Hello, I've got a question about the key generating function in inventor.
I'm trying to design some keys in a shaft for a project in working on. In that design the steel alloy I'm using is important so that the design doesn't fail. The only problem is Inventor uses some unit called "Allowable Pressure" to perform this calculation. All the material data sheets I've looked at don't have a material property by that name. Is this a material property or perhaps something else?
Are you checking the materials box and customizing the material?
The allowable pressure is based off of the ultimate yield strength. You would never want this to be equal to the UTS because of unknows. (its a safety factor).
Yes, I'm trying to make custom materials which simulate carbon steel alloys to see if I can get the design to work.
As for the the ultimate yeild strength this is good news since this is a common material property. Do you have any idea what a good ratio would be to use? I was thinking between .8-.9
