Thanx it's helpful, we usually use to deal with constrains in assemblies, but I'll give it a shot and try to deal with Joints instead and see, as I understand here that the only reason to move to joints is to consume time? coz joints combine 2 or 3 constrains together? is it only the reason???

[@KETIVTechnologies]

Ebrahim,
Glad we could help. Time is definitely a factor in choosing joints. It is usually up to personal preference on how you like to constrain your model. I personally use a combination of the two, and tend to use more joints the more complex the assemblies get. Joints tend to be easier (less taxing on the processor) in regards to the calculation of the models.

Thanks for the helpful video I have a project and I must draw a hinged system I have tried to search for videos with hinged system but I couldn't find one may you please upload a video where by you explain how one might go about designing hinged systems

[@KETIVTechnologies]

Hi James, thank you for the video topic, we will add it to our suggested topics list!

[@mkeppitipola]

i need help with my cupboard door....like i cant seem to animate a door moving with a hinge...like i can connect the hinge with the door but to animate the movement...i cant seem to find a good enough tutorial for it
please help

[@abdullahshaikhengineer]

well explained

For the ball type, is it possible to put limits so that the bar attached to the ball does not go across the metal around? I was desperately hoping there is option like 'realistic movement' which stops one object to go through other ones.

[@themrjohn7323]

Oh, thanks bunch for the video! it helped me huge!

[@Chardin112]

How do You deal with broken joints. When sub-assembly changes break joints then I have to suppress every single one to then be able to fix them one by one. With constraints I will get a warning that there are more broken constraints but it allows me to fix them. With joints if there is still at least one broken joint active it does no allow me to fix any others.
Moreover would like the answer to a question that was asked during the session: which are lighter to compute in big assemblies joints or constraints?

[@KETIVTechnologies]

+Chardin112 Unfortunately, you have to fix them one at a time as there is no mass "joint repair" function in Inventor. We never have to suppress the others though. Do you mind sending us the file so our team can look into the issue that you are having? Also, which version and service pack of the software are you on?

[@nashgachie7695]

great job .. Can you explain the convergent rate in simulation

[@KETIVTechnologies]

Hi Nash,
I believe this should help explain the convergence rate accuracy within simulation.

I hope this helps.

18:00 What about the limits of rotation so the pin doesn't go through the metal? Nobody ever seem to know how to do it in this stupidly made program.

[@themrjohn7323]

im pretty sure the planar joint option takes care of that. it only allows the pin to move on the plane.

[@jlentztube]

The Limits tab for the joint has the ability to specify a minimum and maximum, as well as a default, rotational angle. Does exactly what you're requesting. He just didn't cover it here.
