Learning Outcomes<\/p>\n\n<\/header>\n

\n\nWhen you have completed this module, you will be able to:\n
    \n \t
  1. Describe a presentation file, an exploded assembly, and an animation.<\/li>\n \t
  2. Describe and apply the CREATE VIEW, PRECISE VIEW ROTATION, TWEAK COMPONENT, and ANIMATE commands to create, tweak, and play the animation of an exploded assembly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Presentation Files<\/h1>\nAfter the model is assembled in the assembly file, a presentation file can be created using it. A presentation file<\/span><\/em> is a file in which a view of an assembly is exploded and can be animated. It can also be rotated so that is can be viewed from different angles. A presentation file is created using the NEW command and selecting a presentation template. A presentation file has the extension .ipn. IPN is an acronym for Inventor PreseNtation.\n

    Exploded Views<\/h2>\nAn exploded view<\/em><\/span> shows the assembly as if it were dismantled and the components of the assembly shown in the order and orientation that they fit together to create the assembly. Assemblies can be exploded automatically by Inventor, tweaked manually, or a combination of the two methods, complete with trails. A tweak<\/em> <\/span>is the distance that the part is moved from the grounded part while the trails<\/em> <\/span>are the lines in an exploded view that show the relationship of the component to the assembly. Combined, they indicate the direction and distance that a component was moved to create the view. Exploded assembly drawings are used in design presentations, catalogues, and assembly instruction. Figure 23-1 shows an exploded and rotated view of an assembly.\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1731\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"252\"]\"\" Figure 23-1
    An Exploded and Rotated
    Presentation Model[\/caption]\n

    Animations<\/h2>\nAn animation<\/em> <\/span>is a series of images of an exploded assembly showing each components tweak at a set interval speed making a small motion picture of an assembly or a disassembly.\n

    Tweaking<\/h2>\nTweaking<\/em> <\/span>is the process of moving the components from the grounded component. The tweak is the distance measured from the grounded unit. In the automated explosion method, the tweak distance is same for each part. If the tweak distance is set to 35, that means the first part is 35 mm from its location and the second part is 70 mm etc. This can be seen if the children in the Browser bar are expanded as shown in Figure 23-2. To tweak components manually, use the TWEAK COMPONENT command.\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1730\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"314\"]\"\" Figure 23-2
    Tweaking[\/caption]\n

    Animating the Exploded Assembly<\/h2>\nAfter the exploded assembly is tweaked, it can animated to show the assembly and the disassembly of the model. An animation is simply a series of frames<\/span> <\/em>or pictures of the assembly displayed one frame at a time. The amount of time between frames is called the interval<\/span><\/em>. The larger the interval, the slower the animation and the shorter the interval, the faster the animation. The number of repetitions can also be set.\n
    \n

    Inventor Command: CREATE VIEW or INSERT MODEL<\/p>\n\n<\/header>\n

    \n\nThe CREATE VIEW or INSERT MODEL commands are used to insert the model of the assembly file.\n\nShortcut: none<\/strong>\n\n\"\"\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n

    Inventor Command: TWEAK COMPONENTS<\/p>\n\n<\/header>\n

    \n\nThe TWEAK COMPONENTS command is used to move a component farther or closer from the grounded component to create or edit an exploded view of the assembly. It can also be used to rotate the components.\n\nShortcut: T<\/strong>\n\n\"\"\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n

    Inventor Command: ANIMATE<\/p>\n\n<\/header>\n

    \n\nThe ANIMATE command is used to set the parameters and play an animation of an assembly or disassembly of a assembled model.\n\nShortcut: none<\/strong>\n\n\"\"\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    MUST KNOW:<\/strong> A presentation file is a file in which a view of an assembly is created, rotated, exploded, and animated. To create a presentation file, use the NEW command and select a presentation template. A presentation file has the extension .ipn. IPN is an acronym for Inventor Presentation.<\/div>\n

    Step 8<\/h2>\nClick the Search Folder icon at the end of the file name. It will open the Open dialogue box. In the Lab Exercises folder, select the file: Inventor Workalong 23-1.iam<\/span> and click Open. (Figure Step 8)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1753\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"400\"]\"\"<\/a> Figure Step 8 [Click to see image full size][\/caption]\n

    Step 9<\/h2>\nIn the Select Assembly dialogue box enable Automatic and Create Trails in the Explosion Method area. Enter the Distance of 35 mm. Click OK. The exploded assembly should appear as shown in the figure. (Figure Step 9A and 9B)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1754\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"300\"]\"\"<\/a> Figure Step 9A [Click to see image full size][\/caption]\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1755\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"272\"]\"\" Figure Step 9B[\/caption]\n

    Step 10<\/h2>\nEnter the PRECISE VIEW ROTATION command. In the Incremental View Rotate dialogue box, set the Increment to 10. (Figure Step 10)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1756\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"329\"]\"\" Figure Step 10[\/caption]\n\n
    AUTHOR'S COMMENTS:<\/strong> The Increment setting sets the number of degrees the assembly will rotate per click.<\/div>\n

    Step 11<\/h2>\nClick the Right Rotate icon twice. This will rotate the model 20 degrees to the right. Click the Up Rotate icon once. This will rotate the model 10 degrees upwards. (Figure Step 11)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1757\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"292\"]\"\" Figure Step 11[\/caption]\n

    Step 12<\/h2>\nEnter the TWEAK COMPONENTS command. It will open the Tweak Component dialogue box. Set it as shown in the figure. (Figure Step 12)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1758\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"300\"]\"\" Figure Step 12[\/caption]\n

    Step 13<\/h2>\nEnsuring that Direction is enabled, zoom in and move the cursor on the top of the nut. When the direction icon is displayed as shown in the figure, click the left mouse button. (Figure Step 13A and 13B)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1759\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"206\"]\"\" Figure Step 13A[\/caption]\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1760\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"226\"]\"\" Figure Step 13B[\/caption]\n\n
    AUTHOR'S COMMENTS:<\/strong> Since the Transformations is set to the Z direction and a distance of 185 mm the Nut will move 185 mm in the Z direction.<\/div>\n

    Step 14<\/h2>\nLook at the Browser bar for the tweak you just created. It will show two tweaks for part:\n\nInventor Workalong 23-1F:1,<\/span> which is the nut. The 175.000 mm tweak was created in the automatic explosion in Step 9 and the 185.000 mm from the manual tweak you just completed. (Figure Step 14)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1761\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"205\"]\"\" Figure Step 14[\/caption]\n\n
    AUTHOR'S COMMENTS:<\/strong> The 175.00 mm is 5 X 35.00. The nut is the fifth part to move from the grounded part.<\/div>\n

    Step 15<\/h2>\nClick the Clear button to clear the current settings. Using the Browser bar in Figure Step 15A, manually tweak the assembly to match the figure shown in Figure Step 15B.

      \n

      When you have completed this module, you will be able to:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Describe a presentation file, an exploded assembly, and an animation.<\/li>\n
      2. Describe and apply the CREATE VIEW, PRECISE VIEW ROTATION, TWEAK COMPONENT, and ANIMATE commands to create, tweak, and play the animation of an exploded assembly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Presentation Files<\/h1>\n

        After the model is assembled in the assembly file, a presentation file can be created using it. A presentation file<\/span><\/em> is a file in which a view of an assembly is exploded and can be animated. It can also be rotated so that is can be viewed from different angles. A presentation file is created using the NEW command and selecting a presentation template. A presentation file has the extension .ipn. IPN is an acronym for Inventor PreseNtation.<\/p>\n

        Exploded Views<\/h2>\n

        An exploded view<\/em><\/span> shows the assembly as if it were dismantled and the components of the assembly shown in the order and orientation that they fit together to create the assembly. Assemblies can be exploded automatically by Inventor, tweaked manually, or a combination of the two methods, complete with trails. A tweak<\/em> <\/span>is the distance that the part is moved from the grounded part while the trails<\/em> <\/span>are the lines in an exploded view that show the relationship of the component to the assembly. Combined, they indicate the direction and distance that a component was moved to create the view. Exploded assembly drawings are used in design presentations, catalogues, and assembly instruction. Figure 23-1 shows an exploded and rotated view of an assembly.<\/p>\n

        Animations<\/h2>\n

        An animation<\/em> <\/span>is a series of images of an exploded assembly showing each components tweak at a set interval speed making a small motion picture of an assembly or a disassembly.<\/p>\n

        Tweaking<\/h2>\n

        Tweaking<\/em> <\/span>is the process of moving the components from the grounded component. The tweak is the distance measured from the grounded unit. In the automated explosion method, the tweak distance is same for each part. If the tweak distance is set to 35, that means the first part is 35 mm from its location and the second part is 70 mm etc. This can be seen if the children in the Browser bar are expanded as shown in Figure 23-2. To tweak components manually, use the TWEAK COMPONENT command.<\/p>\n

        Animating the Exploded Assembly<\/h2>\n

        After the exploded assembly is tweaked, it can animated to show the assembly and the disassembly of the model. An animation is simply a series of frames<\/span> <\/em>or pictures of the assembly displayed one frame at a time. The amount of time between frames is called the interval<\/span><\/em>. The larger the interval, the slower the animation and the shorter the interval, the faster the animation. The number of repetitions can also be set.<\/p>\n

        Key Principles in Module 23<\/p>\n<\/header>\n

          \n
        1. A presentation file is a file in which a view of an assembly is exploded and can be animated. It can be rotated so that is can be viewed from different angles.<\/li>\n
        2. An exploded view shows the assembly as if it were dismantled and the components of the assembly shown in the order and orientation they fit together to create the assembly.<\/li>\n
        3. A tweak is the distance that the part is moved from the grounded part while the trails are the lines in an exploded view that show the relationship of the component to the assembly.<\/li>\n
        4. After the exploded assembly is tweaked, it can animated to show the assembly and the disassembly of the model. An animation is simply a series of frames or pictures of the assembly displayed one frame at a time. The amount of time between frames is called the interval.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":127,"menu_order":2,"template":"","meta":{"pb_show_title":"on","pb_short_title":"","pb_subtitle":"","pb_authors":[],"pb_section_license":""},"chapter-type":[],"contributor":[],"license":[],"class_list":["post-1062","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"part":935,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/autodesk\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/1062","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/autodesk\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/autodesk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/autodesk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/127"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/autodesk\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/1062\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1063,"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/autodesk\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/1062\/revisions\/1063"}],"part":[{"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/autodesk\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/parts\/935"}],"metadata":[{"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/autodesk\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/1062\/metadata\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/autodesk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"chapter-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/autodesk\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapter-type?post=1062"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/autodesk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=1062"},{"taxonomy":"license","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/autodesk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/license?post=1062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
