Assembly Enhancements

Not available for Inventor LT

Stress Analysis

Changing the Safety Factor for materials triggers a new warning message. While assigning materials In Stress Analysis, if you change Safety Factor from Yield Strength to Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS), a warning message displays. The warning advises that the safety factor calculation of one or more materials is based on UTS. UTS uses Principal Stress and is appropriate for brittle materials.

Large Assembly Performance

The Disable Automatic Refinement option is added to the Application Options, Display tab. Disabling automatic refinement provides a coarser model display and improves graphics performance in large assemblies such as when changing a level of detail. Coarse faceting is used until you select the Refine Appearance command in the View tab.
Tip: Disabling refinement can also improve graphics performance in complex models.

Replace Selected Components

The Replace command now supports more than a single component selection. Multiple similar or dissimilar component selections can be made before or after the Replace command is invoked.

Analyze Interference

The following new functionality is added to the Analyze Interference workflow:

  • You can use a crossing window to add components to the selection set. Previously you selected components one at a time.
  • You can now zoom to an interference. If interferences are detected, expand the dialog box and double-click an entry to zoom to the interference.

Assembly Pattern

The Midplane option is added to the assembly Pattern command. Select the Midplane option to create a pattern distributed on both sides of the original component.

Act on Multiple Sick Constraints

You now can select multiple sick constraints within the Design Doctor and delete or suppress them.
