Introductory Note

This procedure was developed for Autodesk Inventor Professional 2010 user, however, if you use an

earlier version you will not find any difficulties.

In order to complete this exercise it is important that you have completed the Autodesk Inventor

Professional, essential module and you have to be able to use commands such as work plans and

circular pattern.

In this exercise you will design a flanged collar which is a part of the Autodesk Inventor 2009

Courseware Dataset. This model is used for creation of Hole features. It is a simple part modeling

exercise and to create the features you will use the Extrude command.

Autodesk Inventor is an application easy to use and even if you have little experience with modeling

tools, you will not find any difficulties.

This exercise is part of the "challenge" of Autodesk Inventor training course so these procedures are

not very detailed, but anyway, we encourage you to give us your feedback (E-mail:

maurijones@msn.com) reporting the difficulties and suggestions for adaptation and improvement.

Modeling a Flanged Colar

This model is a part of the Essentials Module exercise of the Autodesk Inventor Training Course. Inthis session you will model a flanged colar. In order to develop this component, you have to use some

basic modeling commands, such as extrude, revolve, mirror, circular pattern, and some simple features

such as, chamfer, fillet, hole, workplane, and so on.

1. Lets get started by creating a circle with a diameter of52.5 mm. On the Ribbon, Sketch tab > Draw

panel > and then select the Center Point Circle command. Next, click Finish Sketch.

The following illustration shows the flanged collar sketch geometry.

2. On the Ribbon, Model tab > Create panel> click the Extrude command. In the Extrude dialog

box, in the value of depth, enter 5 mm. Then click OK.

3. Now let's create a new sketch on the circular face newly created. On the Ribbon, Sketch tab> Draw

panel > select Center Point Circle. Then create a 35 mm diameter circle. When finished, click Finish

Sketch.

4. On the Ribbon, Model tab > Create panel> click the Extrude command. In the Extrude dialog box,

in the value of depth, enter 30 mm. Then click OK.

5. On the Ribbon, Model tab > Modify panel> click the Fillet command. In the Fillet dialog box,

select a circular edge at the bottom, in the radius value box, enter 2 millimeters. Then click OK.

6. On the Ribbon, Model tab > Sketch panel > select Create 2D Sketch. Then select the bottomcircular face. Note theyellow projected edges. Use the Offset command to create a concentric copy of

one of the existing circles. Next dimension the 45 millimeters diameter circle. Then create the center

points using the Point, Center Point command. See the following illustration.

9. On the Ribbon, Sketch tab > Draw panel> select the Line command. Then create the sketch as

shown in the image below. Next apply dimensional and geometric constraints as needed. When

finished, clickFinish Sketch.

10. On the Ribbon, Model tab > Create panel> click the Revolve command. The profile is

automatically selected. In the Revolve dialog box, select the axis and from the list Extents, select Full.

Next, select Cut option. Click OK.

11. On the Ribbon, Model tab > Sketch panel> select Create 2D Sketch. Then select the bottom face of

the flange base. Note the yellow projected edges. Use the Offset command to create a concentric circle

from the circular projected geometry. Specify the 2 and 3 millimeters offset distances and dimension

them as shown in the image below.

12. On the Ribbon, Model tab > Create panel > click the Extrude command. In the Extrude dialog

box, for the value of depth, enter 1 millimeter. Select Cut. Then click OK.

13. On the Browser bar, expand the Origin folder. Select the workplane XZ and then right click and

select Visibility. On the Model tab > Work Features panel > select the Work Plane command. Click

the XZ workplane and then click the cylindrical face to create a new workplan. See image below.

14. On the Ribbon, Model tab > Sketch panel> select Create 2D Sketch. Then click on the workplane

you have recently created. Next you should project the required edges and then create the sketch as

shown below.

1991 to 2001 I taught technical drawing and AutoCAD to high school students andconduct AutoCAD training for professional from industry. Prior to teaching, myprofessional experience in large-sized industry has been as an Operational TrainingInstructor to prepare persons to operate industrial machinery and equipment and asDrafter for the last 21 years

Since 2006 I have been an ATC instructor and technical supporter for an AutodeskVAR/ATC where I have been conducting training program on AutoCAD andAutodesk Inventor and as Instructor I have been training both beginners andadvanced users in AutoCAD

-based software. I have obtained certification on

vocational training instructor oncomputer and information technologyof theSyokugyodai - Polytechnic University Sagamihara, Japan, and the mechanicaldesign and drafting certificate. I have worked as a designer, high school teacher,vocational school instructor. My main interests as related to CADD are design andmanufacture.
