Front Axel -- Autodesk Inventor 2016 Tutorial (with caption and audio narration)

The Design of ‘Front Axel’ has been taken from Assembly file of 'Suspension' → ‘Sample files’ → Autodesk Inventor.
Rest components of the model ‘Suspension Assembly’ (consisting in several numbers) have also been designed. You may watch them by visiting on following playlist:- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKWX3xUP3pProQ20K3hW-qxzjEMXjaq-R.

Transcription of the Video

1. Create a new inch part file.
2. Create a new sketch over the XY plane.
3. Create a circle with specified diameter and coincident from the origin.
4. Finish the sketch and activate the Extrude command.
5. Click ‘Direct 2’ button to reverse the direction of extrusion and set the pre decided value of extrusion and click OK.
6. Save the file with the name ‘Front Axel’.
7. Create a new sketch on this face, take the project of the circular edge by using the ‘Project Cut Edges’ command.
8. Create a new circle with required dimension.
9. Activate the Extrude command, select the region and apply the suitable distance value, click ‘More’ option, set taper angle to -40 degree and click OK.
10. Create a new sketch over the YZ plane.
11. Take the project of the model by using the ‘Project Cut Edges’ command.
12. Project Cut Edges command helps to provide all the edges of model, intersecting the active sketch plane in the current sketch.
13. You can draw the sketch like line, arc, circle etc., easily snapping on the model edges.
14. Now the sketch is complete, so finish the sketch and Activate the ‘Revolve’ command, select the two regions and select the center line as an axis of revolution.
15. Click OK to create the revolve feature.
16. Apply the fillet on four inside edges of the part.
17. Activate the Extrude command and create a sketch on this face.
18. Draw a circle and take project of this edge.
19. Apply the distance value, click OK to execute command.
20. Apply the Chamfer on these two edges and click OK.
21. Go on the browser bar and open the visibility of Sketch3.
22. Activate the Work Point command.
23. Go on the view tab, change the visual style of a model as a Wireframe.
24. Click on the center point of arc, now the work point has been created.
25. Close the visibility of the sketch.
26. Return to the ‘Shaded with Edges’ view.
27. Activate the Work plane command and select this work point in browser bar, select this face.
28. Now see here a Work plane is created on this work point.
29. Create a new sketch on this plane.
30. Activate the slice graphics command.
31. Take the project of YZ and XZ plane by using the 'Project Geometry' command.
32. Draw a rectangle and apply coincident constraint between midpoint of the rectangle and center line.
33. Draw an arc, which is tangent to this rectangle and apply the required dimensions.
34. Finish the sketch and activate the Revolve command.
35. It will be automatically select the profile, select the center line as an axis of revolution, select ‘Cut’ operation and click OK.
36. Repeat this revolve cut feature to create on opposite side of the part by using the ‘Mirror’ command.
37. Create a sketch over the YZ Plane.
38. Take the project of this work point and draw a circle with required dimension.
39. Finish the sketch and activate the ‘Extrude’ command.
40. Choose the ‘Cut’ operation and select ‘Symmetric’ option, select ‘All’ option in the ‘Extent’ field to cut the hole through all body.
41. Click OK to create Extruded Cut feature.
42. Apply the Chamfer on these two edges of the part.
43. Create another hole by using ‘Extrude' command as previously done.
44. Activate the ‘Thread’ command and select this cylindrical face and give the specifications of the thread as per need to our design.
45. Change the color of the model as per your wish so that it looks good.
46. Save the file.
