Rim

The design of a rim on Autodesk Inventor involves creating a 2D sketch that represents the basic shape of the rim. This can be achieved by drawing a circle or an ellipse to represent the outer edge of the wheel. The hub of the wheel is typically represented as a smaller circle, and the spokes are drawn as lines connecting the hub to the outer edge. To create the rim on Autodesk Inventor, users need to select the "Sketch" tool from the toolbar and draw a 2D shape that represents the basic design of the rim. The user can then use various tools such as the "Circle" and "Ellipse" tools to create the necessary shapes for the rim. Once the basic design is created, users can add features such as the hub and spokes by using the "Extrude" tool. This involves selecting the sketch and using the "Extrude" command to convert it into a 3D solid model. The user can then use various tools such as the "Revolve" and "Sweep" tools to add more features to the rim. In addition, users can also use Autodesk Inventor's parametric modeling capabilities to create complex designs for the rim. This involves defining parameters that control the size and shape of the rim, and then using these parameters to create a 3D model.
