Autodesk Inventor Drafting: Exploded View Drawing & Parts List

Jens Nielsen
in Drafting
3 0 Beginner
I will guide you through the process of creating an exploded view drawing of the Quick Return Mechanism assembly. We'll begin by creating a presentation file in Inventor to generate an exploded view storyboard. Next, we'll transition to the drawing environment. You'll learn how to create a new drawing from your exploded view, ensuring proper scaling and placement. A key focus will be on automatically generating a parts list (BOM) directly from your assembly data, populating it with essential information like item number, quantity, and part name. We'll then add balloons to your exploded view, linking each component to its corresponding entry in the parts list, making your drawing easy to interpret. You can find the STEP files for the Quick Return Mechanism on my GrabCAD profile, so you can follow along step-by-step. https://grabcad.com/library/quick-return-mechanism-65

Just a quick video to show you how to make exploded views and drawings in Fusion 360. We'll use the Radial Engine model (GrabCAD link: https://grabcad.com/library/radial-engine-486) radial engine video: https://youtu.be/m3xAY4AH_Ho We'll cover: Making parts "fly apart" to show how they go together. A short animation of that process. And finally, a basic drawing with a list of parts and labels.

In this detailed SolidWorks tutorial, you'll learn how to design, assemble, and animate a classic radial engine step by step. Perfect for beginners and mechanical design enthusiasts alike, this guide will walk you through the entire process using SolidWorks' powerful features. We’ll begin by creating every individual part of the radial engine — from the complex crankcase to the pistons, connecting rods, and other essential components. As you model these parts, you'll become familiar with key SolidWorks tools and best practices for precision mechanical design. Once all components are ready, we'll move into the assembly stage. You'll discover how to use mates to position each part accurately and simulate realistic movement within the engine. This phase will show you how to bring multiple parts together into a fully functioning mechanical assembly. Finally, we’ll explore SolidWorks’ animation capabilities. You’ll learn how to create a motion study to simulate the engine’s operation and visualize the synchronized movement of the pistons and crankshaft — a great way to understand the internal mechanics of a radial engine. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have a fully modeled, properly assembled, and smoothly animated radial engine. More importantly, you’ll gain solid experience with SolidWorks tools and a deeper appreciation for mechanical design principles.

Spur Gear Meshing

Moshaddek Hossain

1 1 Beginner
Spur gear meshing refers to the process by which two spur gears engage with each other to transmit power and motion through their teeth. Spur gears are the most common type of gears, characterized by straight teeth that are parallel to the gear axis and mounted on parallel shafts. Key Points: Contact: When two spur gears mesh, the teeth of one gear (the driving gear) push against the teeth of the other gear (the driven gear), transferring torque and rotational motion. Pitch Point: The point where the teeth of the two gears make contact is called the pitch point. At this point, the linear velocity of both gears is the same, ensuring smooth transmission. Pressure Angle: The angle between the line of action (force transmission line) and the tangent to the pitch circle is called the pressure angle, typically 20° in modern gears. It determines the shape and strength of the teeth. Line of Action: The teeth slide and roll against each other along the line of action during meshing, which ensures continuous contact and minimizes vibration. Backlash: A small amount of clearance between meshing teeth (backlash) is often maintained to prevent jamming and accommodate thermal expansion or misalignment. Spur gear meshing is ideal for low- to medium-speed applications and provides high efficiency and accurate motion transfer, making it widely used in mechanical systems such as gearboxes, clocks, and industrial machinery.
