Autodesk Inventor 2011
3D mechanical design, product simulation, tooling creation, and design communication

Autodesk Inventor solutions offer a comprehensive, flexible set of software for 3D mechanical design, product simulation, tooling creation, and design communication. Inventor takes you beyond 3D to Digital Prototyping by enabling you to design, visualize, and simulate your products.

  • Design - Integrate all design data into a single digital model.
  • Visualize - Create a virtual representation of your final product to market it before it’s built.
  • Simulate - Digitally simulate your product's real‐world performance.

Autodesk Inventor 2011 Products redefine "ease-of-use," with a revolutionary new design experience that features new methods for modeling parts and assemblies. Direct manipulation part modeling offers an uninterrupted design workflow. You can control all command inputs right at the point where you are directly affecting geometry. Dynamic Input in the Sketch Environment enables you to sketch more freely and directly. The new Assemble tool enables you to "snap" components together quickly and accurately.

 



Success story: Adept Airmotive
Manufacturing Industry Segment:
Light Aircraft and Aircraft Interiors

Project Description:
 
With digital prototyping, Adept develops an innovative, highly competitive aviation engine.

In fact, making changes that once resulted in tons of rework is now effortless. “With Inventor, we’re able to do parametric models so that we can change a wall thickness on motor packaging, for example, without having to remodel everything,” says Bakker. “What a huge advantage."

Processes that once took hours, such as changing geometry deep within a part, now are completed almost instantaneously in Inventor. And in less than two years, a core team of three people has produced an engine ready for tooling - an incredible accomplishment. “We’re very, very happy with Inventor software,” says Schulz.

Not only are ADEPT’s design processes more efficient, they are also having a big impact on project costs. “Inventor is saving us money because we don’t have to make many changes to tooling,” concludes Bakker. “Without Inventor, this project wouldn’t have been possible.”
