Hi guys,
I need help. I am trying to represent a crimping head following the path of a 'chain'.
I have not yet drawn up the chain assembly, i have only used a simple representation until i find a solution on how to do it. I am using Inventor 2015 Design suite so do not have access to dynamic sim.
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved by JDMather. Go to Solution.
An assembly file (*.iam) is only a list of hyperlinks to the part files (*.ipt) and a record of assembly constraints (and a bit more).
You must include the part files.
Paul,
stp won't help us. JD is asking for Inventor file format, so do a pack and go to take all files in the assembly. Zipp them and upload them here.
In this case, I think, STEP is sufficient. The task seems obvious.
But IMO, there's no solution without approximation of the path through a spline.
For cases like this I'd like to have an option for stitching several combinations of curved and planar faces to a single face with no transition edges.

Don't drag the head too fast, or Inventor will get lost.
