Course Outline
AutoCAD, “INVENTOR” easy to use software enables engineers to create digital prototyping of: Process Piping, Structures, Machine Parts and Assemblies with Autodesk® Inventor® software enables users to engineer, visualize, and simulate static and dynamic motions and analyze strength of products digitally.
Step-by-step illustrated examples show how to use tools to create all types of three dimensional engineering three dimensional solid models.
This Inventor course is divided into 18 sections:
1. TYPICAL PARTS, ASSEMBLIES & DRAWINGS
2. FINITE ELEMENT STRESS ANALYSIS
3. PIPING AND STRUCTURES
4. SPRINGS
5. SPUR, BEVEL, & WORM GEARS
6. DESIGN ACCELERATOR
7. ENGINEER’S HANDBOOK
8. ASSEMBLY
9. START A 3D PART
10. RECTANGULAR PLATE WITH HOLES
11. SAVING A PART FILE
12. ROUND HOLES METHOD-1
13. ROUND HOLES METHOD-2
14. CIRCULAR HUB
15. CIRCULAR PATTERN OF HOLES
16. 3D PART TO DIMENSIONED DRAWING
17. MULTI-VIEW DIMENSIONED DRAWING
18. INVENTOR: MENUS, TOOLBARS, & PANELS
