COOLORANGE

ThreadModeler automates the generation of modeled threads based on the Autodesk® Inventor® thread feature.

Free

The threadModeler tool has been developed to allow Autodesk® Inventor® users to generate a realistic modeled equivalent thread based on an existing Inventor thread feature.

Users are able to select an existing thread feature in the model, which the threadModeler then converts to a realistic 3D modeled thread based on the underlying thread feature properties.

Modeled threads are generated saving a lot of time and effort for the user when compared with a manual approach, bringing a higher degree of realism to your models.

Note: This app uses a custom installer (and not the standard App Store installer).

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

  • You might need to unblock threadModeler and set the 'Load Behavior' to 'Load Automatically' in the Inventor Add-In Manager (picture 4) when you use the threadModeler for the first time after installation.
  • threadModeler cannot handle threads that are inserted with the hole command.
  • Freeforms are not supported.
  • The plug-in does not work on features with iMates. However, once the threads are generated, iMates can be reapplied.

Note: The plug-in is working and tested with the lastest 3 versions of Inventor. For earlier versions use at your own risk.
