Suppress the assembly constraints so the part will be able to be moved.•Animate Parameters – Defines user parameters in the current document or any documents referenced by subassemblies.5SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2010, Georgia Institute of TechnologyMotion Tools (2)•Animate PR – Uses positional representations (PRs) made in the assembly environment as animation key frames for an animation•Animate Camera – Specifies an existing camera, activates it, and defines the playback path and time•Animate Light – Specifies the parameters to be animated over a time duration•Render Animation – Specifies general settings for rendering animations•Video Producer – Specifies camera shots and transitions that are combined and rendered as one animation6SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2010, Georgia Institute of TechnologyAnimation Timeline7SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2010, Georgia Institute of TechnologyHow to Animate Camera: Viewpoint?1) Orient the assembly to view shown2) Right click on cameras in the browser and select “Create Camera from View”8SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2010, Georgia Institute of TechnologyHow to Animate Camera: Viewpoint?3) Open Animation Timeline4) Select “Camera” from drop-down5) Move the timeline slider to 2 seconds6) Orient the assembly to view shown9SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2010, Georgia Institute of TechnologyHow to Animate Camera: Viewpoint?7) Select “Add Camera Action” This adds a point on the timeline8) Press playThis causes the assembly to rotate and zoom-inA walkthrough path can be created based on multiple camera viewsSimultaneously fade, animate components, etc. can be used10SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2010, Georgia Institute of TechnologyHow to Animate Camera: Turntable1) Right click on the camera point created on the timelineThis opens Animate Camera 2) Select the Turntable Tab3) Check Turntable action11SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2010, Georgia Institute of TechnologyHow to Animate Camera: Turntable4) Change axis to get the axis shown in image5) Select “+/-”6) Change End time12SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2010, Georgia Institute of TechnologyHow to Animate Camera: TurntableThis causes the assembly to make 1 revolution about the selected axis, in the specified time13SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2010, Georgia Institute of TechnologyAnimation OptionsIn the Animation Timeline dialog box, click the Animation Options button –Edit simulation parameters (time, # frames, etc.)–Edit the acceleration/speed14SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2010, Georgia Institute of TechnologyRender Animation (1)In Inventor Studio Panel,–Select Render Animation–Check: Preview: No Render–Click “Render”–Select where to save the file–Create animation as an .avi file15SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2010, Georgia Institute of TechnologyRender Animation (2)In addition, different camera, lighting, and scene styles can be used in the animation Note this will increase the time it takes to create the .AVI file16SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2010, Georgia Institute of TechnologyAnimate Constraints•Animate Constraints – Animates linear or angular values for one or more constraintsSelect Animate ConstraintsSelect the constraint from the Browser that you want to animate.Set the time and distance for the animation.17SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2010, Georgia Institute of TechnologyAdding an Animate ConstraintAdding an offset mate constraint between the 2 surface shown18SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2010, Georgia Institute of TechnologyAnimate Components•Animate Components – Animates the position and rotation of one or more componentsAnimate Components–Will move parts even if they are constrained –Use “Animate Components” to add parts to be assembled–For further information, see Help-> Learning Tools -> Tutorials -> Animating with Autodesk Inventor Studio19SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2010, Georgia Institute of
