So you wanna make some frames, got Autodesk Inventor, no idea what the hell is going on? Learn Frame Generator literally as fast I can possibly teach it with this tutorial. I even cover how to install the content centre libraries, briefly! Because, this is supposed to be quick.

Dear all!! - if you're looking for a good computer to run 3D CAD or design software, you may then be interested to know that I have now developed and released the worlds most comprehensive FREE benchmarking test for Autodesk Inventor with a global online leaderboard. See the announcement video here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jsmbZs-n2rO2moE.html and check out the leaderboard here invmark.cadac.com/#/ - the test was 100% designed from scratch through to release by myself, Neil Cross TFI.

Fantastic short explanation!

Is there any default option? Or do we need some space and later at the plate as an extra ipt? Thanks

Adding custom profiles would be a good vid! I struggled for hours before I eventually got aluminium extrusions into my library! The frame generator is clunky but workable however I've given up with the cable and harness tools! Far too much of a headache to get results from, IMO!

I agree on the clunkiness and there are a number of glitches I've reported to Autodesk and nothing has been done about them. I asked what the development Direction was and got no reply that it was going to be improved. Neil, are you aware of the problems that exist in frame generator? Do you have any insights on what Autodesk might be planning or doing with it?

Can you use frame analysis on something you have already modeled or a full assembly

@zachdaniels8112 2 жыл бұрын

Does all framework have to be added to the original skeletal model or can a subassembly with a new skeletal model be created for additional framework later in the assembly process? For example, if I wanted to model existing framework in order to make modifications to it, could the original framework be model in the top level assembly then create a subassembly for the modifications? Hopefully that makes sense.

@Neil3D If I have a 1/2" thick end panel Carbon Steel sheet with SEVERAL 4.75" O.D. Holes cut in it that is part of the equipment and I want it in the wire frame while i'm using the frame generator. Can I extrude the end sheets to what I need during the sketch process and when finished still run the frame generator and it show the end sheets extruded without it weirding anything out?

@jasonfoster4083 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, just a quick question. We do a lot of work with handrails and kee Clamps (connectors). Is it possible to quickly draw up a 2d sketch then change to steel tube. Internal tubes aren’t welded so would need to be a butt joint then in assemble somehow align the corresponding clamp to the steel joints. This would completely revolutionise how we design and completely speed up the process. Cheers Jay

This might be a crazy thing to ask, but what about curved frames? I can use the frameworks edges just fine, but drawing and placing frame members on a curved face, has been impossible for me. Curved on the horizontal plane, not vertical if that makes any sense. I'm using this method to make panels, but I need a support member that centered in the panel and goes from the top to bottom of the panel. As a bonus, I'm also doing this in an iassembly because I will need different panel lengths. The straight panels I've done work as needed using your methods so thanks very much!

@kingbillybob 6 жыл бұрын

I draw tube frames a lot, although most are not rectangular, and the people making the frame from my drawings usually do what they know how to do best. I usually draw the frame, and use the shell command at the end, although the vendor doesn't really care, since he knows the material being used. This actually looks like something the vendor might use, with weld gaps, and other features. I will give it a try, because it could be faster than my current method. I like how the BOM features work.

On my content Center tab it shows the Custom Family Default is set to "As Standard". I do not recall if it was set to "As Custom" before AutoDesk support got a hold of my file locations. this guy moved all kinds of things around and now when using Frame Generator some sizes are not showing up for pipe. But when I open the Content Center to edit and add the size I need, it's already there.
