iLogic into parts and assembly

Anonymous — Mon, 24 Jul 2017 14:49:15 GMT

Hi guys... i really need a big help here.

Im new in iLogic, so, sorry if i made some mistake, lets me explain:

I have a part here, with a lot of rules into a iLogic, i need to chance some values in this part and also change a part number too, with a simple code that i made:

'''7110012-01
If Lista=1 Then
ØA=31.98 
ØB=22 
ØC=50 
D=49.95 
E_=25
F_=85 
ØG=35 
H_=25 
L=153 
Z=60 
Ra=1 
Rb=0.5
iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number")="7110012-01"

So, in this case, if i only work with this part, everything works.

But, i need to use this part into assembly model, and i need to use 3 or more this same parts but with diferents values, here i have a problem, if i change in part, i change into assembly too, this cant happen, because this same part i need to use in other assemblies.

I will add my files here, if someone can help me, i really thankful.

All in Inventor 2018.

I would do the following;

- configure the original iLogic part,

- derive the original iLogic part out as a new part

- Save new part as required

- Suppress link with base component

- Sit back and have a beer!

If you ever need to change the new parts...

- Un-suppress link with base component

- re-configure iLogic part,

- RE-suppress link with base component

- Have another beer!

All the best.

It's hard to understand what you want to achieve from the assembly. Do you want to add parts to the assembly by specifying the corresponding 'LinkLista' number?

Hi.. i really cant understand....

I use only my ilogic part, then i need to "export" using Manage > Make Part?

I try to insert Ilogic Part into assembly, but i cant change my part, and if i use this method i cant find either a link with a original one.

Perhaps i'm looking in the wrong way...

Hi... this part is a one of 5 or 6 operations that i need to use in a assembly machine, so, i need to use this same part with other parameters in the same assembly 5 ou 6 times, this i need to use in others assemblies.

I use quite a few iLogic driven Assemblies, often having to use multiple configurations in one file. The trick here is to not place the original iLogic part/assembly in to your target assembly.

I have two ways of dealing with these problems;

First method;

Note; This assumes you have neutralised the part names in the model tree browser; ie 'Part:1' is re-named to 'Part'. This essentially means the file can be called what ever you want, but the model browser keeps the same name and any iLogic references will remain intact.

1. Start my new assembly file

2. Place in my iLogic assembly

3. Configure my assembly how I need it

4. Copy assembly

5. Re-name any files with a prefix or suffix

6. Suppress any dervied links (A lot of my parts/assemblies are skeletal driven, making life a lot easier in the end game)

7. Repeat for other configurations.

Second Method;

1. Configure your iLogic assembly.

2. Start a new part file and select derive from 'Create' Tab.

3. Navigate to your iLogic file and select

4. Derive it as multibody solid.

5. Save new part and place in to your main assembly project.

6. On new derived part, Suppress link with base component.

7. Repeat for other configs.

If you need the individual parts for these derives, you can then use the 'Manage' tab, and 'Make components' from there.

Hope this helps,

Regards
