This unique text and video set presents a thorough introduction to Autodesk Inventor for anyone with little or no prior experience with CAD software. It can be used in virtually any setting from four year engineering schools to on-the-job use or self-study. Unlike other books of its kind, it begins at a very basic level and ends at a very advanced level. It’s perfect for anyone interested in learning Autodesk Inventor quickly and effectively using a “learning by doing” approach. Additionally, the extensive videos that are included with this book make it easier than ever to learn Inventor by clearly demonstrating how to use its tools. The philosophy behind this book is that learning computer aided design programs is best accomplished by emphasizing the application of the tools. Students also seem to learn more quickly and retain information and skills better if they are actually creating something with the software program. The driving force behind this book is “learning by doing.” The instructional format of this book centers on making sure that students learn by doing and that students can learn from this book on their own. In fact, this is one thing that differentiates this book from others: the emphasis on being able to use the book for self-study. The presentation of Autodesk Inventor is structured so that no previous knowledge of any CAD program is required. This book uses the philosophy that Inventor is mastered best by concentrating on applying the program to create different types of solid models, starting simply and then using the power of the program to progressively create more complex solid models. The Drawing Activities at the end of each chapter are more complex iterations of the part developed by each chapter’s objectives. Since CAD programs are highly visual, there are graphical illustrations showing how to use the program. This reinforces the “learn by doing” philosophy since a student can see exactly what the program shows, and then step through progressive commands to implement the required operations. Rather than using a verbal description of the command, a screen capture of each command is replicated.

Note: This book is a continuation of Autodesk(R) Inventor(R) 2020: Introduction to Solid Modeling - Part 1 The Autodesk(R) Inventor(R) 2020: Introduction to Solid Modeling guide provides you with an understanding of the parametric design philosophy through a hands-on, practice-intensive curriculum. You will learn the key skills and knowledge required to design models using Autodesk Inventor, starting with conceptual sketching, through to solid modeling, assembly design, and drawing production. Topics Covered Understanding the Autodesk Inventor software interface Creating, constraining, and dimensioning 2D sketches Creating and editing the solid base 3D feature from a sketch Creating and editing secondary solid features that are sketched and placed Creating equations and working with parameters Manipulating the display of the model Resolving feature failures Duplicating geometry in the model Placing and constraining/connecting parts in assemblies Manipulating the display of components in an assembly Obtaining model measurements and property information Creating Presentation files (Exploded views) Modifying and analyzing the components in an assembly Simulating motion in an assembly Creating parts and features in assemblies Creating and editing an assembly Bill of Materials Working with projects Creating and annotating drawings and views Customizing the Autodesk Inventor environment Prerequisites Access to the 2020 version of the software. The practices and files included with this guide might not be compatible with prior versions. As an introductory guide, Autodesk(R) Inventor(R) 2020: Introduction to Solid Modeling does not assume prior knowledge of any 3D modeling or CAD software. You need to be experienced with the Windows operating system, and having a background in drafting of 3D parts is recommended.

Get acquainted with the awesome capabilities of Autodesk®'s newest software release for computer modeling! A concise yet comprehensive manual, Autodesk Inventor 9: An Introduction delineates the key functions of this powerful software program for designing and constructing 3D models. Logical, understandable coverage of all the major features of Autodesk Inventor demystifies the concepts of solid parts, assembly, presentation of assembly, and engineering drafting. Novices will progress from an introduction to computer modeling and Autodesk Inventor to solid modeling, sheet metal modeling, assembly modeling, exploded presentation, and outputting engineering drawings. More experienced users can jump ahead to learn advanced solid modeling methods, advanced assembly modeling methods, and more. All readers will benefit from two sets of projects that afford opportunities to practice using Inventor as a professional design tool in a real-world environment.
