flange flange flange flange

[TECNOMODEL]

I would need advice on the best method to operate:

I am beginning to create the library of i-features,works etc. that I will use frequently.
I would like to create the library for flange sae attacks and think about the best method to use.

I could make an i-feature of the profile and from time to time insert the size depending on the flange size to use.
then with another i-feature insert the 4 fixing holes and with a third the central hole.
In this way, however, I should have a table with the size each time that "pitch" one of these flanges.

or create as many i-features as the flanges and as many for the holes.

Finally I could create a part containing only the sketch of the profile and derive it, but in this case I should always have a ucs so that the origin of the sketch coincides with that of the ucs.

how do you settle in cases like this?

I raise my suggestion request

I would create a standard part with the desired jobs. then with so much patience I would look on the internet for examples of ilogics and create a module that asks me how many holes I want and which, or that depending on the flange if>then make the right holes. then I would save the file as a model and every time I have to make that flange select as a model what owns the rules and he executes them.
I did it with profiles, I am not a programmer, but copying from here and from examples found on the internet I did what I need.
Hi.

I haven't ventured into ilogic yet, so far goes beyond my inventor's knowledge.

the flanges are then inserted from time to time as extrusion on other parts.
depending on the type change the dimensions of encumbrance, the ø of the fixing holes and the central hole. the profile is the same.

Would you think the road you indicated would be usable?
Is it worth giving us time to deepen?

Then maybe iparts are better.
I recommend a little ilogic. knowledge always good

I'm starting with the iparts, so now I'm making every kind of flange. Then I'll go create those holes.
is it possible to make an ipart with more work? for example a profile extrusion and 4 holes. of course holes and profile do not have the same height.

make a single flange with his work. convert it to ipart and create all the variants you want.

I still ask you a question, today I have no time to experiment.
in the ipart can configure the height parameter of an extrusion with "up to" how do you do for example with the ifeatures?

"until" you can't, but you can insert the extrusion parameter as a key and when you enter the ipart you can decide to create a new extruded member of the length you want.

 

[TECNOMODEL]

But... an ipart can't put it in one part to add material. Am I wrong?
also in the guide indicates only the positioning in combination.

 

[Zac69]

No. an ipart is the reality a family of members and has ipt extension. you can insert it into a set but not in another part.
imagine the content center: you can enter a member (m10x30) of a family (uni 5931) only in one group, but not in another part.
In reality the content center is nothing but a set of iparts and an ipart behaves like a component of the contained center.

Then I think the only way is that of i-feature.

one for the profile, one for the 4 fixing holes and a third for the central hole.

the only "pippa" is that I must always have the norm to give all the correct quotas.
