I am fairly new to inventor, but have used Pro E (creo) What I am trying find a way to do is to take a variety of sheet metal parts and layout the flat patterns for the parts in a way that can be exported to .dxf and fed into our plasma table. Currently I am creating an Inventor drawing (.idw)...

Thanks for the response. I have been providing him with parasolids becuase that is what he requiested. I believe his software is an older edition, but the next time I speak with him I will suggest we switch to using .STEP or .IGES.

One of the machine shops we work with uses Virtual Gibb CAM software and does not like the way the models I create come into Virtual Gibb. Circular holes come in as 2 halve cylinders. I am sorry I don't have any other specific reasons why he doesn't like the way the models import into his...

So I have been having problems when creating flexible tubes with the piping and cabling extension. Quite frequently the tube will loop back around on its self or have a strange bulge in a section that should be strait. This typically happens in areas where I am trying to create a strait section...

Thanks for the reply. I hadn't notice that the error occured when switching from the summary tab to the checkpoint tab, but that is when I see the error as well. Thanks for the help

So this has happened to me several times now and I haven't been able to find information about it. While running the status of the study will change from running to failed, but the model will continue to run and does not report an error in any of the logs. after the run is complete the status...

I work for a company that tests rocket engines so yes these cylinders will be used in testing a bipropellant rocket engine. Since my original post I have confirmed that stainless steel will work without any problems I just need to find a low friction coating that will not degrade when in...

I have two piston cylinders one of which will contain hydrazine (N2H4) and the other nitrogen tetroxide. Both pistons will be pressurized to 1500 psia and need to have a high precision bore. Currently I am looking at coating the cylinders with Xylan 1010 which to my understanding is a resin...

Thanks for the quick reply looslib. I do save before closing the sub-assembly window, but as you noticed, I forgot to include that step in my origonal post. There are a variety of simplified reps in both the main assembly and sub-assembly. I am fairly new to Pro E and have not done much with...

I am currently working on a large assembly with many sub-assemblies that was originally created by someone else. My problem is that one of the parts changes definition and position when I regenerate in the main assembly or sub-assemblies. So here are the steps I go through to cause the part to...

I am currently looking at using a garolite tube in a piston assembly and need some information about garolite as a material. The shaft is 1/2 inch in diameter and needs make a seal with a 1500psi gas pressure difference. Having never worked with garolite before I am wondering what the surface...

Thanks for the advice Steve, I was able to get the model working by simplifying some of the geometry near the screw connections.

I am currently trying to model a square vacuum chamber that is constructed out of a square tubular frame with plates bolted to the sides. I am using screw fasteners to attach the plates and the frame in mechanica, but when I start AutoGEM it immediately fails with the error --The requested...
