Autodesk Inventor Professional
Autodesk Inventor includes a complete, flexible suite of 3D mechanical design and simulation software, workshop documentation, and realistic presentations.

By modeling in Autodesk Inventor, we have three different modeling methods available.

– parametric modelling consists in entering parameters and dimensions of 3D objects, rounds and chamfers during sketching
– direct modelling that allows you to move, rotate or scale elements without the need to find the right sketches for their geometries
– Free Form Modeling is where you most often start creating a basic shape – such as a cube, cylinder, sphere or plane – and freely move points, edges and sides to freely shape your design.

The innovative AnyCAD technology relies on the use of designs created in other CAD programs while maintaining their references to the latest updated versions of non-native files (from foreign formats). This ensures that you can work with the latest designs of parts or subassemblies without the need to translate these files. With an associated link to the source file, Inventor will automatically update the design in the event of any change.

Creating workshop documentation has never been so easy. Several functions allow you to quickly generate views, projections, and cross-sections of an element with dimensions and descriptions. The user can modify the dimensions in the flat documentation in order to change the geometry of the 3D model.

Design Accelerator is a set of tools that enable component generation based on engineering calculations. In the program, we can create bolted connections automatically, generate frames with their simultaneous analysis, and generate drive-transmitting components (shafts, cylindrical gears, chain drives, bearings) and springs.

Dynamic simulation is a module that allows you to trace the actual movement of the device after adding a kinematic or external load. Additionally, the user can analyze the values ​​of forces, displacements and moments acting on individual elements of the machine.

The user can carry out static analyzes in the linear range. The program includes functionality that allows you to transfer data directly from the dynamic simulation module.

The module enables the designed piping systems of machines and devices. The user has at his disposal an extensive library of standard parts for pipes, elbows, couplings, tees, etc. Based on the selected style, you can automatically create rigid routes for pipes with couplings, pipes with bends or hoses.

Autodesk Vault data management software is a centralized application included with Autodesk Inventor that allows teams to securely store and manage design data and related documentation. Design teams can track and manage all components of a digital prototype. As a result, they re-use relevant design data, manage BOMs, and can rely on prior collaboration with production teams and customers.
