Autodesk Inventor Training

The Autodesk Inventor Introduction to Solid Modeling training course 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 create 3D models using Autodesk Inventor, starting with conceptual sketching, through to solid modeling, assembly design, and drawing production.y

The main topics covered in this Autodesk Inventor training course include:

• Understanding the Autodesk® Inventor® software interface
• Creating, constraining, and dimensioning 2D sketches
• Creating and editing the solid base 3D feature from a sketch
• Creating and editing secondary solid features that are sketched and placed
• Creating equations and working with parameters
• Manipulating the display of the model
• Resolving feature failures
• Duplicating geometry in the model
• Placing and constraining/connecting parts in assemblies
• Manipulating the display of components in an assembly
• Duplicating components in an assembly
• Obtaining model measurements and property information
• Creating Presentation files (Exploded views and Animations)
• Modifying and analyzing the components in an assembly
• Simulating motion in an assembly
• Creating parts and features in assemblies
• Creating and editing an assembly Bill of Materials
• Working with projects
• Creating and annotating drawings and views
• Customizing the Autodesk Inventor environment

As an introductory training course, Autodesk Inventor 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 design or drafting is recommended.

The Inventor Introduction to Solid Modeling training guide, instructs students in the best use approaches for parametric design philosophy through a hands-on, practice-intensive curriculum.

Students acquire the knowledge needed to complete the process of designing models from conceptual sketching, through to solid modeling, assembly design, and drawing production.

The main topics covered in the course include:

• The Autodesk® Inventor® software interface
• Creating 2D sketches
• Constraining and dimensioning sketches
• Generating 3D parts from sketches
• Part modeling, adding, and editing 3D features
• Work Features
• Creating equations and working with parameters
• Model geometry and model display manipulation
• Resolving feature failures
• Feature duplication techniques
• Establishing and working with model relationships
• Placing and constraining parts in assemblies
• Assembly component display
• Model Information
• Presentation files (Exploded views)
• Assembly tools
• Creating parts and features in assemblies
• Assembly bill of materials
• Working with projects
• Creating and annotating drawings and views
• Customization

Not all aspects of Inventor can be addressed within the time limits of an introductory training guide. Advanced techniques and features are covered in more advanced level courses.
