k-9 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hey there guys it my first post. I Am using Inventor 2012 and I developing parts for my car. Im making a Equal length turbo manifold. I have the the flange and the collector made up and want to find out how many 90's 45's and straight pipe i will need. I want to use nothing more then 1 1/2inch schedule 10 stainless. I have been peicing them together on inventor but nothing is turning out right is there a way I can do a sweep in 3d that has the fixed radius that the schedule 10. Witch is 1.5 for the short 90 and 2.25 for the long 90 and 45. If anyone can give me some tips that would be a help. Did set up my own pipe running setting in assembly but is would only try to use 90's and of only one size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k-9 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 I have used that method but i need each angle to be a specific radius and when I turn it into a 3d drawing I can not measure the radius i would have to know what the radius would be between two different planes at the angle.

JD Mather Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I doubt it. Find the red End of Part marker in your feature browser. Drag the red EOP to the top of the feature tree hiding all features in the browser. Save the file with the EOP in a rolled up state. In Windows Explorer right click on the filename and select Send to Compressed (zipped) Folder. Attach the resulting *.zip file here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-9 Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Here is what i got just a practicing. Dont have the turbo. Its on back order. So i don't now 100% where the collector will be. But i want to make it equal length. Manifold v1.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Of course an assembly without any parts is useless - this should have been covered early on in your training. Just look at that file size. 74k I thought you said it was too big to attach here? You didn't follow my instructions to roll up the EOP in the part file(s). Why didn't you follow the instructions? An iam file is simply a list of hyperlinks to the part files and a record of assembly constraints - no geometry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
