- Inventor 2011 Essentials
Description:Learn the fundamental principles of 3D parametric part design, assembly design, and creating production-ready part and assembly drawings using Autodesk® Inventor®. Hands-on exercises representing real-world, industry-specific design scenarios are included.
Course Objective:The primary objective of this course is to provide students with a thorough understanding of the principal 3D design, validation, and documentation processes necessary for developing products using Autodesk Inventor.
After completing this course, students will be able to:
- Capture design intent by using the proper techniques and recommended workflows for creating intelligent 3D parametric parts.
- Create, place, and constrain custom and standard components in an assembly.
- Simulate mechanisms, animate assembly designs, and check for interferences.
- Document designs using base, projected, section, detail, and isometric drawing views.
- Document assemblies using standard and exploded drawing views.
- Follow drafting standards while dimensioning and annotating drawing views with automated balloons and parts lists.
