Drive the design intent of your model with sketch constraints, dimensions, and intelligent formulas for parameters.
Assess the fit and function of your assemblies and check for interferences as you build relationships between components.
Quickly place appropriate views and annotations in your drawings for manufacturing in Inventor or AutoCAD.
Share your design with a secure web link that can be accessed from any device to review, redline, and add comments.
Maintain an associative link as you open 3D models that were created and saved from other CAD applications.
Create parametric models, define BIM content, establish product rules, and seamlessly share your products with building design stakeholders through cloud-based collaboration.
Create a simplified 3D representation of your product along with the required metadata and product classification for use in a BIM project.
Apply your engineering knowledge in a customizable form to rapidly configure new designs powered by iLogic.
Use automated tools to create weld frame structures and simulate them using beam elements.
Build your sheet metal designs with options for industry-standard bend allowances to create accurate flat patterns for manufacturing.
Create manufacturing states, simplification levels, and more in the same part or assembly file.
Include 3D dimensions, annotations, and dimensional tolerances directly to your 3D model for downstream applications.Â
Choose from standard and customizable content libraries, including beams, bolted connections, gears, cams, belts, and springs.
Further optimize your designs with tools that help you find high and low concentrations of stress in your 3D model.
Use easy push/pull controls to move, rotate, resize, or scale features from imported geometries.
Freely sculpt the shape of your design by moving points, edges, and faces.
Open DWG™ files directly inside Inventor as the basis for your 3D model.
Use built-in calculators to inform the design of common joints such as welds, clamps, and press fits.
Use a combination of automated tools and full-control design functions in Inventor to build tube and pipe runs.
Integrate your electronics and mechanical designs into a single, complete definition of your product.
Speed up product development with tools that manage data, track revisions, and improve collaboration.
Apply forces to evaluate the motion, speed, and acceleration of your design.
Run quick checks on parts or perform in-depth analysis of the entire product at any stage.
Use exploded views and animations of complex assemblies in product documentation, manuals, and assembly instructions.
