Inventor 2008 Advanced Assembly Modeling builds on the
skills acquired in the Inventor Introduction to Solid
Modeling and Advanced Part Modeling courses to take students
to a higher level of productivity creating and working
with assemblies in Inventor.
This course begins by discussing the concept of
Top-Down Design for assembly creation. Planning the assembly
using the top-down design approach helps create clean,
reusable geometry that interacts as expected with the
rest of the assembly. Throughout the course you will
be taught how various Inventor tools can be used to achieve
Top-Down Design practices in your assemblies. Other advanced
assembly topics include Positional and Level of Detail
Representations, iMates and iAssemblies, Frame Generator,
Design Accelerator and file management techniques that
aim to help you become more efficient when working with
assemblies.
Accurately communicating a design to all levels of a design
team is important. A chapter has been included on Inventor
Studio to teach you how to render and animate realistic
images. In addition you will learn about how to accurately
use the assembly bill of material functionality.
Topics
include:
•
Introduction
of the Top-Down Design technique for creating assemblies
and its components
•
Inventor
tools for Top-Down Design, including creating parts
and features in the context of the assembly, associative
links, adaptive parts, skeleton models, and derived
components
•
Applying
motion to existing assembly constraints using either
Drive Constraints or Motion and Transitional Constraints
•
Creating
Positional Representations of an assembly to review
motion, evaluate the position of assembly components,
or document an assembly in a drawing
•
Creating
Level of Detail Representations to reduce the clutter
of large assemblies, as well as reduce your time
spent waiting for your system to retrieve a large
number of components in an assembly.
•
Using
the Design Accelerator to easily insert standard
and customizable components and features into your
model
•
Using
iMates and iAssemblies to work efficiently with assemblies
•
Creating
rendered realistic images and animations of parts
and assemblies using Inventor Studio
•
Using
pattern, mirror, and copy techniques to duplicate
components in an assembly
•
Working
with assemblies to create accurate Bill of Materials
•
Using
the Frame Generator to create members in a structural
frame work
•
Link
system parameters and custom parameters to an external
spreadsheet file and use it to drive parameters in
the model.
Prerequisites: The
class assumes a mastery of Inventor basics as taught
in Inventor Introduction
to Solid Modeling. Inventor Advanced Part Modeling is recommended.
