I need to calculate the mass offset of an assembly relative to an axis. How do I reference an iProperty > Physical (Mass, X, Y, etc) in a parameter equation? I tried iProperties.mass, iProperties.Value("Physical", "Mass"), and just <mass> and had no luck. I didn't find any compre...

CAD Program: Inventor 2022 I need to simulate a gear train in an existing gearbox. The models for all the gears already exist and are highest level of detail. I read into the gear tools in Inventor, but they seem to be for generating gear trains from scratch. Remaking all the gears and re-adding the...

I want the precision and tolerance type of dimensions to match the model. The precision and tolerance type set by the style can be ignored or the style can define dimensions to inherit from the model, either way is fine. Example 1: I model a cuboid with a length of 18.5 mm. I add a dimension for it'...

What SOLIDWORKS version and service pack are you using? Also, if you switch from the FFEPlus solver to some other solver (e.g. Intel Direct Sparse) in the study properties page, it may solve: image.png That worked, thanks. Why was FFEPlus automatically selected if it can't sim this? This isn't a we...

Running my sim results in the following error: "The Iterative Solver stopped. Numerical difficulties. (Preconditioning failed) Please check model boundary conditions. No results saved." I've seen this before and it's always been a missing boundary condition, but not this time. I can't figu...

I created a model state to show an assembly instruction step (Instructions Page 1). The changes made to Instructions Page 1 affect Master and vice versa. I have used Model States many times before and this is a new problem. Recreating the assembly is not really feasible, so I hope I can undo whateve...

As you have noticed, IV kinda move away from the keyboard. I moved away from the keyboard in SW with a 15 button mouse. Left hand on 3D mouse, right hand on mouse. I don't have another hand for the keyboard. Right click at the end of the ribbon, you can get to Ribbon options. Go to Customize User C...

I am forced to transition from Solidworks to Inventor. Inventor is pretty good except for one glaring fault that massively slows my workflow: no shortcut for Search Commands. In Solidworks, I almost never used the ribbon. I hit "S" then rapidly typed part of the command or menu that I need...

CAD Software: Autodesk Inventor Professional 2022 I followed the steps here: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2020/ENU/Inventor-Help/files/GUID-CFFD2B55-A7FB-44F9-8B52-2DF68553F384-htm.html Command Alias Dialogue will not appear. I just want to n...
