I am fairly new to inventor, but have used Pro E (creo)
What I am trying find a way to do is to take a variety of sheet metal parts and layout the flat patterns for the parts in a way that can be exported to .dxf and fed into our plasma table. Currently I am creating an Inventor drawing (.idw)...
One of the machine shops we work with uses Virtual Gibb CAM software and does not like the way the models I create come into Virtual Gibb. Circular holes come in as 2 halve cylinders. I am sorry I don't have any other specific reasons why he doesn't like the way the models import into his...
So I have been having problems when creating flexible tubes with the piping and cabling extension. Quite frequently the tube will loop back around on its self or have a strange bulge in a section that should be strait. This typically happens in areas where I am trying to create a strait section...
So this has happened to me several times now and I haven't been able to find information about it. While running the status of the study will change from running to failed, but the model will continue to run and does not report an error in any of the logs. after the run is complete the status...
I have two piston cylinders one of which will contain hydrazine (N2H4) and the other nitrogen tetroxide. Both pistons will be pressurized to 1500 psia and need to have a high precision bore. Currently I am looking at coating the cylinders with Xylan 1010 which to my understanding is a resin...
I am currently working on a large assembly with many sub-assemblies that was originally created by someone else. My problem is that one of the parts changes definition and position when I regenerate in the main assembly or sub-assemblies. So here are the steps I go through to cause the part to...
I am currently looking at using a garolite tube in a piston assembly and need some information about garolite as a material. The shaft is 1/2 inch in diameter and needs make a seal with a 1500psi gas pressure difference. Having never worked with garolite before I am wondering what the surface...
I am currently trying to model a square vacuum chamber that is constructed out of a square tubular frame with plates bolted to the sides. I am using screw fasteners to attach the plates and the frame in mechanica, but when I start AutoGEM it immediately fails with the error
--The requested...
