Surfaces Feature -Autodesk Inventor Tutorial


Surfaces Feature -Autodesk Inventor Tutorial

In this video tutorial I will explain you how to model Tray. During this process you will learn Autodesk Inventor Surfaces features. We will create Surfaces with the help of 'Boundary Patch ' and Loft tools.

Driving Bolt and Nut through Dynamic Simulation

HD Link for this video

To do this we will have to give proper constrains. So let us start. You will need the necessary files to carry out the tutorial which is hosted on the link below:--


 
Create an assembly file and place the bolt part and nut part and give axis mate them. Now place a mate between the faces as showed in the video, this is done to place the Bolt at the start of Nut and we will drive it for 1inch. Some data of Nut and Bolt is also displayed there. Now suppress the mate given between the faces of Bolt and Nut, because Nut has moved to the required position. Now go to Dynamic Simulation environment. Insert the screw joint between the Nut and Bolt as displayed in the video. Fill 0.1 in the pitch. In the standard joints give imposed motion on Bolt of 36000 / second as displayed in the video . Now fill the Image value 1000 in the simulation player. Now play with simulation player. Now Nut will cover the 1 inch distance. That is all.

Animation through Autodesk Inventor - Driving pinion on a rack


Rack-and-Pinion-Drive-Constrain-View-2 Rack-and-Pinion-Drive-Constrain-View-1
 
 

Please do not turn off the annotations while watching the video.
 
To do this we will have to give proper constrains and through drive constraint we can animate a pinion on rack. File used in the tutorial is hosted on the link below:-


After creating a new assembly file and saving it first we will place the penion part. Because it is grounded and we want to re-constrain it, remove its grounded position. Very first we will mate the pinion's axis to the X axis of the assembly then we will mate the assembly's origin centre point to the pinion's origin center point. Now the pinion is moving only on the axis displayed. That is all for pinion part for now.
Now we will place the rack in the assembly. We will give tangent mate as displayed in the video. Select the outside solution. Afterward we will give 0 degree angle mate the assembly's XZ plane and Rack's XZ plane. Now we will mate Penion's Top plane to Rack's (User Defined) Work Plane 7. Now suppress this mate because rack has moved to the place which we require. Now we will give 0 degree angle mate to assembly' XY plane and Pinion's Top plane. Now we will give Rotation-Translation constrain between Rack and Pinion. First select the part rotates here it is pinion and then the rack it is important. In the distance specify 4.725 units. Now drive constraint the angle mate 2 constrain as described in the video if it is moving in other direction fill -360 degree or moving very fast fill less amount in Increment tab. When you will give the mate and it does not look like in video then try flush mate to get desired result. That is all.
