assembled deformable components

[Alberto_95]

Hey, guys! Could someone help me?
I am trying to assemble a pneumatic clamp that provides the contact between a plastic detail and a deformable ribbon spring (with u shape). the plastic detail is subject to rotation and touching the spring should deform the extreme wings, which should bend down. However, I do not find a way to create an assembly that allows to create a deformed configuration of the spring. It seemed to me that the right road was that of the "hard/flexible axieme" but I realized that it does not do to my case because it allows only the handling of entire components. I am interested in "deforming" the single component.
I leave an image of the spring attached to give an idea of geometry.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi.
but do you want a simulation to create a video or a static image with the folded spring?

 

[mcbramby]

so on 2 feet, I would create 2 parts of the spring, open and closed.
and I would make the scene using the closed spring, and the normal product with the open spring.
as it says victorious, static image

I would have done as you say using scenarios.. If you want a simulation

no I would simply need a static image and then generate drawing boards. in a few words I have to realize a assembled with two distinct configurations: one with little deformed spring and another with very deformed spring

then do what I wrote above......

hi, I'm studying the vs software for "maybe" a possible change of work.
so just to understand without any intention of making controversy, it is better to specify.
Increasing there are flexible components, that is, you can make sure that the spring sticks to its seat in the assembly without the fact being connected to the part.
in the separate spring even if it is used + times in the same set, obviously with different locations, a single code appears and their sum .
therefore only a spring part with its unique code usable in all applications.

from what I read here does not exist or is it wrong?

could you with a top/down design create the spring with the references of the axieme? the disadvantage is that then the spring would be tied to the assemblies but so doing should adapt to its changes.
Hi.

 

[mcbramby]

no controversy.

I have not quite understood what it does, in the casket you can do as I wrote, the positioning of 2 parts an open one and a closed one and count in the distinct only the open part (for example). This is what I would do ........ then I don’t know if there is something that actually simulates the dynamic movement of the spring , surely in dmu (cakemodule for the movement of objects) there could be, unfortunately I never used it .

If you can post something that shows what you want to get, surely someone tells you what to do, the fact is that good or bad all cads do more or less the same things, the problem is to understand well what you want to do, and with what end.

 

[mamobono]

no controversy.

I don't know what it's like.

If you move the jaws the spring would automatically change

Hi.

 

[mcbramby]

Tonight I try to see it full screen ............ but I don't understand, it would seem that there is a constructive formula in the spring as if it was built by calculating the propeller, if so you do it also with catheia ............. I do not recommend you to tie the changes automatically, but you can create the spring propeller according to the die (practically change the step) , and then change it according to your needs .

However, we wait for someone who uses cats with other modules, or has already done what you propose to do.

As you are interested, I try to clarify your operation-
part: design a spring with the ends between two floors, with formulas I impose that the number of coils is fixed when I iron the spring. I declare that the measure between the two floors is flexible.
: when I load the part leaves the program recognizes that it is a flexible part and asks me what I want to do, if I accept that it is flexible I propose alternatives to which I have to answer :
a-give a numerical value to the flexible quota
b-define the distance between the planes as a measure between two references I take in the axieme.

if I use the spring solution deforms and remains such.
if I use the solution b the spring deforms and if the references taken move away/ approach the spring automatically redesigns.

It is a very useful procedure with the orings that nominally have measures that do not coincide with the offices but by this method you can deform and give as a result a correct design.20140704 o-ring modeling by flexible component - youtube

[mcbramby]

thank you.... x the further explanation.

The part of the part is like I said to you, the same thing you can do with casket. I don’t think there is the flexible quota, but maybe I never used it............ I’m now “fossilized” on my procedures and I’m lost it.

However, you can change the entire odds.

on the product part, I would put the 2 springs (which will go in separate and connected to the dwg) hidden, and I would make 2 springs a and b that I would use to make that movement.

I would change according to the intersection of the housings the entire spring, manually.

If you want to create a distance on the axieme and link with the share of the spring, I think you can do it, but I would dislodge it x the creation of links that then in time would create only problems, unless you and/or your colleagues are all very good and understand how to change the whole .......................... I never tested this part, but it should work.

 

[Alberto_95]

then do what I wrote above......

Thank you very much!! it worked:

I like it
