Air Bellows

Air Bellows

Air Bellows

(OP)
Does anyone out ther know how to animate or manipulate 3 convolute air bellows from retracted state to expanded within an assembly?
Just to make this more difficult, the bellows will actuate through an arc of approx 20 deg.
Using Inventor 2009 suite.

Thanks in advance

RE: Air Bellows

Can you zip and attach what you have completed so far?

RE: Air Bellows

Didn't you just post this and get a solution on the Autodesk discussion board already a week or so ago? If not I will find that post as it was EXACTLY what you are asking for.

RE: Air Bellows

(OP)
Hi rollupswx,
I have attached files , one shows commpressed state, one fully expanded, (these models were downloaded from manufacturer site) and my crude attempt to show this air bellow operating through an arc.
I have tried to look at Yannic3 posts, but this was created in a newer version of Inventor, therefore not much use to me (i'm on 2009)
Regards
Ian
