Join this session as we share the development road map and product strategy for Inventor Professional software, including some elements of the Autodesk Product Design & Manufacturing Collection. The presentation will cover recent and planned functionality that will add value to your everyday workflow needs. We encourage you to engage with Dan and members of the Inventor engineering team with questions and feedback during and after the session.

This class will demonstrate how to prepare your custom standard content for use with Inventor software’s Content Center. The Content Center can be a very useful and necessary tool for working with Frame Generator, Tube and Pipe, and Bolted Connections, among others. We will demonstrate how to author and publish pipe, pipe fittings, fasteners, structural shapes, and equipment such as pumps and heat exchangers.

Learn about the Inventor Professional software features for advanced mechanical engineering design, finite element analysis, motion simulation, data management, routed system and mold design, and enhanced CAD productivity.

Talking about a topic is one thing, seeing it is something else. This class will be a live demonstration of some of the key things to know about working with Inventor Tube & Pipe. I will demonstrate getting into the Tube & Pipe environment, set up a tube & pipe style, create a pipe assembly, add pipe runs and create pipe routes in them. I will then populate those routes using various tube & pipe styles. I will also edit and even break some of these routes to show ways of fixing things when your plan inevitably falls apart. The techniques shown will be those I use every day, but may not be the only correct methods.

Inventor software has been on the market for more than 20 years. The user base keeps growing. The amount of accumulated knowledge and documentation is staggering. Some workflows are not easy to understand. Some workflows are hard to document. Some workflows require contextual awareness to use. This presentation will share those useful tips and tricks to boost design productivity.

Transformation of engineering education has been a recent concern in the education and industry communities, with a call to integrate "science" and "application" through design. With health topping today’s issues, design of medical devices has become a major candidate for design applications to be taught to engineering undergraduates. This class describes the preparation and the delivery of an education module where rigorous subjects such as kinematics and strength of materials are taught in the context of designing medical devices. Autodesk® ForceEffect™ and Autodesk® ForceEffect™ Motion software are used to introduce concepts such as force and moment, and Autodesk® Inventor® Professional software is used to develop, simulate, and manufacture the devices designed by the students. This class covers a general design concept, followed by a case study that details design of a tissue microarrayer. This approach, due to its contextual nature, is also applicable to industry training centers.

In today's difficult times, all around the world engineers and designers like you are constantly facing challenges, including reducing costs, reducing weight, making innovative product designs faster, and on and on. In this session, we will take your designs to the next level by utilising the phenomenal Shape Generator and Stress Analysis available within Inventor Professional software. The session will go through workflows and tips based on industry best practices. The class will also demonstrate various examples of how designers like you have made effective use of Shape Generator and Stress Analysis. This session will also feature Nastran In-CAD for more advanced analysis for designers.

This class will present a workflow for effectively using the simulation tools in Inventor Professional software. The class highlights top Inventor software simulation tips, ways to solve real-life design problems with the Inventor Professional software simulation tools, and additional guidance to make you an expert in only 60 minutes. After this class you will be able to apply the Inventor software simulation capabilities more effectively so that you make better designs.

In this class, I run through the pros and cons and workflows for creating simulations in all 3 of the Inventor Professional software simulation tools. I highlight which tool is best to use and when, while also explaining the differences and comparing the results.

Utilizing the Frame Generator within Inventor Professional software, we will open a machine support structure to demonstrate an improved workflow for design. First we will suppress the machine model elements and then we’ll modify the frame to show how to improve timeliness of the analysis. Next we will perform a quick frame study within Inventor Professional software for the natural frequency and stress analysis. Then we will push the model directly to Robot Structural Analysis software to do some advanced analysis and loading. Finally, we will discuss optimization of the support structure. Throughout the presentation the discussion will focus on how to design a “stout” structure while not wasting time or material. This workflow will prove to be repeatable and efficient back at the office.

In this instructional demo, we'll design frames in an Inventor assembly environment. We'll perform calculations related to frame designing. We'll then apply the fasteners in assembly as required. We'll insert the power transmission components and springs in the frame. Finally, we'll perform frame analysis to test the frame strength. We'll take an example of a real-world model and help you understand how the products are developed from 0-100%.

In this exciting demo, we will connect Dynamo Studio to Inventor Professional associatively to automate the creation of a complex skeleton structure that we can use in Inventor Frame Generator to form it to a fully functional frame. Here we will learn how to use the optimized Boolean operation tools to generate production-ready parts to be used in an assembly. Using this workflow, we can capitalize on a product design workflow to achieve a structural design result.

Reverse engineering is an essential part of product development process. Whether you are a designer doing benchmark or retrofitting an older design, you need to work with incomplete data. Digesting the incomplete data and changing it into useful model geometry is a science and an art. Generally, most CAD tools have provided some capabilities to enable varying levels of reverse engineering. Inventor 2017 software particularly offers quite a few workflows to help the reverse engineering process. It enables the users to obtain high-fidelity results. Regardless of the formats of the source data (2D or 3D), these workflows provide interesting opportunities. This class will introduce various workflows and techniques with real-world examples. The attendees will get a better understanding of these workflows and learn how to tackle future reverse engineering tasks with ease. This session features Inventor Professional and Inventor Professional.
