Develop a strong foundation in parametric design with our Autodesk® Inventor®: Introduction to Solid Modeling course. This hands-on, practice-intensive training provides you with the essential skills and knowledge needed to design models using Autodesk Inventor. Starting with conceptual sketching, you’ll progress through solid modeling, assembly design, and drawing production, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the software’s capabilities.

Course Overview

This course introduces you to the core concepts of Autodesk Inventor, focusing on its parametric design philosophy. You’ll learn how to create, constrain, and dimension 2D sketches, develop 3D solid features, and assemble complex designs. The training also covers advanced topics such as working with parameters, resolving feature failures, and simulating motion in assemblies, ensuring you are well-prepared to tackle real-world design challenges.

What You'll Learn

• Autodesk Inventor Interface: Navigate and utilize the Autodesk Inventor software interface efficiently.
• 2D Sketching: Create, constrain, and dimension 2D sketches as the foundation for your 3D models.
• 3D Feature Creation: Develop solid base features and secondary features from sketches, enhancing your design capabilities.
• Working with Parameters: Create equations and manage parameters to control and refine your designs.
• Model Display and Geometry: Manipulate the display of your models and duplicate geometry to streamline your workflow.
• Assembly Design: Place and constrain parts within assemblies, simulate motion, and analyze components.
• Presentation Files: Create presentation files, including exploded views, to visually communicate your designs.
• Drawing Production: Produce and annotate detailed drawings and views to document your designs.
• Customization: Tailor the Autodesk Inventor environment to suit your specific design needs.

Prerequisites:

• Ensure you have access to the latest version of Autodesk Inventor for full compatibility. Please note that updates from Autodesk may introduce changes not covered in this course.
• This is an introductory course, so no prior knowledge of 3D modeling or CAD software is assumed. However, experience with the Windows operating system and a background in drafting 3D parts is recommended.
