Applying automatic bolted connections

Bolted connections are often a prominent and common feature of most mechanical design assemblies. Components such as nuts, bolts, and washers can be loaded independently into the model via the Content Center one at a time, but in some cases, it is advantageous to automate this procedure and apply multiple Content Center components that make up a bolted connection in one operation.

In this recipe, we will apply several bolted connection sub-assemblies to an existing assembly of parts.

Getting ready

To begin this recipe, navigate to Inventor Cookbook 2023, then Chapter 8, followed by Stepper Motor Brake >, and open Nema 34 Stepper Motor Brake.iam.

How to do it…

With Nema 34 Stepper Motor Brake.iam, we will apply several bolted connections in one operation to the assembly:

Ensure that you have Nema 34 Stepper Motor Brake.iam open. Navigate to the Top View. There are three countersunk threaded holes in the assembly...
