I would like simulate this action or model this simple action I have in this sketch. It is pretty basic but I am drawing a blank on how I could see the max movement I can get with a 6" cylinder stroke.
Maybe more difficult than I am capable of, I could model it but don't know how to get it to move or rotate that would simulate the movement.
how to create a simulation of a part in a sub-assembly of the assembled design?

I downloaded some model from internet in .3ds format that contains a simple colors material library (no texture) that is embedded in the .3ds file.
Is there a solution to export a simple model painted with some colours from a library?

I need this tip because when I import this models with Relux I need to mantein some colours.
Illustrator keeps freezing when applying an effect such as texture-grain to a simple gradient, or even rasterizing a simple black circle.

It wasn't like this when i first started using the laptop but has started to do it everytime i try and do any of those simple tasks recently.

Take an inducer wheel for a turbocharger. It is a complicated component and very difficult to calculate by hand. it is spinning with high revs, and the rev limit it set by the centrifugal forces acting.
Is is possible to simulate a part with a crack in inventor 2013? A customer had a part made and noticed there was a crack. We were asked to run an analysis on the crack to determine how much of a factor this crack has on the part. Is it simply just a matter of sketching the shape of the crack and removal of material or ??? The part is cylindrical in shape and the crack goes approximately 1/8 around the diameter of the part.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to simulate a sprag clutch using Autodesk Inventor Professional 2011 (student edition) but I'm having some trouble keeping two parts from rotating together.
The flange of the driving gear sits inside the clutch hub but the two should be free to rotate relative to each other. However, when I simulate the rotation of the gear, the clutch rotates with it as well. I can sort of simulate the desired behavior by adding a torque to the clutch but I don't think this should be necessary.
I can't attach the files because they're too large but I'm hosting them here: [URL]...... and here: [URL]........... The A4_Complete is the whole clutch, but for a simpler view A3 shows the issue I'm having.
Essentially Pink gear drives the Green gear, and the Orange clutch should slip on the grey flange of the green gear but it does not.

I am working on an application that uses map to query data, then saves the data to a file, and repeat. It works flawlessly when I use a commandmethod with commandflags.session, But, when I try to run the same code from a form button, I get "drawing is busy". The command from the form button ignores the commandmethod and the commandflags. I am guessing that "sendstringtoexecute" would work, but I would prefer to not do it that way.
What am I missing? Is there another way to lock the session?

I'm working on a little trackless train at the moment. I have a working model of the train going around a curve, but I cheated a bit, by constraining the center points of the axles to the curve, and then had the wheels angles based off the drawbar angles.
I have began working on a more accurate version, where the angled wheels are what drives the carts around the curve. Long story short, if you have a thin playing card in Inventor, how can you restrict motion in the normal direction, allowing the card only to translate tangentially no matter how it is orientated in the model space?
Constraints are all based on relationships between two parts. Is there such a thing as restricting a part's movement in certain directions? The reason I ask, is I would like the wheels to follow the direction they are oriented (not being dragged in a normal direction, something resembling slip motion).
Essentially, I would like to do this without using contact friction between the ground and the wheel (which is what actually makes the wheel follow the direction of its orientation in real life).
I have a question about limiting movements. In real life, when you close a door it stops as soon as it hit its frame. I want to do the same in Inventor.

I tried a polar stretch pair, with two rotation pairs, but am lost. The stretch is easy, but does not rotate the arrows to stay aligned to the line. I don't actually have arrows, but most know the behavior of aligned dimensions. I don't have extension lines though, like the dim would so ignore that part.

I have one problem and I would like to get your opinion how I could solve this.
I can't share models I have problem with, but I made another with the same problem.
I have two parts - one with slot, another with "pin". How to constrain the "pin" to always move in slot?
I had some ideas but non of them worked for me:
1. Use the Transitional constrain came first in mind, but it gives unsuspected results in this situation. Pin part is jumping around and ends up contrained in another place ir should be.
2. Contact solver kind of do the job, but it works quite bad. I gives no control or accuracy (i can not control how much pin is moved out)
3. I even thought of point on 3d sketch constrain, but it can not be done
How you would suggest to constrain the movement? I hope I stated problem clear enough.

I'm using 3D Max Design. I am unable to move an object on the Z axis of the gizmo. When I attempt to do so, a yellow line follows the path of my drag. I can move an object up and down only if I drag by all 3 axis.

I have created and defined the material in Autodesk Simulate Mechanical and they are available in the material libraries in that program, but inaccessible in Inventor. It doubles my work load if i need to define the materials in both programs and also creates hassles if a change needs to be made to a single material.
The materials are currently saved in .mlb library files. Iventor requests a .asklib file for when trying to add a library.
Since I updated to Inventor 2013, every time I try to print an idw as a pdf, it prompts Windows to configure Navisworks Simulate. Message says the feature is on a CD-ROM or removable disk that is not available. The odd thing is Navisworks Simulate is already on my computer as part of the Inventor 2013 installation. Should I reinsert the CD that has Navisworks on it? If I just keep hitting cancel it eventually gets to the pdf creator and everything works fine then.I am thinking of uninstalling the Navisworks.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am have a model of a scoop that I would like to animate to show motion and check for interference and clearance.I was told by a friend the best way to create and assembly is to create it as it would be built.
Doing this, I created the cylinders and added to them to the main assembly as an assembly, but I am having trouble controlling movement. I checked off flexible for each cylinder but using the mouse to try and position the scoop bucket and front frame is undesirable. I know I could apply mate constraints to check for clearances and movements, But seeing the scoop move in a regulated motion would be need. Could possibly be used for marketing purposes as well.
Is using dynamic simulation or studio better? I have heard good things about the Wasim Younis Series - book
Does his books get into how a model should be assembled/created before trying simulations?The boom moves off yellow cylinder and the bucket moves off the red cylinderA 4 way joystick controls this movement (hydraulically), is it possible to simulate a joystick to control this animation?
The blue cylinder is controlled by a 2 way valve, that steers the front frame.I know uploading a model is the best way to get fast accurate solutions, however this model is currently over 200 parts, so I figured a .DWF export was the easiest way to give you a visual representation.

In an assembly we can set driven constraints to drive parts etc.. or we can set the contact solver to show contacts.
Is it possible to set something like a driven constraint but so it is flexible between the set parameters?
when creating designs i like to move stuff around with the mouse to see how it works and the potential problems that might arise etc.. however i would like to still move stuff around with the mouse but restrict the movements with constraints.
so if you have a hingy flappy thing, the constraints would be set so it can rotate round the hinge as required but also an angular constraint could be set do it would work between set angles, say 0 to 50 degrees and if it gets to the limit it stops?
Is this possible, I think it would be very useful?
I have an assembly of a rod in a cylinder. When compressed, this rod sticks out 10mm from the cylinder. When extended, this rod sticks out 50mm. I am trying to create a drawing which shows the compressed state and extended state together.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhy is it that when you create the first constraint between any two components, the secondary component moves not only to satisfy the constraint, but also in ways that have nothing to do with the constraint. This is not occasional behavior, it happens every time.
I always have to stop and move the secondary component back out of the way to get to the other features I need to reference to continue.
