Inventor 11 Intermediate
Modeling is the second in a series of courses on Inventor
from ASCENT. The goal of this class is to build on
the skills acquired in the Inventor Introduction to
Solid Modeling course to take students to a higher
level of productivity in Inventor.
In this course we consider various approaches to part
and assembly design and emphasize useful strategies.
Advanced part modeling techniques covered here includes
advanced lofts, advanced sweeps and coils. We also present
some of Inventor’s most powerful techniques for
assembly modeling, including the creation of iParts and
iAssemblies to define multiple versions of a part or
assembly.
Other advanced features covered in the class are aimed
at increased efficiency: iFeatures for frequently needed
design elements, iMates to automate assembly constraints,
projects for managing files, etc. With an understanding
of these tools, students can begin to streamline the design
process and shape Inventor to their own uses.
