Massives. Need help.

[Anonymous]

Hi.

I need a way to create massive with varying spaces between elements.

Ideally I need to input these spaces as parametrs. The number of elements also need to be parametric.

Could anybody help?

thanks

Sounds like this should be easy.

Can you attach the file(s) of what you have attempted so far?

I don't have any model.

Now I do each of instances as individual part.

I need any good solution. Seems you have ideas?

These are contradictory statements?

Attach what you do have.  Anything.  Inventor file(s).

I can't attach the file I work with. I'd like to find generic ways to solve problems of this kind.

I attached the one test part.

We need the ability to define any numbers of pins (parameter for that). All these pins are identical but they all are located with different offsets from the left edge. We need to have parameters for offsets (locations).

Perhaps like this:

- Small holes with Insert iMates in TestPart-Pattern.ipt

- Create separate TestPart-Pin.ipt with Insert iMate

- Insert TestPart-Pattern.ipt in new IAM

- Place TestPart-Pin.ipt in IAM -> RMB-> Use iMates-> RMB-> Use with all matching iMates

Hi! There are multiple ways to do it. I believe the most straightforward way is to use Sheet Metal punchtool placement workflow.

1) First convert the part your are working on into a Sheet Metal part (this is the least straightforward step).

2) You must have a group of features to be patterned. Edit the sketch consumed by the first feature to be patterned -> add a sketch center point at the center of the sketch -> Finish Sketch.

3) Go to Manage -> Extract iFeature -> select the group of features -> make sure you select Extrac as Sheet Metal Punchtool -> OK.

4) On the face you want to place these features, create a sketch -> create sketch center points with desirable spacing and add dimensions, similar to sketch-based hole -> Finish Sketch.

5) Insert Punchtool -> select the punchtool you just extracted in step 3.

Let me know if you have any question.

Thanks!

Thank you.

But there are some important needs:

- we need to have really fast detail!

- we need to control number of pins from Parameters!

I have the idea to have a list of locations in iLogic rules. But not sure, that we can create featers form iLogic using rules.
