Book Description
A comprehensive guide to Autodesk Inventor and Inventor LT
This detailed reference and tutorial provides straightforward explanations, real-world examples, and practical tutorials that focus squarely on teaching Autodesk Inventor tips, tricks, and techniques. The book also includes a project at the beginning to help those new to Inventor quickly understand key interface conventions and capabilities.
In addition, there is more information on Inventor LT, new practice drawings at the end of each chapter to reinforce lessons learned, and thorough coverage of all of Inventor’s new features. The author’s extensive experience across industries and his expertise enables him to teach the software in the context of real-world workflows and work environments.
Mastering Inventor explores all aspects of part design, including sketching, basic and advanced modeling techniques, working with sheet metal, and part editing. Here are just a few of the key topics covered:
Assemblies and subassemblies
Real-world workflows and offering extensive detail on working with large assemblies
Weldment design
Functional design using Design Accelerators and Design Calculators
Everything from presentation files to simple animations to documentation for exploded views
Frame Generator
Inventor Studio visualization tools
Inventor Professional’s dynamic simulation and stress analysis features
Routed systems features (piping, tubing, cabling, and harnesses)
The book’s detailed discussions are reinforced with step-by-step tutorials, and readers can compare their work to the downloadable before-and-after tutorial files. In addition, you’ll find an hour of instructional videos with tips and techniques to help you master the software.
Mastering Inventor is the ultimate resource for those who want to quickly become proficient with Autodesk’s 3D manufacturing software and prepare for the Inventor certification exams.
