AutoCAD Training Overview
Inventor Advanced Part and Assembly Modeling is the second in a series of courses on Inventor from ASCENT. The goal of this class is to build on the skills acquired in the Inventor Introduction to Solid Modeling course to take students to a higher level of productivity in Inventor.
In this course we consider various approaches to part and assembly design and emphasize useful strategies. Advanced part modeling techniques covered here include 3D sweeps and coils, surfaces as modeling tools, and sheet metal parts. We also present some of Inventor's most powerful techniques for assembly modeling, including the use of linked parameters to relate dimensions between components, and the creation of iParts to define multiple versions of a part.
AutoCAD Training Topics
- Advanced Part Modeling (lofts, 3D sweeps, etc.)
- Surfaces and hybrid parts
- iFeatures and iParts
- Adaptive design and iMates
- Sheet metal parts
- Lightning, materials, and color styles
- Projects and file management
