How to create a spring in Autodesk Inventor 2008
Introduction: this tutorial was created for users’ who doesn’t know how to create a “spring”.
This learning curve is very easy to master and it will only take a couple minutes to remember…
1.] Open Autodesk Inventor and start a new ‘Metric’ drawing: “Standard (mm).ipt format.
2.] Create an “isometric view” and draw a line + a small circle.
Notes: the circle diameter is the wire’s diameter (5mm), and the distance between the line and the centre – point of the circle equals the spring’s diameter (Q20, R=10).
Q = diameter
R = radius
3.] Right click on your mouse and select: “Done >> Finish Sketch” option.
4.] Select the “Coil” command on the part features panel bar.
5.] Wait for the dialog box to appear…
6.] Select the circle as the “Profile” and the line as the Axis.
7.] Click on the Coil Size tab on the Coil dialog box.
8.] Set the pitch value to 8 and the revolution for 6.
9.] Click Ok…
Notes: the ends of a spring created using the ‘Coil’ command can be drawn in one of two ways: natural or flat.
a.] Flat End
Transition angle= 0 degree
Flat Angle: 0 Degree
b.] Flat End
Transition angle= 90 Degree
Flat angle= 0 Degree
10.] Done!
Example.
