Good morning,
00:05
good afternoon welcome to this
00:07
presentation about inventors rabbit interoperability.
00:11
Today's course will be focusing on the work flow that can be
00:15
achieved between inventor and have it as per the 2022 version.
00:19
So my name is Ryan call me I will be represented for today.
00:24
I work as a technical account specialist for
00:27
name accounts in autodesk personal spain since november 2018
00:32
and I have many of my experiences in structural mechanics
00:36
engineering and the main product I present is inventories.
00:40
Um, I'm happy to be your present for today and I hope that you will have a nice session
00:45
A few words first about the learning objectives of these accelerators,
00:49
we will first give a short reminder of
00:53
the interoperability capabilities available before the 2022 release and
00:58
after that we will focus on the new capabilities
01:01
existing specifically in this 2022 release in particular,
01:06
I will present how to import rabbit model into inventory.
01:10
Then I will show how to use the new simplified feature
01:14
in order to in order to simplify the inventor model which is following this,
01:19
I will demonstrate one of the major update in the in Vogtle
01:24
which is the export to the R V T five format
01:28
and finally we'll see how we can maintain the link between the rabbit file,
01:33
an inventor file so that if an update is applied to the rabbit model,
01:38
it will be automatically pushed to the inventor.
01:41
So this will be the general workflow,
01:43
we're going to present with the different demonstrations so we'll
01:47
go into detail step by step of this workflow.
01:51
The topic that will be present today belongs to more global enhancement project
01:55
that the inventor project team has been working on for years now.
01:59
It's about the any technology with the operation of the
02:03
industries and taking into account the needs from our customers.
02:06
It is more and more common nowadays to have
02:09
multiple cat application being used in a single project.
02:12
And this brings the issue of capability and
02:16
mixing different file formats from different projects.
02:20
The purpose of the Annika technology is to give inventor more
02:24
powerful tools to make this file format mixture more flexible,
02:28
smoother and easier for our customers so that they
02:31
can work with different file format inside one application,
02:35
inventor,
02:37
any card allows invented reference a cad file
02:40
from many different authoring application including rabbits.
02:43
The cad files can be edited in their original authoring tool
02:47
and when they are saved the reference model will be updated inside
02:53
of this inventor.
02:55
Reaching the ideal world where there is no capability issues
02:58
between products and five formats is probably not achievable.
03:02
But this project has been going on for years now and will
03:05
surely continue in order to create the best customer experience possible.
03:09
And
03:10
interoperability that we're going to present now is a great example.
03:15
That improvements can be done
03:17
as explained the interoperability between inventor and
03:20
rev It belongs to the Annika technology area
03:24
over the last years, many feedback had been received from you.
03:27
Our customers about the growing need to
03:29
work with both product Rabbit and an inventor
03:32
within one project we would like to thank you because thanks to these feedbacks,
03:37
we are able to make the product aware of
03:40
what is needed and requested by our customers.
03:43
Thus, the project have been working.
03:46
The product has been working on improving the interoperability
03:49
To provide more ease,
03:51
more flexibility and better consistency when working with both products.
03:55
This has been one of the major updates
03:58
of the 2022 release and more to be expected
04:02
as mentioned, the interoperability between
04:05
the inventor has not started since the last version but a long time ago.
04:11
Let's take a few minutes to present
04:12
with a few slides what was already possible before,
04:17
before the dawn step to release,
04:19
it was already possible to simplify and to export to rabbit five formats.
04:25
The certification was possible with the shrink
04:27
wrap feature and the envelopes feature.
04:30
In a few words,
04:31
the shrink wrap feature consists in removing components and all features from,
04:36
from an assembly to make it lighter.
04:39
If you wish to learn more on this feature,
04:41
recommend to go and check the Autodesk knowledge network
04:44
article on the topic which is very well explained.
04:47
The second way to simplify a model world was by using envelopes.
04:51
It consists in replacing a part or
04:54
assembly by an extremely basic geometry shape
04:58
in order to minimize the level of detail
05:01
to the lowest but to still keep the physical information that the part or assembly
05:08
exists and occupy some space in regards to the export to the rabbit file format.
05:14
You could already export to I. F. C. And R. F. A.
05:17
From format
05:19
a futile task that were available before.
05:22
Such as adding connectors, managing the USC, the the coordinate models and the the
05:28
Modifying the building component information.
05:31
This was already possible before the 2022 version.
05:35
The connectors indicated here in red are components that can be added in inventor
05:40
in order to be available in the exported file to rivet cabinetry connectors,
05:45
conduit duct pipe, electrical connectors and so on.
05:50
The U. S. C.
05:51
Checking is helpful to ensure the compatibility of the exporting
05:55
model with the rabbit model that shall receive this exported file
05:59
and finally,
06:00
the author of breathing components is useful to add metadata to
06:05
the model as per the two screenshots on the right.
06:09
This slide summarizes what is possible as per the 2022 release of inventor.
06:14
It highlights what was possible before this new release that we have just explained
06:19
before and as per referencing the habit model into inventor with any cad.
06:24
Use the rabbit model to correctly size and locate
06:28
your inventor design and add connectors for use in
06:32
as well as exporting the read family.
06:34
This slide also represents the new capabilities specific to the 2022 release
06:40
onwards that we're focusing on today for the rest of the presentation
06:44
exported Rabbit five format. Erviti and nick into rabbit
06:47
pushed an update to the coordinate model
06:49
from inventor.
06:51
When the rabbit model
06:53
is updated,
06:54
the article reference will will be maintained
06:57
and will propagate this update into inventor
07:02
when it comes to the inventor Rivet interoperability.
07:05
One of the questions that should be raised is around
07:09
the level of detail that you want to work on.
07:11
Indeed, if you plan to export a file from inventor to rivet,
07:15
it is obvious that the level of detail required in both products is not the same.
07:20
Usually an inventor,
07:21
we work with a lot of details and most of them are not necessary for rabbit.
07:27
Therefore there is a crucial need to simplify correctly and quickly
07:31
An inventor of the model that should be exported to rivet as explained before.
07:36
Inventor already had the tools to simplify a
07:38
model with the shrink wrap and envelopes.
07:40
But one of the major update of the 2022 release is the new simplified command.
07:47
The new five command replaces both.
07:50
The shrink wrap and envelopes command
07:51
will simplify you remove components and features
07:54
from complex assemblies in order to make collaboration and downstream use easier.
08:00
Now you have only one feature that contains all the inventory techniques
08:04
to simplify as you can send the screenshot on the right,
08:07
you can use presets.
08:08
So simplification, envelopes, expert components and remove details.
08:13
Process are predefined certification.
08:16
It allows you to save a simplification
08:18
configuration that we already have used in the
08:20
past in order to use once again without having to redefine again All the below
08:28
source certification consists in using the
08:30
model states design views and position.
08:33
If you already have defined in your inverter model.
08:37
Model states design view and position,
08:39
you can use them to simplify the model are continually to
08:42
this which allow you to win a significant amount of time
08:47
envelopes have already been explained.
08:49
Extra components you can, you can set up,
08:51
you can set the size criteria and it will remove all the parts which size
08:56
is about the criteria or you can select manually the parts to be removed,
09:01
remove details for each of the five categories of features, whole Philip,
09:06
pocket and bus.
09:08
You can either remove them all,
09:11
preserve them all or defining a size criteria that
09:14
will have the same effect than expect components.
09:18
Then
09:18
you can define the output information,
09:20
find them location and a bit of material structure.
09:23
Bomb
09:25
The new simplified command is one of the major
09:27
updates of this 2022 release for inventor that we
09:30
are that we are sure will benefit a lot of users when they are using it for a bit
09:35
and in the
09:36
interoperability.
09:39
The second measure updates in the inventory
09:41
exchange context is the export to
09:44
beautify format.
09:45
This will really improve the work for between the
09:47
two products as now you will be able to
09:49
export a rabbit file format Erviti from inventor and
09:54
link it into rivet to your current project.
09:57
In the picture on the left,
09:59
you can see the fire menu from the inventor and the export up
10:02
that contains now an additional line that is export to R V T.
10:08
We'll see in the
10:09
demonstration later what it does, but when you click on it,
10:12
it directly opened the simplified command because inventor
10:16
assumes that if you wish to export the monitor
10:18
beautify from it, you are first going to simplify it then as an outcome,
10:24
once the simplification and exporters are completed,
10:27
it will create a folder in the bill of material
10:30
rabbit exports
10:32
as you can see on the screen
10:34
in the picture on the right, it shows a very important aspect for the output.
10:39
You will have the option just before completing the
10:42
export to choose the structure of the Fbt file.
10:45
Either all in one element,
10:47
meaning that every part and sub assemblies will be
10:50
united into one component or each top level component,
10:54
so that each sub component will stay alone.
10:57
This will impact the way the fire will be read in rabbit afterwards.
00:04
Good morning,
00:05
good afternoon welcome to this
00:07
presentation about inventors rabbit interoperability.
00:11
Today's course will be focusing on the work flow that can be
