Autodesk Inventor Design Tools and Strategies

Traditionally, CAD systems including Autodesk Inventor, work from a bottom up design approach. In some cases it is beneficial to work with a top down approach to creating the model geometry for your designs. With features such as multi-body solid modelling, this is the focus of the course. You will also learn how to use productivity tools such as deriving components, working with layouts, sketch blocks, associative links, and adaptive parts in order to capture design intent within your 3D models.

Autodesk Inventor Design Variations and Representation

Autodesk Inventor allows the efficient creation and representation of designs, using both new and existing geometry. This Inventor Design Variations and Representation course focuses on using existing geometry to leverage pre-existing information in order to quickly create additional, or varied components and designs using iParts, iAssemblies and iFeatures. Once your designs are complete, learn how to aid assembly placement with iMates before controlling a components range of motion or generating simplified geometry for sharing with external organisations whilst protecting corporate IP.

Autodesk Inventor Presenting Designs with Image and Animation Tools

Building up a design is one thing, presenting that design to colleagues, clients or executives is another. Autodesk Inventor provides tools to visualise and present your designs to greater affect, and to allow a better understanding and communication of design intent and product use.

Add visual styles and realistic materials to your components before visualising with shadows, reflections and lighting effects. Both show and animate your designs being assembled in the Presentation Environment of Autodesk Inventor, to demonstrate how components relate to one another and better understand and appreciate design intent.

Autodesk Inventor Working with 3D Annotations and Model-Based Definitions

In modern 3D Modelling and Manufacturing Design Applications such as Autodesk Inventor, you are not required to wait until you are annotating your 2D drawings to design and display annotations next to your designs. Using Model Based Definitions (MBD) inside of Autodesk Inventor you can create 3D annotations to support the visual presentation of your model inside both Autodesk Inventor and 3D PDF files.

The Autodesk Inventor Working with 3D Annotations and Model-Based Definitions training course guides users through the Model Based Definition Workflow, from creating 3D annotations to linking these directly to your 2D drawings or exporting out to 3D PDF and STEP formats.
