Full Description:

Aim
This entry level 4 day course is designed to enable delegates to understand the basics of Mechanical Computer-Aided-Design and Autodesk Inventor. It provides for a hands-on foundation course which covers the skills necessary to use Inventor for creating and editing parts, assemblies, and drawings. You will also learn how this enables you to accelerate your design cycles, manage data, and improve product development.

Course Objectives

• Start a part or model, understand sketch containment.
• Control 3D features and edit sketches.
• Generate 2D drawings from 3D models.
• Model a parts assembly, manage a subassembly

Content

On completion of the course, delegates will have covered:

Getting Started

• Identify the main user interface components that are common to all Autodesk Inventor design environments
• Describe the characteristics and benefits of a parametric part model

Basic Sketching Techniques

• Use sketch tools to create 2D sketch geometry
• Use geometric constraints to control sketch geometry
• Apply parametric dimensions to your sketch geometry

Basic Shape Design

• Create features using the Extrude and Revolve tools
• Use reference and construction geometry
• Use the browser and shortcut menus to edit parametric parts
• Create, locate, and use work features to perform modeling tasks
• Create swept shapes by sweeping a profile along a 2D or 3D path

Detailed Shape Design

• Create both chamfers and fillets on a part
• Use the Hole and Thread tools to place hole and thread features on your part model
• Create rectangular and circular patterns and mirror existing features
• Create thin-walled parts using the Shell tool

Assembly Design Overview

• Describe the assembly modeling process, the Autodesk Inventor assembly modeling environment and recommended assembly design workflows
• Describe how to use Autodesk Inventor project files to manage design projects
• Use the assembly environment and create and edit project files

Placing, Creating, and Constraining Components

• Place components in an assembly
• Place assembly constraints on components in the assembly
• Use the Content Center to place standard components into assembly design
• Create new components in the context of the assembly

Interacting with an Assembly

• Use different tools and methods to indentify, locate, and select components in an assembly
• Retrieve important information from parametric models and assemblies
• Create animations of exploded views in a presentation file

Basic View Creation

• Navigate the user interface when creating and editing drawing sheets
• Create base and projected views of 3D parts and assemblies
• Create and edit section views
• Create and edit detail views
• Manage drawing views

Dimensions, Annotations, and Tables

• Dimension drawings with automated techniques
• Dimension drawings with manual techniques
• Add centerlines, center marks, and symbols to your drawing
• Configure, add, and edit revision tables and revision tags

Annotating Assembly Drawings

• View and edit bill of materials data
• Create and customize parts lists to document the components in your assembly
• Review balloons and their purpose in the drawing annotation process
• Create and place balloons in a drawing

Drawing Standards and Resources

• Set Drafting standards to control the appearance of drawing features
• Use drawing resources to create multiple sheets and add borders and title blocks to your drawings

On completion of the course, the delegates will receive an Autodesk Training Centre Certificate.
