Courseware Description

This courseware covers the fundamental principles of 3D parametric part design, assembly design, and creating production-ready part and assembly drawings using Autodesk® Inventor . Students learn how to capture design intent by using the proper techniques and recommended workflows for creating intelligent 3D parametric parts; creating, placing, and constraining custom and standard components in an assembly; and simulating mechanisms, animating assembly designs, and checking for interferences.

Students also learn how to document their designs using base, projected, section, detail, and isometric drawing views; document assemblies using standard and exploded drawing views; and follow drafting standards while dimensioning and annotating drawing views with automated balloons and parts lists.

Hands-on exercises representing real-world, industry-specific design scenarios are included.

Objectives

The primary objective of this course is to provide students with a thorough understanding of the principal 3D design, validation, and documentation processes that they will use to develop products using Autodesk Inventor. Upon completion of the course, students will be proficient in 3D part and assembly design, and in documenting those designs using part and assembly drawing creation and annotation techniques.

Who Should Attend

This courseware is designed for new Autodesk Inventor users.

Prerequisites

No previous CAD experience is necessary. However, drafting, design, or mechanical engineering experience

is a plus. It is also recommended that the student have a working knowledge of Microsoft® Windows® XP or Microsoft® Windows® 2000.
