Then select “Show Parameters”.Ĭheck the Parameter(s) that are intended to be used and click ok. The copy in this case simply changes the Analysis so that we will be able to use the Parameter Table in the Analysis.īefore activating, we need to select our renamed variables this is done by expanding the Assembly node in the Browser and selecting a link.
Since our concern is primarily the links, we rename the link parameter accordingly.Īfter renaming, the Analysis Environment is activated and we can use the original set or create a copy of it. Renaming allows the user to easily select the correct variable that will be used in the Analysis. It is good practice that before the study is started to go back into the modeling environment to rename the parameters that are intended to be used in the study. Preparations for Parametric Dimension Study It should be noted that a Single Point is not necessary but provides a good yard stick to get a sense of what kind of results can be obtained. Finally, we Mesh the model and run the Simulation.Įxamining the results, we now can take the next step and preform a variant study using the “Parametric Dimension” option. We also add the Gravity component to our load in the correct vector direction. In our experiment, we apply a value of 200 Lbf (Pounds Force) to simulate the weight. The Bucket’s bottom has the required Force applied to it to simulate the weight of the material (Liquid or Solid) that it will contain. The Hanger is the suspension component and receives a Fixed Constraint to simulate it fastened to the ceiling. The Tolerance is also adjusted (0.5 in) to ensure that all relevant surfaces are evaluated and the contacts established.Īfter the Contacts have been applied, the remaining portions of the normal setup can be applied. Since this Assembly requires “Point and Line”, contacts - due to the chain links contacting each other - Bonded is inappropriate.īy changing the Type to Sliding/No Separation, the links will react in the correct manner in the Analysis.
The process is the normal setup procedure within Inventor’s Simulation Environment to performance an Assembly Analysis. We will start by doing a Single Point analysis.
