Topics Covered Applying motion to existing assembly constraints using Motion and Transitional constraints. Introduction of the Top-Down Design technique for creating assemblies and their 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 the model simplification tools to create simplified part models and views of assembly designs. Creating model states and iAssemblies to create customizable versions of assembly designs. Creating rendered realistic images and animations of parts and assemblies using Autodesk Inventor Studio and the Video Producer. Using the Design Accelerator and Frame Generator to easily insert standard and customizable components and features into your model. Efficiently duplicating components in an assembly. Adding welds and weld symbols to weldment assemblies. Prerequisites Access to the 2022.0 version of the software, to ensure compatibility with this guide. Future software updates that are released by Autodesk may include changes that are not reflected in this guide.

Autodesk Inventor 2020: Advanced Part Modeling (Mixed Units)


Book Description

Autodesk(R) Inventor(R) 2020: Advanced Part Modeling is the second in a series of guides on the Autodesk(R) Inventor(R) software that is published by ASCENT. The goal of this guide is to build on the skills acquired in the Autodesk Inventor: Introduction to Solid Modeling learning guide by taking users to a higher level of productivity when designing part models using the Autodesk Inventor software. In this guide, 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 guide also covers some miscellaneous drawing tools, such as: custom sketches symbols, working with title blocks and borders, and documenting iParts. Topics Covered Advanced model appearance options 2D and 3D sketching techniques Multi-body part modeling Advanced geometry creation tools (work features, area lofts, sweeps, and coils) Analysis tools Generative shape design using Shape Generator Creating and editing basic surfaces, importing surfaces, and surface repair tools iFeatures and iParts Importing data from other CAD systems and making edits Working with AutoCAD DWG files Freeform modeling Emboss and Decal features Advanced Drawing tools (iPart tables, surfaces in drawing views, and custom sketched symbols) Adding notes with the Engineer's Notebook Prerequisites Access to the 2020.0 version of the software (or later). The practices and files included with this guide are not compatible with prior versions. Future software updates that are released by Autodesk may include changes that will not be reflected in this guide. The material assumes a mastery of Autodesk Inventor basics, as taught in Autodesk(R) Inventor(R) Introduction to Solid Modeling. Users should know how to create and edit parts, use work features, create and annotate drawing views, etc. The use of Microsoft Excel is required for this guide.







Technical Drawing 101 with AutoCAD 2015


Book Description

Technical Drawing 101 covers topics ranging from the most basic, such as making freehand, multiview sketches of machine parts, to the advanced—creating an AutoCAD dimension style containing the style settings defined by the ASME Y14.5-2009 Dimensioning and Tolerancing standard. But un-like the massive technical drawing reference texts on the market, Technical Drawing 101 aims to present just the right mix of information and projects that can be reasonably covered by faculty, and assimilated by students, in one semester. Both mechanical and architectural projects are introduced to capture the interest of more students and to offer a broader appeal. The authors have also created extensive video training (101 videos, nearly 11 hours total) that is included with every copy of the book. In these videos the authors start of by getting students comfortable with the user interface and demonstrating how to use many of AutoCAD's tools and commands. The videos progress to more advanced topics where the authors walk students through completing several of the projects in the book. The CAD portion of the text incorporates drafting theory whenever possible and covers the basics of drawing setup (units, limits, and layers), the tools of the Draw, Modify, and Dimension toolbars, and the fundamentals of 3D modeling. By focusing on the fundamental building blocks of CAD, Technical Drawing 101 provides a solid foundation for students going on to learn advanced CAD concepts and techniques (paper space, viewports, xrefs, annotative scaling, etc.) in intermediate CAD courses. In recognition of the diverse career interests of our students, Technical Drawing 101 includes projects in which students create working drawings for a mechanical assembly as well as for an architectural project. We include architectural drawing because our experience has shown that many (if not most) first-semester drafting students are interested in careers in the architectural design field, and that a traditional technical drawing text, which focuses solely on mechanical drawing projects, holds little interest for these students. The multidisciplinary approach of this text and its supporting materials is intended to broaden the appeal of the curriculum and increase student interest and, it is hoped, future enrollments.
