Autodesk Inventor

1. All the parts are grounded in the main assembly. The game allows for the field to be changed, so remove the grounded status from any structures and then move to a new location adding constraints or grounding as required.

STEP

1. The parts will not be grounded when you open the file. When I open a STEP file I ground the parts to get started.

Please let me know if the download works OK. I have tested it and worked for me.

All the best for 2016.

Thanks

When converting either file to solidworks, it either completely breaks or creates spheres where objects are supposed to be. Can someone convert to solidworks and post a download?

Are you opening the STEP file in SW?

[Chris Endres]

I am opening the step file in SolidWorks, as well as trying to open the Autodesk file and converting it, no luck either way.

OK. Let me try a couple of different work flows and I will get back to you.

Ok, thanks!

For reference, this is what opens when I open the STEP file.

Not even close!

Hello Phil,

Is there any word about when the 2016 KOP CAD will be out? We specifically need am14U3 so we can start to play with it.

Thanks!

Glad you asked. Currently uploading!! Check within an hour or 2 for the download link. I will probably start a new thread.

I opened the STEP file in SW 2015-16 Student Edition. Some minor face and gap errors, but I think all the critical parts are OK. I put the SW files on GrabCAD. I renamed the game specific assemblies from their drawing numbers to their names in the Game Manual so that they are easier to identify in the feature manager. I also created a new assembly of the tower and batter.

Phil, mucho mahalo for the STEP file!
