INVENTER

Autodesk Inventor: Inventor is a computer aided design application for 3D mechanical design, simulation, visualization, and documentation. It was developed by Autodesk Company in the year September 20, 1999. It allows 2D and 3D data integration in a single environment, creating a virtual representation of the final product that enables users to validate the form, fit, and function of the product before it is built.

It includes parametric, direct edit, and freeform modeling tools as well as multi-CAD translation capabilities and in their standard DWG drawings. Latest version of Inventor software is Autodesk LT 2021, and Autodesk professional 2021, which came to market on 19 January 2021.

Course Objective: This course will cover parametric and direct modelling. The main objective of this course is to make students and corporate professionals proficient enough in CAD/CAE using Autodesk Inventor. The content of Inventor which we are providing here are, Sketching, Part design, Assembling, Drafting and detailing, sheet metal, surface modelling and GD&T standards with respect to manufacturing details. Inventor is equipped with all the capabilities that are required for completing a product design.

Latest Updates: New Release—Autodesk Inventor LT 2021, and Autodesk Inventor professional. As part of Autodesk they committed to deliver new designs more frequently, this version adds great new functionality to improve efficiency for engineers around the world and has resolved numerous issues that have been reported and thus highly recommend that you look to adopt this version and improve your working experience.

The principal developments and enhancements that are delivered in this new version of Inventor are:

Inventor eliminates the interruptions that prevent you from making progress. Complex geometry is created the way you think…without having to devise workarounds. The command you need shows up right at your cursor, right when you need it. And you can easily make changes without having to hunt for the right feature or fight with existing geometry and constraints.

Assembly modeling combines the strategies of placing existing components in an assembly, and creating other components in place within the context of the assembly. In a typical modeling process, some component designs are known and some standard components are used. Create the designs to meet specific objectives.

We can quickly create clear, accurate, and detailed drawings for manufacturing in this version.

Career opportunities:

Design is the heart of any process, an idea that begins in the mind of an engineer is then translated onto a paper and from there it is fed into software, a long taxing process at the end of which something brand new is brought forth into the world. 

Great new functionality to improve efficiency for engineers around the world and has resolved numerous issues that have been reported and thus highly recommend that you look to adopt Inventor to improve your working experience

After learning Inventor, will get opportunities to work in automotive, production companies

Frequently Asked Questions:
