IV 2011.
I have an assembly with a FEA simulation result. I can run a report and get the reaction forces and moments at each constraint. I would like to run a new simulation with different constraints and use the reaction results from the first simulation as loads in the second one.
Currently I do this by running a report on the 1st simulation to get a table of the reaction results. I then manually add those forces to the 2nd simulation. This takes time to type and the forces must be edited each time I re-run the 1st simulation.
Is there a way to use parameters to automate this?
I have tried multiple ways to have the intensity from our pointclouds show up inside Autocad 2013 with no success. I have tried multiple jobs exporting different formats from Cyclone 7.4. The file types I have tried are PTS, PTG, and PTX. All of these file read into AutoCad 2013 and create a Pointcloud. In AutoCad the pointcloud properties state that intensity values have been loaded, but when I attempt to view them the cloud stays white. I have also tried all the Shademode types in AutoCad. The intensity values from Cyclone appear between -1000 and +1000 values. The following is a list of steps I tried on multiple projects. Software Cyclone 7.4- AutoCad 2013 File types exported and imported PTS PTX PTG Shademodes Used All Standard Modes.

Currently I am able to click the "Import Model Space View" and then browse to find the file I want to import. It imports it successfully, but nothing appears on the screen. What are the steps necessary to make the point cloud visible? And is there a way to import several Model Space views at once so we can manipulate them independently in Cloudworx?

I am seeing a nonnormal UCSxdir and Ydir for several drawings with UCS I know is on world. See the above value.
It took me a while to realize it was because the drawing had ps viewports, and the viewport UCS was user.
How would I get what I would call "the modelspace current coord system info" to do this test.
I am doing this with a drawing not open in the editor, it is DBX style. If it was not, I could do all kinds of things to figure out if modelspace was on world ucs.

how to test to see if a drawing is already open inAutoCAD using VBA and if it to make it the active document?I have a VBA macro to open xrefs by by just picking them in the drawing butI need to test to see if the drawing may already be open to avoid openingthe drawing a second time in "Read Only" mode.

Basically I get this result -----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x
But I am looking for this --------------------x--------------------x--------------------
Not sure how to do this as I get an error message saying that I can only have 12 dash/dot entries before the text.
The plumbers in our don't want to see text that often.
Is there a way to simulate a simple tensile test in autodesk inventor. Let's say I draft up a 1" x 1" x 10" bar. If I input all of the material properties such as yield strength, tensile strength, % elongation etc., is there a way that I can simulate a simple uniaxial tension test on this bar? If so, how do I set it up with the autodesk simulation engine?

How do I set so that text is displayed at the correct size?

How would I test for duplicate handles in a file. If I select a cirlce from an xref and it has a handle of "E6" Then I select another circle from a different xref that has the same handle. When I use GetObjectId how do I specify which handle? Is there a way to give a handle and a file path and have it point to the correct entity or would I need to cycle through all entities and check for matching handle and file name?
In the end I would like to select an object, then store that data in a file and then recall that exact same object later.
I am currently using the following to switch to modelspace:
Editor ed = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor;ed.SwitchToModelSpace();
However if you already are in modelspace it throws the error: eInvalidInput
How do I find out which space I am in so I can avoid running this when already in modelspace?
Im trying to write a routine in VB.net based on Fenton's examples from 'Zero to 3D in 60 Minutes'. the routine uses a filter set to select all 2D polylines in a document then a test is needed for each polyline to establish whether it is a loop, which can then be extruded into a solid or it is a non loop, where the operation will need to be an extruded surface, or if the polyline is a non-loop.
So far my code will pick up every 2D polyline and try and extrude it, but i need to catch the non-looped entities to handle them with an extrude surface method or if self-intersecting polylines, to either drop them and not cause an exception or process them in another way.
What entity attributes or methods should I use to perform testing to establish this loop and non-loop existance of the polylines to achieve this. I work with both C# and VB.net.
I'm testing out a simple Block Table in the Dynamic Block editor and when I go to save the Block, the following alert pops up. Is there a way to "test" the Block to check all the necessary constraints? Or am I just suppose to go about this with good 'ol fashioned trial and error? Seems the block is working just fine so is the alert just a moot point?

I am working on an AutoCAD OEM based product. I need to compare two DWG files as a part of GUI test automation. What is the best way to do it?
I have already explored Compare DWG, a third party tool available as a Menu option in AutoCAD. However, the ObjectARX library used by this tool does not get loaded onto the product under test. It gives a linker error as follows:
AcRxDynamicLinker failed to load 'C:Program FilesFurixCompareDWG 2006frxc2006_calc.arx'
Is it any option to keep text righ-reading even if block is rotated (by AutoCAD command ROTATE, not dynamic action)?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have created a dynamic block which has hatchings in it.
In the block editor when I do a test of the block everyhting runs smoothly.
Howevfer when it is in model space it fails to keep the hatch boundary associativity. Even when the same dimensions are used as the block has as default.
Why would this be?
I am writing a external ilogic riule, which will iterate through all the referenced documents of the active assembly and write certain iproperties to a text file.
The code is below
It works in that the text file is created and it does write the iproperties. HOWEVER it only writes the iproperties from the active assembly
' go through all referenced documents in a assembly . Grab the description,title and part number iproperties
' and print out a list
If Not ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.DocumentType= kAssemblyDocumentObject Then
Return
End if
[Code]....
How can i fix this code so that it writes the iproperties for each oFileRef ?
Is there a way to attach multiple leaders to text or weld symbols?
At the moment i am creating the "master" note, then insert "empty" texts and TRYING to get he leader to align.(the other problem is if i want to reposition)
I would like to build an expression that I can use in a label at a structure in a profile view to show the horizontal angle change on the alignment at the structure.
Of course, in the available structure expressions, we do not have the alignment delta angle at that point even though I have a referenced alignment in my pipe network.
Our subdivision code has minimum drop across manhole for different ranges of horizontal angle change.
I want to create a label that shows the minimum drop required at a manhole off it's referenced alignment and I would like to see it on the profile view, because that is where the drop value is relevant.
This seems like something that should be really easy but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I even started looking at using the Subassembly composer to create a custom SA but that seems like a ton of work so something that would seem to be a common problem.
I need to provide a v-ditch with 2:1 side slopes at the toe of a 2:1 fill slope. The flow line of the ditch should be 2 ft below the daylight point of the roadway pavement section.
My problem is that the conditional subassembly seems to evaluate the height of fill directly beneath the attachment point of the conditional SA (pavement section daylight point in my case – “Daylight_Sub” Point code). Instead I need it to evaluate the difference in elevation between the catch point of a 2:1 daylight fill slope and the conditional SA attachment point (Daylight_sub). If that difference is less than 2 feet, I need to provide the ditch, otherwise I can just use the daylight slope for the ditch foreslope and the existing surface for the backslope.
how to do this? Maybeits as easy as using a predefined daylight subassembly that I'm overlooking?
Here’s my current assembly attempt:
And the resulting behavior. It is solving the 2nd fill condition when I would like it to solve the 1st fill condition:
I just made a couple of 3D squiggles and words and things as a test to see if I am able to share PNGs here, if it works I�ll try to make some better ones.

Also, while burning the detailed progress display continues to say "Video/Audio Multiplexing" through the entire process until closing the disc.
I've installed both current patches as well.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn X6, I select the Text tool, then in the docker or on the tool ribbon I set the point size to, say, 12 points.
But, with the Text tool still active, when I click to deposit artistic text, the point size changes to 24 and the text is deposited in that size.
Next time I select the Text tool, the point size shows as 12. But when I click to deposit artistic text, the point size changes to 24 and the text is deposited in that size.
How can I arrange for all artistic text I deposit to have a certain point size I choose.
If there is a way of testing the pens sensitivity to pressure in real-time. I can hear it now. "Draw a line dummy."
To be more specific, any tool that can test number of levels of pressure sensitivity that a pen is capable of. I thought for sure I would find some downloadable software somewhere but no luck.
I'm using a Bamboo Pen and interested in how to verify it is in good working condition and reaching it's whopping 512 levels of sensitivity and also whether I'm pressing harder then I need to.
I've created a successful FEA simulation in Inventor 2014 and obtained results. But I want to see the highest stress in a defined area that is smaller than the entire part (I have some stress concentrations that are throwing off my 'max'). Is there a way to probe an area instead of just a point? I'm tired of creating a dozen probes to find the 'local max'.
View 8 Replies View RelatedHow to create or how to set a one way rotation joint as a one way bearing will work on real life, is this possible?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm developing a program which runs several simulations and obtains the results automatically.
I'm using the dynamic simulation API created in Inventor 2013. For that I use the GetResultValues(ByRef values() as Double) method of the class DSResult.
I used the method inside the VBA of inventor and worked well. But when I wrote the program in Visual Basic Express 2010, the method doesn't return anything.
I share an excerpt of the
Dim odoc As AssemblyDocument
odoc=invApp.Documents.Open(testPath, True)
Dim dsman As Inventor.SimulationManager = odoc.ComponentDefinition.SimulationManager
Dim dssim As Inventor.DynamicSimulation = dsman.DynamicSimulations.Item(1)
Dim oJoints As Inventor.DSJoints = dssim.DSJoints
oJoint = oJoints.Item(1)
[code]....
The method GetResultValues(values) should modify 'values' to a time,value vector.
It works well inside Inventor, but doesn't in the program in VB, although it runs the simulations and does everything else right.
Today as a precautionary measure I downloaded the Adobe font test to do a scan on my fonts to see if any is corrupt. The test showed that all my fonts passed. 3 questions though:
1. Does the script work with photoshop CC?
2. Could I just delete the font test jsx file from the folder when I am done with the test? Or should I keep it there?
3. During the initial process, I was unable to proceed and got an error message "failed to get path for font cache files". As such I unticked the clear font caches to proceed. Would this have affected the results?
