The Autodesk(R) Inventor(R) 2020: Surface and Freeform Modeling guide teaches you how to incorporate surfacing and freeform modeling techniques into your design environment. You begin with instruction on how to create the splines and 3D sketches commonly used in surface creation. Chapters on surface creation focus on using these sketches or existing geometry to create surfaces for use in your solid models. Freeform modeling is also covered, which enables you to create complex shapes without needing the constraints required in a parametric workflow. To complete the guide, you will learn how to use the Autodesk Inventor surface analysis tools to evaluate the continuity between surfaces and the curvature on a surface, determine if the applied draft is within a specified range, and conduct section analysis to evaluate wall thickness values. The topics covered in this guide are also covered in ASCENT's Autodesk(R) Inventor(R) 2020: Advanced Part Modeling guide, which includes a broader range of advanced learning topics. Topics Covered Create spline and 3D sketched entities. Create planar and three-dimensional surfaces. Combine individual surface features into a single quilted surface. Add or remove material in a model by referencing a surface. Create solid geometry using surface geometry. Remove portions of a surface using a reference surface or work plane. Manipulate the extent of a surface by extending or stretching it. Create a new solid face by replacing an existing solid face with surface geometry. Remove existing surfaces or solid faces from a model. Copy surfaces from one model into another. Create freeform geometry base shapes, faces, and converted geometry. Edit freeform base geometry by manipulating existing geometry or adding new elements to the base shape. Use the surface analysis tools to evaluate continuity between surfaces, check draft values, analyze curvature on a surface, and review sectioned areas of the model. Prerequisites Access to the 2020.0 version of the software, to ensure compatibility with this guide.

In Engineering Design Graphics with Autodesk Inventor 2020, award-winning CAD instructor and author James Bethune shows students how to use Autodesk Inventor to create and document drawings and designs. The author puts heavy emphasis on engineering drawings and on drawing components used in engineering drawings such as springs, bearings, cams, and gears. It shows how to create drawings using many different formats such as .ipt, .iam, ipn, and .idw for both English and metric units. It explains how to create drawings using the tools located under the Design tab and how to extract parts from the Content Center. Chapter test questions help students assess their understanding of key concepts. Sample problems, end-of-chapter projects, and a variety of additional exercises reinforce the material and allow students to practice the techniques described. The content of the book goes beyond the material normally presented in an engineering graphics text associated with CAD software to include exercises requiring students to design simple mechanisms. This book includes the following features: Step-by-step format throughout the text allows students to work directly from the text to the screen and provides an excellent reference during and after the course. Latest coverage for Autodesk Inventor 2020 is provided. Exercises, sample problems, and projects appear in each chapter, providing examples of software capabilities and giving students an opportunity to apply their own knowledge to realistic design situations. Examples show how to create an animated assembly, apply dimension to a drawing, calculate shear and bending values, and more. ANSI and ISO standards are discussed when appropriate, introducing students to both so they learn appropriate techniques and national standards.

Welcome to the seventh edition of Up and Running with Autodesk(R) Inventor(R) Professional 2020 - Step by step guide to Engineering Solutions. This edition of the book is completely updated to the current 2020 version.This book has been written using actual design problems, all of which have greatly benefited from the use of Simulation technology. For each design problem, I have attempted to explain the process of applying Stress Analysis using a straightforward, step by step approach, and have supported this approach with explanation and tips. At all times, I have tried to anticipate what questions a designer or development engineer would want to ask whilst he or she were performing the task and using Stress Analysis. The design problems have been carefully chosen to cover the core aspects and capabilities of Stress and Frame Analysis and their solutions are universal, so you should be able to apply the knowledge quickly to their own design problems with more confidence. The book basically comprises of five sections: Stress Analysis Environment (Chapter 1), Design Problems using Solid Elements (Chapter 2-7), Design Problems using Thin and Solid Elements (Chapter 8-11), Modal Analysis (Chapter 12) and Frame Analysis (Chapter 13 - 16). Chapters 1 & 13 provide an overview of stress, frame, Shape Generator and the user interface and features so that you are well-grounded in core concepts and the software's strengths, weaknesses and work around. Each design problem illustrates a different unique approach and demonstrates different key aspects of the software, making it easier for you pick and choose which design problem you want to cover first; therefore, having read chapter 1 and 13, it is not necessary to follow the rest of the book sequentially. This book is primarily designed for self-paced learning by individuals but can also be used in an instructor-led classroom environment. I hope you will find this book enjoyable and at the same time very beneficial to you and your business. I will be very pleased to receive your feedback, to help me improve future editions.
