Animate a Camera within Inventor: How do you get a camera revolve around an assembly in Inventor 2010 and later versions? By utilizing two camera views you can give a full rotation of view of your product.
Dave Whiteley of Envisage UK shares several tips on how to best use the frame generator to create frames and assemblies.
Frame Generation: Inventor Professional has a frame generator. Using Inventor for Finite Element Analysis opens up many different possibilities in both material selection and design. Bob Van Der Donck, Autodesk Inventor product support technical lead, explains several ways to optimize your assembly designs when using the stress analysis module in Inventor. Since Inventor 2011, there has been a built-in o-ring generator that automates the process. Many longtime Inventor users still create o-rings manually. Autodesk Technical Evangelist Rob Cohee gives you a look into Lofted Flanges, Contour Rolls, Fold and Un-Fold, Punch tools, and more. In Inventor 2010 and newer versions, there are a number of tools that make sheet-metal design much easier. This video shows how to have your sweep follow them. Within the sweep function in Inventor 2011, there is also an option of having the profile follow a guide path and a guide surface. Sweep Using Guide Path and Guide Surface. That means they’ll be ready to use every time you make new bolted connections. Thousands of components are included in the Inventor library, and once all components are set, you can save them to favorites. Adding bolted components to an existing assembly design has been much easier in Inventor 2011 and beyond. There is no audio, as the video was intended for audiences that speak several different languages. This video shows the use of the G2 smooth condition when blending across loft profiles and the use of the tangent condition when lofting to a sketch point. The loft function allows product designers to create unique curvilinear and creative shapes within Inventor.
Previously, this could be accomplished using positional representations and contact sets to create constraints, but it’s quicker and easier using the constraint limits functionality. In Inventor 2011 and later versions, constraint limits allow you to limit the range of motion for an assembly. Use these 10 YouTube Inventor video tips and tricks to get the most out of your Inventor experience.ġ.
Inventor’s Parametric Studies and Optimization technology lets users modify design parameters from within the assembly stress environment, compare various design options, and update the 3D model with optimized parameters. The CAD/CAM software package allows part and product designers to create 3D digital prototypes that have been used in the design, visualization, and simulation of millions of products to date. Autodesk Inventor 3D CAD software gives users tools for product simulation, 3D mechanical design, tooling creation and design communication.
