Autodesk Inventor Basic Tutorial || Sheet Metal

Cover-2

(Tutorial Concept Curtsy – Default SolidWorks Software Help)

In this tutorial we will learn about the basic techniques related to Autodesk Inventor’s Sheet Metal functionality by modelling a Cover.

In creation process of this model we will start our work by creating some basic sketches utilising the constrains and dimensions.

After defining the Sheet Metal Defaults we will use Contour Flange, Cut, Mirror, Face Tool, Fold/Unfold, Flanges at different angle and Corner Seam Tool to complete the model.

Later we will generate the Flat Pattern of the model and examine the Extents of sheet along with Bend Order Annotation.

In the end we will create Drawing Sheet of the model where we will place Folded as well as Flat Pattern of the model along with Bend Notes.

Addition to this after successfully completing the tutorial, all of you can watch more videos on Sheet Metal by us to practice more and learn more…

Note:--
We have given sufficient amount of pause over the tool tip and command prompt in the video, so that they can be read easily…must focus on them to learn and understand the software in detail.

Chassis for Constant Voltage Transformer through Sheet Metal (SolidWorks 2014 Tutorial)

Chassis for Constant Voltage Transformer_1

Chassis for Constant Voltage Transformer_2

Serial No. 99

Chassis for Constant Voltage Transformer through Sheet Metal (SolidWorks 2014 Tutorial)

In this tutorial we would create a model named ‘Chassis for Constant Voltage Transformer’ using sheet metal functionality of SolidWorks in Assembly modelling environment.  First of all we would create some basic sketches and create a sheet metal part using Base Flange/Tab, Edge Flange tools then add some vents along with holes using part modelling tools like Cut Extrude, Linear Pattern etc. and later add some text using Wrap Tool. Further place the part in the assembly and create other sides of Chassis to complete the model. In the assembly we would also learn how to use Hems and detailed function of sheet metal tool like modifying profile of Flanges and Hems along with defining the Positions of Flanges to use them smartly.

Pencil (SolidWorks 2014 Tutorial)

In this tutorial we would create a model named Pencil. It is created in part modelling environment of SoldidWorks. We would just create some 2D sketches and use Boss / Cute Extrude Tool and Loft Base/Boss Tool to form a solid. Then would use Split line tools to cut its surface to give separate colours over the model. In the end using the Wrap tool we would emboss some text over its surface.

Bulb Shade (SolidWorks 2014 Tutorial)

In this tutorial we would create a ‘Bulb Shade’. We would start our work with starting a new Part file. Some 2D sketches would be created by applying Line, Circle, Points and Pattern Tool. Then new Planes would be added to create more 2D sketch and then connect all using 3D sketch. Then Surface Tools like Surface Extrude, Surface Loft, and Extend/Trim Tools are to be applied to from initial model shape. Later all the surfaces would be Knitted to form a solid. A revolve feature is to be applied to finish the model in the end. So lots of feature is covered in this tutorial…

Serial No. 220

Chain-Inventor Studio (Upgraded Design) - Autodesk Inventor 2013

This video displays a setting up of 70 chain links and 3 sprockets along a defined paths in Autodesk Inventor’s  Assembly modelling environment.  First of all some base sketching afterward some advance pattern, adaptive features and assembly mates are to be applied to set up an animation matching the real world scenario… Later the whole mechanism consisting of required mates are driven by using Inventor Studio functionality of the software……

Chain Animation in SolidWorks

As all of you know that I have created videos showing how to create a chain animation in Autodesk Inventor in the past and now a days working on SolidWorks and exploring its designing capabilities as well as my learning capacity with the aforesaid software. So I searched and found a popular similar looking animation done with SolidWorks.. I gave away it a try but I think my workstation is not much faster to run the final animation. It was not so smooth… hopefully in future I would be able to run this animation in my own way and make a simplified video so every body can understand when I get time…..

I am adding video transcription here so the people who are watching it may get some help by me in the meanwhile…….

Chain Animation in SolidWorks

 

Video Transcription

  1. Here is video how to create an animated chain in SolidWorks.
  2. The chain itself is just one single part.
  3. It is based upon a layout sketch.
  4. Here I have created some sketch entities and converted into spline using fit spline command.
  5. Then creating the chain link using the sketch block so it is easy to move around it and attaching the centre line to the this path.
  6. Then in couple of features make a more realistic link.
  7. And create a second link also using the sketch block attaching the centre line to the first link and also to the path.
  8. And then create the second link with given other features.
  9. Then using a curve driven pattern with this first link it’s a body, and remember to uncheck the merge result for the second link so we have two or several multi bodies.
  10. And create the second curve driven pattern with a second link and that is because it will take to corner in a much better way.
  11. Then we move the chain into an assembly.
  12. Create a new part as a block and supress everything but the sketch path.
  13. Attach this block using the path mate.
  14. Here use the percentage and one edge is only needed.
  15. And then in the animation create it to from 0 to 100 percent.
  16. Here is a 5 second animation and test that block will move around in a smooth speed around this path.
  17. And that’s it now it can attach to first link going through to sketch and using sketch relation to this block the vertex the edge is here should be attached to the first link that will push around the chain link around the path.
  18. And that’s it now we can unsuppress everything and the chain will update on the position of this cube the help geometry.
  19. We also add some chain wheels using tool box and also adjust their position so it will start in between wheels.
  20. Some dimensions to look out for, do this before this animation is to check some dimension about the distance from the chain into the centre and measure using centre to centre that distance and also the distance between the links from the chain wheel that is the another dimension to look out for.
  21. And that basically it …..attached so everything will rotate the chain wheels and also attaching a motor with a correct speed of the chain and just saved animation I often between 30 to 50 frames per second for a smooth animation and that’s it.
  22. And now the chain will update and you have a realistic chain animation.

The newly created new animation on chain by us can be watched on following link….

Autodesk Inventor Basic Tutorial || Link of Chain

Link-Chain

In this tutorial we would learn about the basic techniques of Autodesk inventor by modeling a Link of a chain. In creation process of this model we would learn starting a new part by selecting a specific template, then basic sketching like creating Line, Circles etc. applying sketch constrains and dimensions to create a parametric sketch. Later we would learn about Extrude, Fillet and Mirror tools. Controlling the appearance of the model and lightning setting is also displayed.

We have used this Chain Link in one of our previous animation tutorial which can be found on following link……

We have given sufficient amount of pause over the tool tip and command prompt in the video, so that they can be read easily…must focus on them to learn and understand the software in detail.
