Uniting components in an assembly.
Uniting components in an assembly.
(OP)
Hi:
I was wondering if anybody knew how to join components in an assembly, the reason of this is because, inventor cannot do a FEA in assemblies or various components so I was planning on joining all the parts in an assembly to make it a single .ipt and then apply the forces and see the FEA.
Thanks

I did what you said but now the problem is that inventor import's the assembly as a composite a single composite, and in the stress analysis menu it does not let me do anything, all the buttons appear disabled, do you know a workaround for this?
thanks

Now that being said; IV2010 does do FEA on Assemblies and either way you spin what you are doing it is not an exact representation of FEA on an assembly but may give you a good idea of your design intent.

I'll bet money that it is a hardware problem or some software other than Inventor that is causing the problems. What does your VAR say about your install?

I also used to wait for service packs but stopped when 2008 came out and have not had more than 2-3 crashes a year.
I also run a good cleanup/refresh of my computer before each install. Run virus,run spyware,defrag, delete temp files, update all drivers including bios flash,etc...
Autodesk has indicated a large majority of crash reports are submitted because of graphics card issues...
