In this tutorial book you will learn step by step and in detail how to master Inventor Professional and its features with ease.
Are you interested in CAD design and creating three-dimensional objects for 3D printing or other applications (model making, prototypes, design elements,...)? Are you looking for a practical and compact beginner's course for the Inventor Professional software from Autodesk-whether for professional reasons or for personal development?
Then this Inventor Basics book is the right choice for you! In this comprehensive beginner's course you will learn all the basics you need for proper use of Inventor from Autodesk, in detail and step by step. This book is the all-in-one for getting started with Inventor Professional!
Learn to design, simulate, animate, and more with great real-world examples and design projects (e.g. 4-cylinder engine)!
Numerous illustrations (more than 300 color figures) support the book's explanations and thus create a clear and easy introduction to design, simulation and more!
Inventor offers besides CAD design ("Computer Aided Design") also the possibility to perform FEM simulations ("Finite Element Method"). The main focus of the course is on designing with Inventor, i.e. the CAD section of the program. However, the other functions will not be neglected and will of course be covered in detail, so don't worry!
This handy book contains everything you need to know to design (CAD), animate, render, simulate (FEM) and document (technical drawings) 3D parts on your PC using Inventor. You will learn how to use Inventor from Autodesk step by step and from scratch. The software and its functions are presented in detail and are clearly explained using great projects.
The advantages of this book at a glance: Learn step-by-step fundamentals of using Inventor with guidance from an engineer (Master of Engineering) and experienced user Hands-on learning with many great example projects Learn all sections of Inventor (CAD/Design, FEM/Simulation, Rendering, Animation, Technical Drawings) Get started with Inventor in a simple, straightforward & fast way Easy to follow explanations of the subject matter. Ideal for beginners, novices and absolute beginners of CAD design or just the software Learn everything important quickly!
