How to use Multi-Body Parts, Parts to Assemblies | Autodesk Inventor

A tutorial on how to work with multi-body solids in Autodesk Inventor, a nice workflow to enable you to explode a part file into an assembly. #Autodesk #Inventor #Tutorial #3DCAD #Design #Engineering #CAD

Nice video. My only complaint is the background music has a percussion sound that I kept thinking as someone tapping a pencil on their desk behind me.

[@WolfManJammer]

I think the music is great! Reminds me of the underground world in Super Mario Brothers but with an 808 style 1980's hiphop/ B-Movie sound track. Hell... I might even find this track to zone out to while I mess about in CAD.

[@StraitD2]

You're videos are saving me literally tens of hours of repetitive work. Thank you!

[@AbbasIdris]

I like the way you explained the split tool! Thanks!

[@flypic1098]

Very good stuff. Been using Inventor professionally for 10 years. It has a very broad spectrum of usage but my use is a very narrow spread. I'm rapidly going through these vids cos I'll be at Autodesk University and got my name down for a Certification exam. Thanks very much for such clear demonstrations. Jim

[@stuzman52]

Nice tutorial demonstrating the usage of multi-bodied parts.

[@GroHouse]

Exactly what I needed to have explained! Cheers!

[@DanRich01]

Thanks, it makes a difference to see it from a different view than the standard tutorial classes I attend

[@nitinarya9266]

Thanks dude! This is one of the best explainer videos I've ever seen. Keep up the good work! :)

[@robbbarrett3711]

Thanks this is sooooo useful ,this tutorial is well worth working through for anyone using Inventor I'm sure we wouldn't find this with out your help .Autodesk are very good at hiding some of its best Tricks . Cheers Robb

[@treyinok]

AWESOME! This video was perfect for solving my problem!

[@danieldewindt3919]

Grate video, thanks.Made me think in a whole different way of creating

[@petermano3366]

Great presentation. Thanks for that.

[@crashfactory]

marvelous, as usual.

[@jthusany]

Great video. This is the future of 3d design.

[@danniequesnel7759]

Thanks so much for your perky-quirky demeanor, listening to these videos can become super repetitive so this was a nice breath of fresh air.

[@Neil3D]

You're welcome! Have a dig around my channel, I've done around 150+ tip videos and tutorials so plenty more where this came from!

[@skinnopaentertainmentuk.509]

good lecture i love this design

[@adrianbrito8622]

Great video, Thank you very much!

[@hilmannugraha3808]

Thanks a lot! It's really helpful :D

[@ranaaamirmukhtar3415]

Very informative lesson.Thanks a lot

[@Alva789]

Thank You, Good Stuff :)

[@carlwithers3986]

GOOD WORK AGAIN

[@shivangpathaknevergiveup]

saviour, thanks a lot!

[@akashnath3963]

tanxx alot good work

[@GHJ322]

Thanks for this video. Please, explain how to add parameters like length, width and thickness to board materials? How to do cut list?

[@ryankirk3577]

Awesome Possum!

[@raydavis2904]

Setting your view style to "Shaded with edges" lets you see the seams between the solid bodies".

[@bartkusters3272]

you saved my life...thnx

[@mysterymilesandthewaltons1560]

Wow really good video. Saved me a ton of time modelling parts for 3D printing. BTW is the model a thruster mount for a subsea ROV?!

[@mruepp]

Thank you very much! What I wonder (Newbie) is, if I for example create plastic parts this way, how do I control mating tolerances and fittings for different productions, e.g. for instance 3D Print for Rapid Prototyping and same Part later on for molding? For instance with top/bottom part and lip features which have the same dimensions for the inside and outside part...

[@tarukafernando9440]

great this is what I wanted to know

[@chadal555]

THANK YOU!!!!

[@Neil3D]

+CHANTAL DALLAIRE YOU'RE WELCOME!!!! ;-p

[@ferdinandjanzen7875]

Thank you! ...

[@waseemaboualzahab986]

Hi I Hope you are doing fine THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT VIDEOS i cannot find the shear sketch feature when i'm creating a new part in Assembly mode could you please help

[@Orchidfudge]

when you have made multi body solids can you stil after animate it if you want to show movements ?

[@geovannebma]

thank you

[@noahd8673]

hey if I have an assembly and I am working on a part, and i want to make a new part from a solid body how do I do that? i tried to do it myself, but it only worked the way I wanted one time

[@drafty0183]

I really like your presentation style. I've been using AutoCAD for ages & am just getting into Inventor. You videos have helped enormously! The split & combine kind of translate to the slice & union commands in ACAD. I was wondering if there is a command that can separate the parts of a split solid body into separate bodies, like acad can?

[@Neil3D]

+Drafty01 Yea, did I not do that in this video? I can't remember now. You use the split command and chose the option split solid, I think, that then lets you use a plane or face to slice a solid into multiple independent solid bodies. If I didnt do that in this video I can do a separate piece on it!

[@drafty0183]

+TFI CAD Tips The follow-on would be that the other bits of the solid you want joined back up, can then be joined up with the combine command.

[@michaloGD]

Hi, thank you for a great video, as always. However I have a question regarding the way of dealing with a very complex parts. So, my problem is that when I am creating some very complex parts for injection modling, after some time it becomes something like a "spagetti code". What I would like to say is that when I am trying to change something or remove for example an extrusion, inventor freezes or sometimes even windows is crushing with BOD (after a last crush I had to reinstall the whole OS). What would you suggest to keep the flexibility to change something in the development process? To use multi-body parts and edit bodies separately or maybe to make an assembly from multiple "part's parts" and simplify it at the end? What is your experience? Maybe you could share some hints for designing the injection molding parts, but more like how to deal with it and what is the proper way of designing proces than an inventor tools? Best regards

[@mpkleinbreteler]

maybe your pc becomes too hot, make sure it cools enough :)

[@23chaos23]

this will work great for making parts that will be 3D printed, but the part is to complex to print in one go. now i can break up my single parts so when i go to printing its easier to deconstruct them for easy printing

[@crashfactory]

Who's ray? why do i need him to move along?

[@user-fl9lg8ud9y]

Could you give the name of the background tune playing? I really like it :)

[@eddrm4685]

I posted this on an older video . Any chance of doing some Fusion 360 videos?These are great lessons. Never used Inventor but I am learning a lot that will help me with Fusion. Thank you

[@Neil3D]

Ed Germain Yea I replied, and that makes sense now... I asked what you needed to know that couldn't be done in Inventor... but that makes sense if you don't have Inventor! To be honest I haven't used Fusion since it's early first build when it was part of Inventor, it's changed a lot since then and I actually don't know what it's purpose is as it seems very very similar to Inventor. I don't understand it yet and why it exists. But if it's a popular program that a lot of people use I might try getting into it.

[@eartheartbaratheon791]

What if I had a complicated design, that would benefit from creating parts together and then having them exploded into separate ipt files BUT I only wanted to make a rough sketch of the assembly this way to sort of see how those parts fit together, what should their dimensions be, etc. and keep working and polishing those parts in separate files? You know, because working on small things in a big file is hard but seeing how they change "live" would be cool. Sadly changes in the assembly-like.ipt file affect "children" .ipt files but changes made to "children" files do not affect the parent file.

[@anthonyz5671]

Why is my part adaptive is checked but it's greyed out. When I edit the part all the sketehces are adaptive. Weird.

[@ben.e__9]

Is it possible to create solid bodies using Sheet Metal? Or even using the 'Split' command?

[@Orchidfudge]

yes we have just gone over it although i could not master it and inventor is not the best option for creating sheet metal but it is possible i have seen

[@fabioa.565]

yeah, you can

[@16siemon]

That a sub atlantic truster housing? o0

[@tonyt8807]

I made 2 parts like this 1 was bent sheet and could not flatten. Any help?

[@fabioa.565]

you can bend just the sheet realized with the commands in the bend sheet panel.

[@voldermost20]

In terms of application, I'm not aware yet, clip is too difficult to understand

[@adityawahyusetiawan4432]

Why am I watching this right now? I hope watching this sooner

[@duane1234561]

So is this more how fusion 360 works?

[@allangeorgjensen8811]

[@sethtayfun7466]

background sounds s very disturbing

[@ck8koneti]

Please get rid of the background sound.

[@mxmike121xhardenduro4]

Alright video. The background is annoying and it makes it harder to focus on what you are saying.

[@nyrugger4life]

background music sucks...don't use it. good vid besides though

[@3DwithHussam]

good information , but you speak too much , this is not complicated process , you can show it to us in less time . I watched the bending tutorial you sepnt lot time explaning the bending line . Please dont get me wrong but you can make the lesson shorter and more useful

[@johnnyschmidt3735]

I like Your videos, but I hate all the background noise. It is very desturbing
