Flexible Assembly

Flexible Assembly

Flexible Assembly

(OP)
Greetings Everybody..!
Is there any option  to change a sub assembly as Flexible Assembly in TOP LEVEL ASSEMBLY Environment ?
This option is available in SolidWork 2005.

I'm using Inventor 8.0.

Any idea?

Thanks

Regards,
Murugan.S


RE: Flexible Assembly

I am not familiar with this solidworks feature. What does it do? What are you trying to accomplish?

RE: Flexible Assembly

It's available in...R10 or maybe not until R11. There are a lot of new things since R8. BUT wait until 2007 version (in beta right now) to upgrade IMO. I would guess it would be out in the spring.

Thanks DesignerMike.

Actually Flexible Assembly means the sub assembly will be movable (flexible) as per its working mechanism.

RE: Flexible Assembly

You can do that in inventor r8 by changing the subassembly to adaptive.

David

RE: Flexible Assembly

As David said you can make it adaptive, but you can only have one instance of that subassembly adaptive in the assembly above it. AND if you have more than one of them, the others will move at the same time as the "adaptive" version moves.
I hope that makes sense!

Worse case scenerio you would need to save copy as for each version you want.

Thanks friends.
