Description
The expert authoring team developed this detailed reference and tutorial with straightforward explanations, real-world examples, and practical tutorials that focus squarely on teaching vital Inventor tips, tricks, and techniques. Their extensive experience and Inventor expertise allows them to teach the software in the context of real-world workflows and work environments, and present topics that are poorly documented elsewhere, such as design tactics for large assemblies, effective model design for different industries, strategies for effective data and asset sharing across teams, using 2D and 3D data from other CAD systems, and improving designs by incorporating engineering principles.

 

The book begins with an overview of Inventor design concepts and application before exploring all aspects of part design, including sketching, modeling techniques, part features, tolerances, and more. Advanced part design chapters explain machined, cast, turned, plastic, and sheet metal parts, as well as sheet metal flat patterns and part reuse. Advanced assemblies chapters discuss assembly representations, strategies for working with large assemblies, degrees of freedom, mass properties, interference analysis, and more. The book then explores weldment design and functional design before the detailed documentation chapter, which covers everything from presentation files to simple animations to documentation for exploded views, sheet metal flat patterns, and more. The following chapters explore data exchange, frame design, and Inventor Studio. The final chapters discuss surface design and show how users can customize Inventor to their needs and use the Inventor API for creating macros and Inventor add-ins.
