Autodesk Inventor 2023: Advanced Assembly Modeling

The Autodesk® Inventor® 2023: Advanced Assembly Modeling guide builds on the skills acquired in the Autodesk® Inventor® 2023: Introduction to Solid Modeling and Autodesk® Inventor® 2023: Advanced Part Modeling guides to take you to a higher level of productivity when creating and working with assemblies.

You begin by focusing on the Top-Down Design workflow. You learn how tools are used to achieve this workflow using Derive, Multi-Body Design, and Layouts. Other topics include model simplification tools, positional representations, model states, iMates and iAssemblies, Frame Generator, Design Accelerator, and file management and duplication techniques. A chapter has also been included about the Autodesk Inventor Studio that explains how to render, produce, and animate realistic images.

Topics Covered:

• Applying motion to existing assembly constraints using Motion and Transitional constraints.
• Introduction of the Top-Down Design technique for creating assemblies and their components.
• Tools for Top-Down Design, such as associative links, adaptive parts, multi-body and layout design, derived components, and skeleton models.
• Creating positional representations to review motion, evaluate the position of assembly components, or document an assembly in a drawing.
• Using the model simplification tools to create simplified part models and views of assembly designs.
• Creating model states and iAssemblies to create customizable versions of assembly designs.
• Creating rendered realistic images and animations of parts and assemblies using Autodesk Inventor Studio and the Video Producer.
• Using the Design Accelerator and Frame Generator to easily insert standard and customizable components and features into your model.
• Efficiently duplicating components in an assembly.
  Adding welds and weld symbols to weldment assemblies.
