the Design tab, you specify the placement options and select the type of
components you want to insert. In the Calculation tab, you enter the
calculation values. For Bolted Connection Generator and for some calculators,
the Fatigue Calculation is also available to specify values for fatigue calculation.
NOTE Only one generator/calculator can be open at a time - when one
generator/calculator is opened and you want to open a new one, the first one is
automatically closed.
If you want to perform the calculation, click the Calculate button.
When you want to insert designed components and calculations to Autodesk
Inventor assembly, click OK.
What operations can I perform within Design
Accelerator?
When you open the Design Accelerator panel bar (click the arrow in the
Assembly panel bar), a set of tools is displayed. They are divided into three
groups:
■ Component Generators
■ Mechanical Calculators
■ Engineer’s Handbook
Work with Generators
Using Component generators you design desired components. You can also
perform calculations. Some generators use Content Center components, for
example Bolted Connection Generator, or Clevis Pin generator. Connect to
the Content Center to insert components using such generators. Without
being connected to Content Center, you can perform various calculations of
the components.
You can use the following Design Accelerator generators:
■ Bolted Connection
■ Shaft
