snakajack Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Hi, I'm a beginner using Inventor, and I would please like to know how to place several diffrent sized spheres inside a spring. I would also like to animate it and have the spheres falling out of the spring as it is extended. I have been able to model and animate the spring stretching on its own, but can't seem to do the rest. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Hi Snakajack If you choose a good descriptive title, you'll find you're more likely to get a quicker response :wink: (besides, we like our threads to be easily searchable in the future ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shift1313 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Are you trying to do this in Inventor Studio or in Dynamic Simulation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakajack Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 Are you trying to do this in Inventor Studio or in Dynamic Simulation? I have tried studio but could only get the spring stretching, I can't seem to set other parameter for the balls to fall out in studio. It only gives an option to change the radius of the balls.

shift1313 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 in studio you have to Animate Component. You will either need to manually drag them or give them coordinates to move to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
