How to simulate a vise/vice movement | Autodesk Inventor

A quick(ish) tutorial to show how to turn a spindle and make a part move whilst the spindle is turning, using the rotational translation constraint for an assembly. I'm using a crude representation of a vise/vice and modelling everything from scratch.

Only been watching your videos for a week, but have realised that you are easy to understand and dont seem to over complicate things! Keep up the good work Ta Jon

[@darcksage1]

Thank you mate! Your tutorials are truly the best!

[@Neil3D]

+Darcksage Thanks muchly :-)

[@philipeddington6282]

Yet another great video. Thanks Neil. You rock. I'm a Revit professional but I've been picking up Inventor in my downtime and I'm learning so much from your videos. I've even asked my firm to supply me with a Spacemouse Enterprise and CAD Mouse. I'll let you know how that goes. LOL.

[@AiuFFS]

Very simple and straightforward tutorial. Saved me today on my pipe wrench assignment.

[@danseman51]

That's a lot easier than I was making it out to be. Thanks again for taking my idea and creating a video. It's exactly what I was looking for. Your awesome!!

[@Neil3D]

+Daniel Seman thanks for the inspiration!

[@TheBCTraveler]

Wonderful tutorial... You keep it simple and entertaining. Thanks for your time and efforts! The only key point of criticism would be to keep on track of your objective, meaning stay on point. Love your enthusiasm!

[@Neil3D]

Yea that was kinda my thing in the early days, I was trying to make them entertaining and less stale... but I eventually realised how that can be annoying when people just want to know how something is done quickly. My newer ones are more to the point. Cheers though!

[@TheBCTraveler]

TFI Keep up the great work, work wich you obvious love and are good at breaking it down with an enthusiastic approach..... cheers bro!

[@vitopos8153]

Thanks for this amazing tutorial! It was extremely helpfull, exactly what I needed!

[@anthonyz5671]

Contact SET!!!! That's what I need! I have a latch trying to imitate open and close limits. thank you!

[@erichcharters2778]

Goooooood cookin. I could probably come up with a 'better' one, with the most perfect spelling, BBC grammar, and best-practice techniques to absolute perfection - but you would use it as a sedative when you've had too much coffee and really need to get a good night's sleep for a big job interview the next morning. TFI (Neil/Neil/Kneel...dude, how do you spell your name?) PLEASE - DON"T change how you do these. The wanderings and "waffling" actually helps us learn the little details - details that experts who may critique your videos may tend to take for granted - and meets us down where we are. It is so casual, off the cuff and you keep it reel. (I know how to spel- it's a VIDEO, man. A Reel...pun.) Dude, Neil (sp.?), you rock, man. Don't go away.

[@WhomItMay]

You make what we do look cool. Thanks man. I thoroughly enjoy every video.

[@christophers8681]

A great Tut. Gives a basic insight into Contraints thanks Now to make a vice :P

[@rpyka1]

Very helpful tutorial.

[@papaafful5238]

Is there a video about assembly constraints? if not, could you make one?

[@Balu1192]

Really good, easy to understand tutorials! Thx

[@blerg]

Rotation-Translation-Sensation. Thats a sexy band-name ;)

[@robbbarrett3711]

brilliant . don't script your shows please they work perfectly just as they are and makes it all a lot more human and enjoyable to watch . Thanks Robb

[@Yahiakoragaty]

The tutorial was very helpful thank you, however on using the "make a part" I could not add the parts. I would appreciate your help in increasing the text size of the dimensions in sketch mode, since the "Application Options " only allows size 9. Your help will be appreciated since at my age I need large text.

[@jesscneal]

Cool tip. Never knew you could do that. Should come in handy :)

[@frasermuir9453]

I know it won't look as good, but do you think you could turn down the resolution to 1080p just to get rid of all the problems you were facing. That is unless autodesk actually fix it

[@Neil3D]

+Fraser Muir Its only whilst I'm recording content whilst I'm working out of hotels, I'm on my Alienware laptop at the moment which has a 4K screen, sometimes I get as many problems down scaling to 1080p as I do running native 4K. Also, I've been told my videos are watched by the Inventor dev team so this is a way to highlight problems to the people who fix it without having to go through hoops complaining to people who have no influence over fixing things! If they see it with their own eyes it's the most effective way of reporting issues! If the issue was so big that it spoiled the purpose of my video then obvs I wouldn't include it though!

[@svahdat100]

Very good looking forward to your next

[@chessvodkaopera]

This is a great channel!!!

[@Mtaalas]

Most probably (knowing Autodesk and other similar companies) you need to dish out for the inventor 2018 to get better support for 4k and then it's not even completely done yet and oyu have to wait till 2019... I wonder why they don't do regular patches like once a month or several times a year? :(

[@almostanengineer]

TFI: Brings you a video on Inventor in 4K TFI: 4K is useless for Inventor because!

[@Neil3D]

Wait! Any video I’ve done which is an inventor (4K) recording is always shot at 1080 then upscaled to 4K in rendering to take advantage of KZbin’s increased bitrate delivery. Although things in inventor have changed since that video so it probs needs an update

[@gawags4709]

Flipping Brilliant! Just enough learning to make me dangerous.

[@tomersvirsky5807]

The plural of vice is vices! Love your tutorials btw oh and vise is the american spelling

[@kevin_delaney]

Lmao your videos are so entertaining! 😂 Thank you, this helps so much, I was struggling with this today!

[@keydarkman]

Perfect tutorial.

[@Neil3D]

Thanks :)

[@markclay2338]

THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO MATE!!!

[@a4finger]

wow, cool!

[@ROCBSH]

Good job.

[@RGCAD]

The intro😄😄😄

[@Terho90]

love the attitude... :D

[@annazhao7688]

good!

[@Fiish94]

good video! (:

[@svahdat100]

Would take a request on tutorials?

[@Neil3D]

+shawn vahdat You're welcome to note something here or ask via Twitter (which I'm more likely to see) but it depends what it is, you can appreciate a lot of people ask for a lot of different tutorials and I can only do so many and need to pick topics that I can comfortably do and that will benefit a lot of people!

[@nikoskoutsogiannis239]

+TFI CAD Tips from your videos is absent only one thing .Use of joints and dynamic simulation .keep on

[@ehabalmasri2718]

"Contact Set" was the missing thing to me ;>

[@Nickgowans]

The plural for dice is die, so the plural of vice must be "vie"

[@casinzhong]

Easy understand

[@losma7t]

Youre so funny😂😂

[@jhibirick]

Terimakasih,

[@-.Psycho.-]

One day am gonna make a weapon to a game. Just so i can own my own weapon in the game if they want.

[@AtomicusPrime]

Heeeey there. I was hoping you could explain sometime how to do something along the lines of what this kid does early in his video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYi4iYhupN2YjrM It would be pretty awesome to be able to just let the machine run. I apologize if you've already done this in a video I haven't seen yet.

[@TheCuriousOrbs]

+1 vote for "unscripted"

[@thibaux561]

We pronounce vise as "vize"; as opposed to "vice", which suggests a vicious habit.

[@thibaux561]

Moreover, the plural of "vise" is indeed "vises".

[@ero0k752]

Not bad at all BUT you must stop saying how dumb you are all the time and wasting time on this . and definitely you aren't. Just waste more time explain useful things

[@simonbrenchley2197]

video is fine but the scripting comments are very off-putting.
