Serial No.148 Creating hole on a curve surface-Autodesk Inventor 2013 (with caption and audio narration) ………………………………………………………………………. In this Video, we will show how to create holes on a Curved Surface using our Model ‘Strainer’. Click the following link to get the drawing sheet of the model: http://bit.ly/2o5IwIj Transcription of Video Creating hole on a curve surface In this Video we will show how to create holes on a Curved Surface using our Model ‘Strainer’. This is the model of ‘Strainer’ on which we want to create holes on it curved surface like this. First of all, we will enter in the part modelling environment by double clicking the Part1. We have already created Work Points on the curved surface of Strainer on the basis of a previously created sketch. These are all the Work Points, which you can see in the Browser Bar as well as in the design window. In the half section view, you can see it clearly that all the Work Points are landing on the curved face on the Strainer. This is the sketch on the basis of which all the Work Points were created earlier. A sketch of hole is required to create a hole on the Work Point. So first of all we will create a Work Plane on the Work Point that would be tangent to the curved surface of the Strainer. Take the project of Work Point and start the Circle Tool to create a circle of 0.03125 unit length. Finish the sketch. To create a hole on this sketch, we will use Extrude Command. Click Extrude from the Create Panel of 3D Model Tab. Click the circular profile. In the direction field, select ‘Symmetric’ option. Select ‘Cut’ option to remove the material from the curved surface of the Strainer and the hole is created. Turn off the visibility of the Work Plane. Now we will use the Circular Pattern Tool, that will replicate this extrude feature 80 times. First select the feature then the rotation axis. We will select the rotation axis as Y Axis from the Browser Bar. In the Placement field type 80. All the holes are now created. In the same way, we will create another hole on this Work Point. Same operations are being performed. This time we will activate the Extrude Command by just clicking the sketch, here you can see. The Extrude Command is visible there. In the second row, the circumference of the model has decreased, so we have to select less number of holes (i.e., 78 occurrences) in this Circular Pattern. In the same manner other holes can be created on the curved surface of the object easily, to get the desired result. Here is the finished Assembly of the Strainer you can see all the holes are here.
Creating a component in an assembly-Autodesk Inventor 2013 (with caption and audio narration)
Serial No. 147 Creating a component in an assembly-Autodesk Inventor 2013 (with caption and audio narration) This video will display how to create a component in the context of an Assembly. Creating a component in this way has many benefits. We can Project faces and edges of the Assembly in the new component. The faces of other components can be copied and placed on surfaces and many more things can be done. So watch the video to understand. Transcription of Video Creating a component in an Assembly This video will display how to create a component in the context of an Assembly. Creating a component in this way has many benefits. We can Project faces and edges of the Assembly in the new component. The faces of other components can be copied and placed as surfaces and many more things can be done. So watch the video to understand. We have an Assembly named ‘Mesh (Front)’ consisting two components ‘Part1’ and ‘Part2’. Now we want to create a new component named ‘Part3’ in this Assembly like this. The Vertical distance between Part1 and Part2 is 1.625 inch. We will start our work with creating a new component in this Assembly. The degree of freedom command shows that the newly created Part3 is not fully constrained with the Assembly. So we will apply a Mate Constraint between the Part3 and Assembly’s Z Axis. Next a Mate Constraint will be applied between XZ Planes of Assembly and Part3. In the following steps, we will create a loft feature in this component with the help of two sketches and a centre line rail. By double clicking the Part3 we will enter in the Part Modelling Environment. First of all we will get the edges of previously created components with the use of ‘Project Geometry Tool.’ These projected geometries are required only for reference. We are actually going to use these geometries in the developing the loft feature, that is why we will convert them in Construction Geometry. By applying Coincident Constraint we will properly position our geometry. Again unnecessary sketches will be converted into Construction Geometry. So we have created the required sketch now. Now we will create a New Work Plane parallel to YZ Plane of Part3 (7.625 inch away). Now we will create the remaining sketch on the XZ Plane of the Part3 that will be used for Centre line loft. From here we will change the colour of the Part to ‘Being Personal.’ In the next following steps we will develop the second loft feature in this Part. At present we are copying the outer face of the Part2 with the ‘Copy Object’ Tool. This will place a new surface component in this part. Now we will project this sketch on the previously created surface component with the help of ‘Project to 3D Sketch’ Tool. At present this 3D sketch is intact. We cannot use its one edge as a rail in the loft feature. So we will create a new 3D sketch and project its one edge in it with the use of ‘Include Geometry’ Tool. Repeat the same process to create the second Rail. In this way, we found our two separate rails required for the loft. Now we will create two 3D sketch profiles required for the loft. So everything is set. Start the ‘Loft’ Tool. Model edges can also be used as rails. So in this way we created our second loft feature in the Part3. We will now replicate this (Part3) 8 times at an angle of 45 degree by using ‘Pattern Component’ Tool, available at Component Panel of Assembly Tab. If you want to watch the development of other components, used in the ‘Mesh of Table Fan’ Assembly, watch our previous video named ‘Mesh of Table Fan’ (Autodesk Inventor 2010).
Rotate and Place components in an Assembly-Autodesk Inventor 2013 (with caption and audio narration)
Serial No. 146 Rotate and Place components in an Assembly-Autodesk Inventor 2013 (with caption and audio narration) In this Video we will describe about rotating and placing components in an Assembly. Transcription of Video Rotate and Place components in an Assembly In this Video we will describe about rotating and placing components in an Assembly. We have following components, which we want to place and constrain in an Assembly like this. So create a New Assembly File and start placing the components. The first component placed in an Assembly is always ‘Grounded’ and there is no need to constrain it. Now we are going to place the ‘Part8’ in the Assembly. To properly position the Part8 for Mate we will use ‘Rotate Component’ Command which is located in the Position Panel of Assemble Tab. After selecting the Part8, click anywhere outside the reticle to start the rotation. The component is positioned for the Mate now. Start the ‘Constrain’ Tool. Click this face and then this face. Now click Apply. The Rewind Tool is very useful to restore the most recent view or scroll through all of the save views. In the same way, other four Parts can be placed, positioned and constrained to get the desired result….. Now Assembly is fully constrained, there are no Degrees of Freedom that can be checked in this way…

This is our sketch which is named Sketch5 in the browser. It is 2 inch up vertically from this point. This sketch is placed on the Work Plane5. Work Plane5 is 4.5 inch away from the Work Plane4. Now we want to connect Sketch5 to the cup of the Spoon like this. For this we will create two 3D sketches. Start a 3D sketch from the Sketch panel of the Model Tab. Create 3D line and close the sketch like this. Once again create another 3D sketch in the same manner. So the required two 3D sketches are in hand which we will use for developing the handle of Spoon. Now pick up the loft tool from the Create panel of the Model Tab and develop the handle of Spoon like this.
