For courses in Autodesk Inventor.
Going beyond the available Inventor manuals and references, this text first teaches Inventor step-by-step using many sample and exercise problems―and then shows how to apply it to design problems. Animation of assemblies is included.
Going beyond the available Autodesk Inventor manuals and references, this textbook
- begins by teaching Autodesk Inventor 6 using a step-by-step format
- then presents how to apply that knowledge to design problems in a realistic environment.
These features and topics are included to help users learn, practice, and master Autodesk Inventor skills:
- 8-chapter tutorial―Teaches the fundamentals of Autodesk Inventor and shows how to create models and assemblies.
- Dimensions and tolerances―Includes geometric tolerances, and uses ANSI standards. Also covers IO standards.
- Design creation using bearings, gears, cams, and tolerances―Shows how to use the Web to select standard parts
- Design management tools―Presents concept sketches, decision matrix, evaluation matrix, linear responsibility chart, Gantt charts.
- Nine design projects―Build a prototype, demonstrate prototype's performance capabilities, and create a set of drawings using Autodesk Inventor to document the design.
- Parametric modeling
- Animation of assemblies
