Animate a 4 Bar Linkage Assembly in Autodesk Inventor using Rotational and Cylindrical Joints

[@dalerbaimukhambetov9571]

Wow, THE BEST tutorial out there! Keep it up!

[@BrianBernardEngineering]

thank you so much. I will.

Finally, I found a video to help me animate a rather complex Parallelogram containing 12 components and 16 pivot points. Thanks.

[@BrianBernardEngineering]

You're welcome. If you need to do other types of joints besides simple rotations, I made another video covering surface-surface contact and other similar constraints kzbin.info/www/bejne/ml7Zd2OBbM13b9k

Thank you Brian. you are a great teacher! Great tutorial.

[@BrianBernardEngineering]

You're welcome :)

Good tute, well-narrated. Love the furry tail whipping around behind your mic 😁

[@BrianBernardEngineering]

Yep, thats TA Indiana. He's always helping. Couldnt do it without him.

[@Vincent57221]

This is fantastic. I've been using Autodesk inventor, but today I've learnt a lot from on how to use joint mates..🎉

[@BrianBernardEngineering]

Awesome! Glad I could help.

As a student, I amazed about how You explain this tutorial comprehensively, with useful side tips and reason for each argument like no one else before. This inspires me about how to be great lecturer someday in a future. Thank You so much for the videos.

[@BrianBernardEngineering]

Good luck on your path to becoming a lecturer. I used to operate powerplants before i got into teaching, but am so happy to have switched, i really like this a lot.

[@dr.m.sanaullahsahar9859]

Indeed, very clear explanation. Awesome. Let me recommend your video to my students.

[@BrianBernardEngineering]

Of course, they are very welcome to watch. If you have the ability to embed youtube videos in your course's LMS, if you click the "share" button, then in the popup, you can select "embed", and that will give you text so that you can paste the video directly in your course website instead of just the link. That's how I put the videos in my course websites so they can watch it directly there.

thank you brian, my teacher left us with a project to construct a four bar linkage in three days without knowing what one is prior. he then left for two days and we haven't seen him since. your video will hopefully give me a passing grade. it is the end of the year. if i fail this class im afraid i wont get into college. this all rides on you brian bernard. thank you for this tutorial. with love, coley

[@BrianBernardEngineering]

The best strategy would of course be to pass and do really well in your grades. But as a backup plan ... apply to college now, with a transcript that only shows your grades through last semester, but not the ones for classes in progress. If they accept you now, they won't withdraw that acceptance based on new grades you get later.

Thanks for this 👌

[@BrianBernardEngineering]

you're welcome, I'm really glad it helped.

Hello again... How many types of animation in Inventor are there? So far, I've done one type: animated constraints. Is there not one called dynamic simulation? Does this not involve calculating real-world forces? Can animation types be combined into one animated scene? Hard to find tutorials on this. (I'm trying to create a rotational animation for the base of a robotic arm, and am having a crazy time doing it. Wondering what my options are.) Thank you!

[@BrianBernardEngineering]

Sorry, it's been awhile since I worked on more than basic animations, so don't think I can help. Good luck though!

@@BrianBernardEngineering Not a big deal :D
