Day 5 | Lesson 9 | Dynamic Simulation I |
Lesson 10 | Rendering and Animation | |
Lesson 11 | Advanced Design Project |
The material assumes a mastery of Autodesk Inventor basics, as taught in Inventor beginner and intermediate courses.
Users should know how to create and edit parts, use work features, create sheet metal parts, design automation tools, create and annotate drawing views, etc. The use of Microsoft Excel is required for this course.
Learning Objectives
- Learn how to 3D sketch for geometries that lie on several work planes
- Create frames using the tools contained within the Frame Generator environment, as well as learning various methods for creating and controlling the skeletal model that drives the layout of the frame.
- Create models for weld prep, welds, and machining in the Weldment Environment.
- Create complex sketches that define complex geometry in Autodesk Inventor using Splines and Surfaces
- Learn the basics of conducting stress analysis tests of parts and assemblies with Inventor, and uncover the weak points of your designs.
- Setup, run, and examine a basic frame analysis. learn how to analyse parts and assemblies, perform parametric design studies, and use modal analysis in the Frame Analysis Environment of Autodesk Inventor.
- Learn how to validate digital prototypes by simulating the operation of mechanisms and motorized assemblies in the Dynamic Simulation Environment.
- Design physical cables and harnesses for electrical systems in almost any kind of product or machine. Calculate accurate path lengths, avoid small-radius bends, and help ensure that electrical components fit into the mechanical assembly before manufacturing.
- Design routed elements, including tubing, piping, and flexible hose. These are rules-based routing tools that select the correct fittings and helps the pipe run to comply with your standards for segment length, round-off increments, and bend radius, that you will learn to maximize.
- Create a 3D rendering of an existing model in Autodesk Inventor. Learn how to change lighting, cameras styles, and background scenes to produce realistic images and animations.
