AutoCAD Training Overview
Inventor 11: Advanced Modeling is the third in a series of courses on Inventor from Wintrac. The goal of this class is to build on the skills acquired in the Inventor Introduction to Solid Modeling and Intermediate Modeling courses to take students to a higher level of productivity in Inventor.
In this course, we begin by discussing the concept of Top-Down Design for assembly creation. Planning the assembly using the top-down design approach helps create clean, reusable geometry that interacts as expected with the rest of the assembly. Throughout the course you will be taught how various Inventor tools can be used to achieve Top-Down Design practices in your assemblies. Other advanced assembly topics include Positional and Level of Detail Representations, Design Accelerator and CAD management techniques that aim to help you become more efficient when working with assemblies.
AutoCAD Training Topics
- Introduction of the Top-Down Design technique for creating assemblies and its components.
- Inventor tools for Top-Down Design, including creating parts and features in the context of the assembly, associative links, adaptive parts, skeleton models, and derived components.
- Applying motion to existing assembly constraints using either Drive Constraints or Motion and Transitional Constraints.
- Analyzing model geometry using Inventor analysis types (Curvature, Zebra, Gaussian Curvature, Draft and Cross Section).
- Creating Positional Representations of an assembly to review motion, evaluate the position of assembly components, or document an assembly in a drawing.
- Creating Level of Detail Representations to reduce the clutter of large assemblies, as well as reduce your time spent waiting for your system to retrieve a large number of components in an assembly.
- Using the Design Accelerator to easily insert standard and customizable components and features into your model.
- Creating sketched symbols in drawings.
- Creating rendered realistic images and animations of parts and assemblies using Inventor Studio.
- CAD Management tools such as the Style Library Manager, the Style Management Wizard, as well as creating customized title blocks, borders and command options.
- Link system parameters and custom parameters to an external spreadsheet file and use it to drive parameters in the model.
AutoCAD Training Prerequisites
The class assumes a mastery of Inventor basics as taught in Inventor Introduction to Solid Modeling. Inventor Intermediate Modeling and a basic understanding of surface creation is recommended
