I purchased this book because I had a gotten the hang of the basic tools for creating small assemblies and basic parts. I didnt really know how to get to the next step and really harness the power of Inventor.I was looking for a good explanation of some of its more advanced features as well as decent instruction.I was able to understand the different environment types, tools and software options that I would have otherwise overlooked or not understood fully without the help of this text.This book is recommended to anyone who is already familiar with Inventor but needs a good resource to learn the advanced features this program has to offer. Great Reference!
Product Description
A complete tutorial for the real-world application of Autodesk Inventor, plus video instruction on DVD
Used to design everything from airplanes to appliances, Autodesk Inventor is the industry-leading 3D mechanical design software. This detailed tutorial and reference covers practical applications to help you solve design problems in your own work environment, allowing you to do more with less.
It also addresses topics that are often omitted from other guides, such as Inventor Professional modules, design tactics for large assemblies, using 2D and 3D data from other CAD systems, and a detailed overview of the Inventor utility tools such as Design Assistant and Task Scheduler that you didn't even know you had.
- Teaches the most popular 3D mechanical design software in the context of real-world workflows and work environments
- Provides an overview of the Inventor 2010 ribbon Interface, Inventor design concepts, and advanced information on productivity-boosting and visualization tools
- Offers crucial information on data exchange, including SolidWorks, Catia, Pro-E, and others.
- Shares details on documentation, including exploded presentation files, simple animations, rendered animations and stills with Inventor Studio, and sheet metal flat patterns
- Covers Inventor, Inventor Professional, and Inventor LT
- Includes a DVD with before-and-after tutorial files, a searchable PDF of the book, innovative video tutorials for each chapter, and more
Mastering Autodesk Inventor teaches you to get the most from the software and provides a reference to help you on the job, allowing you to utilize the tools you didn't even know you had to quickly achieve professional results.
From the Back Cover
Create Full-Featured Digital Prototypes the Inventor Way
Whether you're designing airplanes, appliances, or industrial machinery, this complete guide to Autodesk Inventor 2010 shows you how to produce and manage build-worthy 3D virtual prototypes from the ground up. Inventor experts Curtis Waguespack and Loren Jahraus not only pack this reference with veteran insights and valuable engineering principles, they also cover topics that are rarely documented elsewhere.
You'll receive a thorough grounding in basic concepts before moving on to a wealth of advanced topics for professional environments, including standard and sheet metal part design, the dos and don'ts of working with large assemblies, setting up professional workflows, effectively sharing data, and more. The book fully covers Inventor 2010 and Inventor Professional 2010, including newly enhanced simulation tools for motion and finite element analysis.
Coverage includes:
Understanding the "Inventor way" of 3D mechanical design
Using the new interface effectively and productively
Transitioning from AutoCAD or third-party 3D design packages
Learning all aspects of part and assembly design, including sketching and modeling
