motor windings

I have been attempting to create  motor windings for a small centrifual pump.I found these 2 pictures of windings created with Inventor but i was unable to view them as files.How are the copper wires formed to get the windings like in the pictures attached.

I could only manage the rim in the Inventor file and not the wires

It looks like a wire is created and then patterned but thi looks like a 3D sketch is needed for wire and then circle pattern????

 

Any help with this would be appreciated

 

Best Regards

 

Lou

It would be nice if someone could help me with this part..even a guide on how to start

 

Thanks

The best would be to do a 3D sketch and sweep the profile of each winding. You will have carefull not to have a self -intersecting sketch. You might be able to create a fair bit on a single plane depending on how the winding travels from the front outside to the front inside. A work-plane might be able to intersect both long-axis of the winding.

Thanks Blair

 

Would i make a single winding and use circle pattern tool?

 

I can do sketches 2D but never done much with a 3D sketch...I know this a is a big ask but could you do possibly a single winding for me to view.I also understand if you are unable due to being busy

 

Thanks

Anyone willing to create 1 of these wires for the windings

 

Thanks for any help

I agree that exploring a part in Inventor does seem to be easier and faster to learn modelling techiques, However when one isn't availble or people are too busy to post one, I look around for some good tutorials.

 

For Modelling I start here:

 

http://home.pct.edu/~jmather/content/DSG322/inventor_surface_tutorials.htm

they generally get me going in the right direction,

 

for your need, this tutorial might help:

 Good Luk!

 

Edit:

 

Forgot to mention that I also look for models that have been uploaded to sites such as GrabCAD, people upload all kinds of models and assemblies. I found this one quickly seaching for Coil

I am currently away from the office at Autodesk offices in San Fran. If you post your rotor file IPT ill take a look at it when I am back

Yes thank you for the Windings file....i did a search of Grabcab and found the attached picture although it is a Solidsworks file...This Windings looks very good....would this be possible in Inventor

 

Thanks for the help

Yes, create one "X" shaped sweep. Circular pattern it and then mirror.

Thanks Mr Rdyson

 

I do not follow this "create one "X" shaped sweep".Please how do i create the "create one "X" shaped sweep" ?

 

Thanks again

Well, maybe more of a "V" than an "X".

Attach what you have so far and specify your Inventor version
