How to create NPT (national pipe taper) threads using inventor

engineer
in Modeling
13 3 Intermediate
I have had people ask me on here how I model npt threads for some of the parts I make, so I figured I would put it out there for others to see as well. Note: if you look at the threaded models I have on this website you will see that I have clearly taken more time on some of them than others, this tutorial will teach you how to do it the right and proper way.

diverse shape translation to JT or STP

Have found a way to import / translate easy shape files like 3ds, wrl, skp, stl, ifc and so on into JT or STP. The shape files can have texture or not. My interest was how to get the shape files with texture translated to JT. For this, I use PCon Planner and save as 3DS. After this, import it into MeshLab (single texture file / no layer) and save it as WRL (VRML 2). This is than easy to import into Teamcenter Livecyle Visualisation (TCVis) and save as JT. If you like to have more imported WRL/JT files into TCvis (JT2Go) please rename the texture or the view results in TCVis (JT2Go) are bad, looks like unplaced textures. If you like to export files with not a texture another way is to use. The fast one with no colours is to save as stl and import it into your volume modeller. The longer way is here to import it into PCon after this save as Skp (Sketchup) and now is to use Automapki (~40 $ or € / year sorry no freeware I have found) and save as STP file. The result you can now import into a volume modeller and use it there or (and) save it as JT and many other files too. Hope you like this tutorial a bit. If you have any questions please let me know.

How to create a Grid line part. The purpose of this tutorial is to help, some people will agree, others disagree, There is no point of arguing the method or technique if the result is valid and suitable to solve an issue. Remember, different peoples, different ideas, however, sometimes is easy to use what we already have that creates something that probably will consume time, effort, and money. Illogic maybe is a solution for your issue but probably there is an easy way to solve, and probably easier than this one suggested in this tutorial

Real gear teeth with Inventor

Luca Delbarba

Real gear teeth with Inventor The Inventor design module allows you to create gears of various types in an easy way. The model generated, however, is of the "cosmetic" type, that is, very simplified in order not to burden the system with the environment. To obtain a non-approximate gear model, it is necessary to export the profile of the single tooth with the desired precision. At this point, the toothed wheel can be completed with an extrusion of the profile and then a 3D series.
