The book begins with an overview of Inventor design concepts and application before looking at all aspects of part design, including solids vs. surfaces, sketching, part features, tolerances, and more. The advanced part design chapter explores machined, cast, turned, plastic, and sheet metal parts, as well as sheet metal flat patterns, part reuse, and part analysis. The next chapters focuses on assembly basics and discuss everything from design intent to skeleton or master modeling to constraints, weldments, assembly reuse and configuration and troubleshooting. The advanced assemblies chapter discusses assembly representations, strategies for working with large assemblies, bolted connections, degrees of freedom, mass properties, interference analysis, and more. The content center chapter looks at libraries and families, and the functional design overview discusses engineering vs. modeling with functional design as well as calculators andgenerators. The routed systems chapter then explores pipe, tube, hose and wire harness design as well as proper routing, styles, and reporting. The frame design chapter covers everything from using skeletons to cut lists, and the weldment design chapter looks at cosmetic and physical welds, operations, and more. The simulation and motion chapters explore everything from preparing designs to interpreting and sharing results. The detailed documentation chapter covers everything from presentation files to simple animations to documentation for exploded views, sheet metal flat patterns, and more. The following chapters offer overviews of Inventor tools, data exchange, and Inventor Studio. Next, collaborative strategies and set ups are covered before exploring how users can customize Inventor to their needs. Finally, an overview of the Inventor API discusses basic VBA macros and Inventor add-ins.
"Mastering Inventor"’ s CD features all the tutorial files necessary to complete the book’ s exercises, useful utilities, and a trial version of the Inventor software.
