ADAPTIVITY - It Does Not Work - Need Help

[hiandy]

Dear All,

My name is Hiandy and I am using Inventor Professional 2014.

I am having a problem in understanding adaptivity. Please see the folder adaptivity 2. I want to change width and height of beam A. I am expecting beam B and beam C will follow the change by adaptivity feature. But, when I activated the adaptivity on extrusion, the adaptivity did not apply on the sketch. Why?

Then, I make an experiment (please see folder adaptivity 1). The sketch can be adaptive, but when I changed the sizes of beam. The other beam did not follow the change.

Please let me know if you could not find those files on attachment.

It would be kind of you if you could share your solutions with me.

Thank you.


Regards,
Hiandy

For the assembly in Adaptivity 1.zip, there were 2 flush constraints missing. When these are added, Beam 1 will adapt successfully to Beam 2. See attached.

For the assembly in Adaptivity 2.zip, the sketches for Beam B and Beam C are fully constrained, and as such, they cannot be made adaptive. You can derive the parameters from the Beam A sketch into the sketches for Beams B & C, however, and they will update if mapped correctly. The same applies to the connector beams.

HTH.
