3rd is different from 1 and 2. My problem is that I dont know how to make use of the automated compatibility in the design (via the Spur Gears Component Generator) for the 3rd gear.

I have created 2 gears with 'Spur Gears Component Generator'. How do I create the next gear in the gear train? (compatible with gear #2)

Do any of you guys know of a good link/website that describes how to calculate fatigue analysis and the principles behind?

My case: Cyclic repeated loading on an item. Can I use Inventor to tell me if it will break after a period of time as a result of metal fatigue?

...in Inventor (2012) that are aligned in the same plane and facing the same direction? see attached illus. The welding must be applicable with a Stress Analysis simulation. Thanks in advantage!

...I can do this manually on each specific line by right clicking -> Properties. But how/where do I change the default setting? Thanks in advance.

EngAddict - thank you for your inputs. I will try to explore and use the LoD function :) Do you know where to find information/guidelines/rule-of-thumbs (websites, links) about how to make "optimal" modelling, with the aim at getting smoother performance?

Any tips to make Inventor run smoother? (when editing complex assemblies and parts) Besides checking Option -> Hardware -> Performance I've heard that in SolidWorks you can make the parts "Light weight". Is there a similar option in Inventor? Thanks in advantage.

Im not sure what you mean? My problem is that I have made a part in SolidWorks(SW) and now want to open it in Inventor, and make changes to it in Inventor, but all I get, when I open it in Inventor, is a "Base1" solid that isnt editable.

Does anyone know if it is possible to import a SW-part to Inventor AND make it editable in Inventor? If so, how? (I have tried with STEP format cf. previous threads regarding this subject, but all I get is a "Base1" solid that isnt editable) Thanks.

mcgyvr, wjaroszynski, EngAddict - THANK YOU :) Design Assistant works. A bit tricky though that you have to acces it through the explorer by rightclicking the file, and NOT from within Inventor, to get acces to the "Manage"-function) Can you recommend using the Vault-function? (if so, then...

I would like to save a version #2 of a an existing assembly and its containing parts. Meaning when I edit parts in version #1, the #2 should not be effected, and vice versa. (When I use "Save as" only the assembly file is copied and it is linked to the original parts in #1.) What is the...
