Autodesk Inventor 2018 Introduction to Solid Modeling - Part 1 Ascent - Center for Technical Knowledge

The Autodesk(R) Inventor(R) 2018: Introduction to Solid Modeling training guide provides you with an understanding of the parametric design philosophy through a hands-on, practice-intensive curriculum. You will learn the key skills and knowledge needed to design models using Autodesk Inventor, starting with conceptual sketching, through to solid modeling, assembly design, and drawing production.




Topics Covered

Understanding the Autodesk(R) Inventor(R) software interface Creating, constraining, and dimensioning 2D sketches Creating and editing the solid base 3D feature from a sketchCreating and editing secondary solid features that are sketched and placedCreating equations and working with parametersManipulating the display of the modelResolving feature failures Duplicating geometry in the modelPlacing and constraining/connecting parts in assembliesManipulating the display of components in an assemblyDuplicating components in an assemblyObtaining model measurements and property informationCreating Presentation files (Exploded views and Animations) Modifying and analyzing the components in an assemblySimulating motion in an assemblyCreating parts and features in assemblies Creating and editing an assembly Bill of MaterialsWorking with projectsCreating and annotating drawings and views Customizing the Autodesk Inventor environment

Prerequisites
As an introductory training guide, Autodesk Inventor 2018: Introduction to Solid Modeling does not assume prior knowledge of any 3D modeling or CAD software. Students do need to be experienced with the Windows operating system and a background in drafting of 3D parts is recommended.
