Description
This guide is designed to help users create more efficient and professional looking part models using the Autodesk Inventor software. It covers a variety of advanced techniques, including multi-body design, advanced geometry creation tools, analysis tools, and Freeform modeling. Additionally, it covers features that are aimed at making part modeling more efficient, such as iFeatures and iParts.
Advanced Part Modeling
Autodesk Inventor 2020: Advanced Part Modeling is the second in a series of guides on the Autodesk Inventor software that is published by ASCENT. The goal of this guide is to build on the skills acquired in the Autodesk Inventor: Introduction to Solid Modeling learning guide by taking users to a higher level of productivity when designing part models using the Autodesk Inventor software.
In this guide, the user considers various approaches to part design. Specific advanced part modeling techniques covered include: multi-body design, advanced lofts, advanced sweeps, coils, generative shape design, surface modeling, and Freeform modeling. Material aimed at increasing efficiency includes: iFeatures for frequently used design elements, iParts for similar designs, and how to work with imported data. The guide also covers some miscellaneous drawing tools, such as: custom sketches symbols, working with title blocks and borders, and documenting iParts.
