
The pop-up window comes up...showing you the property type...in my case...the 4 left columns read Text, g (grams), Format & Precision...
On the right hand side I have a Preview of the text...then 3 check boxes...Units string, Leading Zero's, Trailing Zero's.
Units string is checked.
Uncheck it.
Close it...Save your part...go back to the drawing and hey presto!...the text now shows the weight you require as a straight value...no units!

How can I get this bolt to stop once the slide block reaches its ending constraint?

AutoCad :: 2009 - Bolt Pattern Dimensions
Dec 10, 2013Trying to do some bolt pattern center lines. Been doing them for years and can do them old school way. But was wondering if there is a better ways. If you put a circle from the center of the bolt circle to the center of the bolts and change it to center the hashes never line up. So I always do small center line sections on each bolt hole. Then array it around to cover the entire bolt circle. But that gets time consuming. I am now doing a lot of projects with bolt circles and wondered if there was a better method.

Nov 19, 2013I am trying to draw a "u bolt" in an isometric drawing. I found one solution, that served the purpose of giving the customer the general idea of the stands we are trying to sell them, but I'd like to know if there is a way to draw it properly.
I have attached a pdf to show what I came up with. Pipe Stands.pdf The only way I could think to get it to work (look right) in isometric view was to draw to vertical lines, make an arc across them with the elipseisocircle, and then use the path array to fill the U shape with the isocircles. This keeps the tubular shape, and the number of circles resembles bolt threads.
My problem is that the u-bolt is only threaded on the ends, the arched part should be smooth. Since this u bolt is to clamp fiberglass pipe to the stand, those threads (in my drawing) could cause damage. In this instance, I just explained this in the email to the customer, but I'd like to find a way to draw it proper.
