Inventor Advanced

R7,400.00 ex VAT

Autodesk Inventor Advanced course is the second in a series of courses on the Autodesk Inventor software that is taught by Modena. The goal of this course is to build on the skills acquired in the Autodesk Inventor Fundamentals course by taking users to a higher level of productivity when designing part & assembly models using Autodesk Inventor.

In this course, the user considers various approaches to part design. Specific advanced part modeling techniques covered include multi-body design, advanced lofts, advanced sweeps, coils, generative shape design, surface modeling, and freeform modeling. Material aimed at increasing efficiency includes iFeatures for frequently used design elements, iParts for similar designs, and how to work with imported data. The course also covers some miscellaneous drawing tools, such as custom sketched symbols, working with title blocks and borders, and documenting iParts.

In addition to this, the user considers various approaches to the assembly environment. You begin by focusing on the Top-Down Design workflow. You learn how tools are used to achieve this workflow using Derive, Multi-Body Design, and Layouts. Other topics include model simplification tools, Positional and Level of Detail Representations, iMates and iAssemblies, Frame Generator, Design Accelerator, and file management and duplication techniques. A chapter has also been included about the Autodesk Inventor Studio to teach you how to render, produce, and animate realistic images.

Who Should Attend?

This course is great for someone who has experience working with Inventor, or someone who has attended Inventor Fundamentals training and wants to learn more advanced features in Inventor in order to improve their productivity and proficiency with the program.

Assembly Environment
  • Applying motion to existing assembly constraints using Motion and Transitional Constraints.
  • Introduction of the Top-Down Design technique for creating assemblies and its 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 Shrinkwrap and other model simplification tools to create a part model that represents an overall assembly.
