pneumatic design

Hi.
I'm disengaging a car tire.

we say for simplicity that we start from a sketch of an extruded circle and connected to the edges to simulate the shore of the tread.

to give a more realistic look to the tire I would like to "cut" the grooves on the circular face of the created forms.

Any idea how to do that?

I have not found any tool that works in this way circularly.

the butto... create the "motive" / the groove as processing and make a circular series?

I don't know if you need it, I don't know if there's any way to do the same with inventor, but for solidworks I found this footage when I was at the beginnings with the program. .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hzuixuivemMaybe it gives you an idea, an input.

I've only seen now that there's also specular for inventor, this should be your case.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fajknkuiw1u

in the tutorials I don't know if there's still but there was the simulation of a sopsension with its tread.... try to see if there's still
Hi.

Thanks for suggestions.

In fact I had succeeded by applying a cutting extrusion with circular series but then seeing the second tutorial I noticed that you can get a better result with the "balance" tool than compared to the extrusion from the possibility to set the color or material of the inside of the cut.

But I didn't understand why, speaking of the 2nd film, he creates the sketch of the tread on the same revolution and then projects it outside.
I would have drawn directly on the outside floor to the limit projecting on this the reference of the axis. I'm dumb, but I was wondering when I looked at him because he did it there and he went crazy to project the profile of the grooves. . .

 

[PabloPicasso]

Yeah, you're right. I didn't understand why he did that. I simply created a new plane and projected the geometry of the flanks of the tire to accurately draw the grooves.

for me the most interesting thing about the film was to see how you can work with the circular series by making the processing "more spins" in the sense that increasing the number of series you can do work that turn around geometry several times.

My mom jammed!
listen to advice, take the first video as an example. even if done with solid works everything that does can be done even in inventor and the result is definitely better.
Sorry about the frankness but one thing or you do well or don't do it!
