2.20 - Geometric Construction

We are focusing on extending our capabilities in 2D sketches and building out adaptable profiles within our sketches.

Getting Started:
Create a simple 1/4-20 Nut without threads in Inventor. Make sure to use parametric equations for the bolt diameter, flat to flat measuerment and the height.

2.27 - Parent/Child Relationships

We are building out a simple part that discusses parent/child relationships with features.

Getting Started:
Create a parametric box that contains a length, height, width and material thickness that is equal all around and no top. If the box height is less than 3", make the material .125", otherwise keep it at .25" for taller boxes.

Nut & Bolt
Create a completely parametric nut & bolt set. These should be 2 separate parts with similar equations. The nut should only have one input as the bolt diameter. The bolt should have the same and include a parameter for the length. When taking measurements for the bolts and nuts you can feel free to refer to the tables and find ranges of sizes for the hex heads on the nuts and bolts. This will help you determine how to create parametric equations to build perfect nuts and bolts from the tables. Make sure that the features and parameters are properly labeled. You may submit your part files for Inventor on Canvas HERE. If you are struggling, please reach out in the next few days with questions and send me parts to review before submitting. For help with IF statements, look at the Inventor Help, Tutorials or here or or here.
