The new Design Feed tool brings project collaboration closer to social networks, enabling stakeholders to become more involved.
AutoCAD Architecture created especially for architects, makes work on design and documentation even more effective. The software is available in the collections: Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection and Autodesk Product Design Collection.
Thanks to extremely efficient tools for creating documentation of 2D and 3D projects and schedules, it speeds up the design process from concept to execution. It connects design concepts with the real world thanks to interactive maps, geolocation tools and new possibilities for capturing surroundings.
AutoCAD Electrical automates the most frequently performed tasks when designing electrical installations and devices, which undoubtedly speeds up work and reduces the number of errors. The advantage of the program is the ability to generate reports at every stage of design, showing the lists of components and connection lists. The AutoCAD Electrical package has all the functionality of AutoCAD and, additionally, libraries of electrical symbols, and libraries of PLC I / O drivers, which also speeds up and facilitates the creation of projects.
AutoCAD® Map 3D is a model-driven application for creating the thematic mapping, data management and analysis. This software allows GIS specialists, planners and town planners and engineers to access data, analyze it, modify it and then share it. All this so that they could ultimately make better decisions.
AutoCAD Mechanical is AutoCAD designed to accelerate the 2D mechanical design process. The program includes all AutoCAD functions enriched with libraries of standard elements and tools that automate common design tasks.
AutoCAD® MEP is a set of features and tools for building installation design and documentation based on the well-known AutoCAD environment. It is software that allows you to significantly increase their efficiency and accuracy by automating drafting tasks. It connects design concepts with the real world thanks to interactive maps, geolocation tools and new possibilities for capturing surroundings. AutoCAD MEP allows design teams to improve coordination, save time on repetitive tasks, and complete projects faster.
AutoCAD Plant 3D is the perfect software to help you create industrial piping. The program is based on the AutoCAD interface, thanks to which the learning and implementation process is much shorter than that of similar competing systems. The program has a built-in AutoCAD and AutoCAD P&ID module, thanks to which you can create technological diagrams. AutoCAD Plant 3D offers the possibility of creating isometric documentation and modules, thanks to which this documentation can be adapted to your needs. Projections, sections and views are other types of documentation that can be obtained from a previously built model. The project is created based on catalogs of elements that can be easily managed.
AutoCAD Raster Design is an advanced vector tool that helps you edit and correct scanned drawings to make the best use of raster images, maps, aerial photos, satellite images and digital terrain models. The program includes the function of converting a raster image to a vector image.
Autodesk Factory Design Utilities is a solution for designing and optimizing plant plans. It enables the design and presentation of optimal plans thanks to the creation of a digital model of the plant. The solution extends the capabilities of AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor with specialized, shared plan creation procedures and an object library for manufacturing plants.
Autodesk Inventor Professionaloffers a universal set of tools for three-dimensional prototyping of machines and devices, creating CAD workshop drawings. It enables the generation of engineering and production documentation based on digital prototypes. Enriched with visualization tools, it allows you to quickly create photorealistic renderings and animations.
Inventor Nastran is Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software. It uses the Nastran computational kernel for the calculations. The program offers linear and nonlinear analyzes, dynamics and heat transfer. It is directly integrated with CAD software, including Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks.
Inventor Nesting it is an advanced solution that automates the time-consuming process of unfolding sheet metal cuts on a flat sheet. Nesting automatically searches for the most optimal plate layout, which will enable the best process efficiency. In addition, it gives the user the opportunity to influence the key parameters of the layout in such a way that the layout is even better and corresponds to the current needs of the user.
Autodesk Inventor Nastran is part of the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection and acts as an overlay for Inventor Professional thanks to the integration of these two environments making any changes to the model automatically introduces changes to Nesting, making the work quick and easy.
The program further allows us to export the finished sheet layout to a 3D model and DXF format on the basis of which the cutting paths can be generated on the machine. It is worth mentioning that the PD&M Collection also includes an advanced CAM module, thanks to which, by using the collection, we are able to deal with sheet metal elements in a comprehensive manner, from design to production.
Inventor CAM (formerly known as HSM) offers fully integrated CAD-CAM capabilities for computer-aided manufacturing. It enables the preparation of machining operations for CNC machines and generates CAM paths for milling, turning, drilling, cutting, and other operations. It supports machines with 2 to 5 axes.
Inventor CAM is available exclusively as part of the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection software package and operates within Autodesk Inventor. Upon launching Autodesk Inventor, you will notice a new CAM tab on the toolbar. The CAM tab will display visible, active, and ready-to-use commands when you create or open a part or assembly file in Inventor.
Navisworks tools allow you to coordinate, simulate the construction and analyze an entire project for an integrated project. Autodesk Navisworks Manage allow for more accurate inspection results with advanced coordination, 5D analysis, and simulation tools.
Autodesk 3ds Max – one of the most valued and extensive graphic programs on the market.
Dedicated to the needs of visual effects creators, generating three-dimensional models and animations in the form of photorealistic rendering. It is used by the film industry, game production and by designers in the following industries:
– architectural and construction,
– infrastructure,
– industrial,
– mechanical.
3ds Max software is available from all industry collections as well as an individual Autodesk product.
Autodesk Vault Basic is an intuitive engineering integrated tool for managing documentation, its life cycle, product life cycle and data exchange with ERP systems.
Depending on the version, Autodesk Vault allows you to manage documents / PDM / (Basic version) to product lifecycle management / PLM / (Professional version). Vault software helps design, engineering, and manufacturing departments collaborate and share digital document information using a range of tools and connecting design teams in different locations. Advanced tools allow you to track engineering change orders, manage bills of materials (BOM) and integrate with ERP systems.
AutoCAD 360 Pro is now available by subscription. The app lets you take AutoCAD anywhere:
Autodesk Fusion 360 is a cloud-based product design and development platform combining 3D CAD, CAM, CAE tools. It provides tools for industrial design, mechanical design, computational simulation and machining in one package. The platform enables quick and easy implementation of design ideas and ideas in an integrated environment – from concept to production.
With ReCap 360, you can share and download actual measurements using laser scans and create professional 3D clouds and meshes from high-resolution photos.
By using Render in Autodesk A360, you can create attractive, near-photorealistic visualizations thanks to almost infinite processing power on the Autodesk server.
The advantage of this solution is the creation of renderings with highly developed settings options without having expensive equipment that will be able to perform such renderings. Until now, the problem with rendering was not being able to use the computer because all the processing power was spent on rendering. In the case of rendering in Autodesk A360, we can keep working, and the rendering is performed outside our computer.
