Inventor Advanced – Assembly Modeling

Build on Inventor solid- and part-modelling experience to work more efficiently with complex assemblies.

Start with top-down design using Derive, multi-body models and layouts. Continue with simplification, positional and level-of-detail representations, iMates, iAssemblies, Frame Generator, Design Accelerator and file-management methods. Inventor Studio exercises introduce realistic rendering and animation.

At the end of the course, you will be able to:

  • Applying motion to existing assembly constraints using either Motion or Transitional Constraints.
  • Introduction of the Top-Down Design technique for creating assemblies and its components.
  • Tools for Top-Down Design, such as associative links, adaptive parts, multi-body and layout design, derived components, and skeleton models.
  • Creating Positional Representations to review motion, evaluate the position of assembly components, or document an assembly in a drawing.
  • Using Shrink-wrap and other model simplification tools to create a part model that represents an overall assembly.
  • Creating Level of Detail Representations to reduce the clutter of large assemblies, reduce retrieval times, and substituting models.
  • Using the Design Accelerator to easily insert standard and customizable components and features into your model.
  • Creating rendered realistic images and animations of parts and assemblies using Autodesk Inventor Studio and the Video Producer.
  • Using iMates and iAssemblies to work efficiently with assemblies.
  • Using the Frame Generator to create members in a structural frame.
  • Using pattern, mirror, and copy techniques to duplicate components in an assembly.
  • Working with weldments.
  • Link and drive parameters to and from a spreadsheet. You also learn to custom format and create expressions in a parameter.
