Autodesk Inventor Advanced Assembly Modeling

Objectives
• Applying motion to existing assembly constraints using Motion and Transitional constraints.
• Introduction of the Top-Down Design technique for creating assemblies and their 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 the model simplification tools to create simplified part models and views of assembly designs.
• Creating model states and iAssemblies to create customizable versions of assembly designs.
• Creating rendered realistic images and animations of parts and assemblies using Autodesk Inventor Studio and the Video Producer.
• Using the Design Accelerator and Frame Generator to easily insert standard and customizable components and features into your model.
• Efficiently duplicating components in an assembly.
• Adding welds and weld symbols to weldment assemblies.
