Curved spring tutorial, it's adaptive too! | Autodesk Inventor

An Autodesk Inventor tutorial on how to model a proper adaptive curved spring/coil, using the freely available Inventor sample files. This is not a rigid spring using bend part, this method will allow a curved spring to compress and stretch.

Absolutely the best Inventor tutorials. You make learning fun and you are hilarious. Thank you Sir!

[@patrickmcneely7388]

The absolute best CAD tutorials I have found. I really appreciate what you do.

[@ivanllopis5882]

Wow, that adaptative coil has been really impressive. And the function parameter thing with that way of creating the coil has been really imaginative. I take my hat off, sir. Congratulations! And thank you.

[@stuzman52]

Very nice tutorial Neil of an adaptive spring. Keep up the good work.

[@Njc451]

I was trying to figure out how to do this for a design at work. Thanks! I actually used this sweep technique to cut out from an existing piece to create a very aesthetically pleasing soiled look. Thanks again!

[@warrantyvoid100]

Fantastic as usual mate!

[@jrichlin]

Thank you for this, you make my Sunday morning free time my favorite time!

[@ventilara]

these are the scissors in a swiss army knife

[@nukegundie]

Incredibly helpful! Thank you for a fun video!

[@AttosGarcia]

Just loved it. Thank you much for sharing.

[@allangeorgjensen8811]

Great tutorial, I would never have come up with this solution :) Well done, keep it up!

[@martintaylor4666]

Fantastic! Why havent i found you sooner!!! Real bloke telling it how it is! well done!

[@Pascal-R]

You just blew my fucking mind with that plotTWIST.

[@wesco123]

I second HKV9s' comment. learn more in 10 to 15 mins in your most intergalacticly stellar presentations than I have in compounded months in "official enrollment curriculum"...or as I like to say "official stool sampling". thumbs up my virtual parametric master ninja friend!

[@igqfresh]

i wish my high school math teacher had your vocalizations, fantastic!

[@ruineves6279]

Thank You for sharing your knowledge, I am very grateful.

[@LunchboxSEQPests]

love your work !!

[@NathanKirton]

You keep blowing my mind! For others it might be basic but to me I keep learning something new every day :D I want to know everything you know! .... CAD related of course...

[@hunhs]

Thank you for this video, I learned alot.

[@rabik_dev]

damn i love your videos, mostly because of your personality!

[@onyxelite312]

YOURE THE BEST! THANK YOU!

[@mossengerayli8443]

Great work. thanks

[@emocollector]

You could add perpendicular constraint directly between arc and line, without any additional straight lines. Excuse me for my english)

[@Musicvibe881]

Amazing!

[@willblackler7605]

Great tutorial, I could get the spring to compress and expand but it would detach from the scissor handles for some reason. Using inventor 2019

[@Wbroach24]

lol thats how little the scissors were in my pocket knife when I was in Boy Scouts as a kid.

[@MrFrakyfriday]

You're awesome!

[@fudizhang8842]

commend before I watch. This is how much trust I put on u.

[@thomashansen1709]

Great work. Your tutorials are brilliant. I think the scissors fits a pocket knife (Swiss knife) :)

[@Neil3D]

+Thomas Hansen Yahhhh you're probably right but I like shouting at Autodesk! They need it now and again, even if I'm wrong haha Thanks for the comment too, appreciated!

[@TPhat91]

awesome :) thanks

[@gsdtdeaux7]

BTW those are the scissors in Swiss Army knives or those like it. Thats y they are so small

[@akosrupp232]

great vid

[@HKMV9]

I just gotta say that your tutorials have helped me grow way beyond what was taught in the CAD class I had - and for the record, still have. It's incredibly easy to make pipes and such for my drive-able steam engine with 3D sketches. Since the last part of this CAD course starts next spring, I'm pretty certain you've indirectly helped me get an A in a subject I haven't even started yet, which is just great! I did screw a thing up though - I added a thing as associative that I shouldn't have, and now the part is stuck in place - it's an easy object to replace, but for future use is there any easy way to remove copied, associated objects?

[@Neil3D]

+HKMV9 Awesome m8, thanks very much and good luck with the course!

[@ilikecereal156]

I really wish my CAD teacher had your enthusiasm and skill. He didn't even know how to change units to cm smh!

[@avorioru3963]

Nice!

[@franciscovallejos4671]

thanks, Great tutorial. Could you make a tutorial about how make a square spiral or perhaps you could explain to me!

[@josephkurebwa6899]

Hi! Thanks for the amazing tutorial. How do you model an adaptive bar that can bend in an assembly as other parts move? I need the bar fixed at one end with the ability to bend as I pull the other end radially.

[@JamesLenane]

Was waiting for you to drive..gangsta ninja lol

[@canhsiu6883]

Could you make two positions in the representations at angle 155 and 175 so that we can present in 2d drawing?

[@kHerring1973]

They're the typical type of scissors you'd find on a swiss army knife! Hence the finger nail puller on the side of the scissor blade! ;)

[@jonathanrose4666]

Gnome People! Classic! they are scissors from a swiss army knife. Why do i know that? I know that because i got the pointy bit stuck in my arm in the summer of 1976! ah the summer of 1976, sun fun and running round in my pants, well i was only 6! 6year old playing with scissors, different times! Your Tuts are brill! What about one on an air spring? you know the rubbery baggy thingy, i want to make one move in an assembliey but i cant, this is because i am silly and i am throwing it to you! you lovely brilliant man. Keep up the good work Ta BigJon

[@gmc9905]

Does this channel have a play list that is in order to take you from beginner step by step, love the videos just cant find order.?

[@coolmayj]

thanks!

[@rawvibes]

this video was very helpful. Can you help me with my project, i am trying to use a compressive spring with a hook. How is that possible?Can you do video on that.and can you show an example of how you design springs for curved axis.

[@AhmadEsmaeel]

u r crazy goood

[@BaczoZsolt]

Nice tip. Too bad I don't have twisted sweep in Inventor 2014. BTW, you can just use perpendicular constraint between arc and line at 8:20 without the additional construction line.

[@6969SpAcE6969]

What's this composite thingy you use before making the spring? Does it bind the part to the limits of the scissors part file? -Whilst also allowing for the points, lines and surfaces to be projected for reference?

[@pancarmp3885]

Excuse me sir, could you make a tutorial about wire rope drive, as in pulley system, and its simulation? I've been trying it out by myself but it seems that I've found no luck. I've been trying to do it with sweep command by it's always ended up with error

[@Ahmad.Kassem]

Verry informative video, but is there a way to adapt a spring inside an assembly kbowing that the spring was drawn as a seperate part ?

[@Servicios_generales_McComics]

Hello, you have passed that when creating a presentation the colors that you have assigned to the pieces no longer appear in the presentation but in the assembly? How would I solve this problem? Please help me. I would appreciate it.

[@kenwiercioch6311]

Could this be adapted to make a wire rope? (twisted wire)

[@mitchmustang69]

Can you design a clock spring and automate it as its tightening up around a fixed cylinder? Thanks for all your tutorials. They have been very helpful. Especially when your company still makes you work in Cad 2013 and won't send you to any cad classes. Thanks

[@AakankshaKulkarni26]

Can this be done in fusion 360 too?

[@JAnx01]

1. Why not just create the path using the 3D sketch? 2. Are adaptive springs not possible with the coild command?

[@benners145]

they look like the scissors that would go in something like a Swiss army knife.

[@tomekszymanski91]

Great video. Could you do a tutorial about adaptive belleville spring? It would be helpful.

[@Neil3D]

tomekszymanski91 Not gonna lie, hadn't heard of them before! Just googled it and is Belleville an actual brand? That's the name of the company and that spring is unique to them? If that's the case I'm not sure if I'd legally be able to do a tutorial on how to model those as it could cause copyright issues. Would make for an awesome video though if enough people used them!

[@tomekszymanski91]

TFI CAD Tips Belleville spring is a name of type of springs. I'm not native speaker, but I believe that it's also called ,,plate springs". The name Belleville comes from inventor, and it's not patented. It's used for example in car dry clutches. There are Belleville springs with and without cuts. I also noticed, there is a Design Tool in Inventor 2015 for this type of springs, but I havn't seen a single tutorial about it on YT.

[@ThePanfin]

Nice techique. - thanks a lot. I'am avoiding using adaptivity as far as I can, but here is one exeption. Your sketch could be streamlined on around 8:30 . Drawing constrution lines was all unnecessary. You could have same result by making sketch constraint between spring centerlines and circle centerpoint. Too bad there's no way make manufacturing drawing of the spring itself.

[@bootross255]

Superb tutorial Neil. I learn a lot & have a giggle along the way

[@fudizhang8842]

If u see my comments, just let u know i got a job with your video. Great thx

[@Uthael_Kileanea]

One thing that keeps bugging me: It's not "Skizzors"! You start it like "Ci(nders)" and end like "(Polym)ers". I might be wrong, but it's still bugging me :P Edit: thumbs up for Dat Spring.

[@erichcharters2778]

um... He knows. It's a way of dealing with boredom with the language. I do it too.

[@lewisbaillie]

the reason they are so small is because they are for a swiss army knife

[@justcomments3815]

I want give 10 likes but YT takes only one

[@MrxXxStyLeZxXx]

If you would have pressed 10 times on the like button, you wouldn't have given him a like. As you can see: like on, like off, like on, like off, like on, like off, like on, like off, like on, like OFF ... But ey.. don't take it personal :)
