Again, this is fully integrated into the same workflow, as the data is fully transportable (with contacts auto-created where possible). These can be used to work out how loads transfer between components in motion and with respect to time, and then that data can be used to find maximum loading conditions and transfer all of the forces and loading data to Stress Analysis. This can be driven from manual inputs, but a more intelligent way is to use the assembly simulation tools. The Ansys-based, parts only limitation of previous versions has been dumped and you’ll now find the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) technology from Plassotech has been introduced to the core Inventor product, enabling full assembly analysis. This information can then be used to feed further Finite Element Analysis A perfect example is the changes made in stress analysis.Īssembly motion simulation uses physical simulation to find out how parts and drives interact. But what’s intriguing is how the new tools have been given the same reorganisation.
The categorisation of the commands (into discreet areas, such as design, assemble, inspect) is intuitive and is arranged sensibly. This means that the final shipped version has had all the rough spots knocked off, with users feeding back what’s good and bad, and it shows. In the last year or so we have seen the next Inventor UI be put through its paces on labs, along with many other tools which we’ll get to shortly. While many other vendors maintain a Labs website, where ‘in late development’ code is put out for public consumption and comment, Autodesk is engaging its user community at a much earlier stage. What’s interesting here is that alongside all of the acquired technologies, Autodesk has also been actually using its Labs website in earnest. Now, while I’ve railed against this in other forms, when it’s done right, it works and works well. The first thing you’ll notice is that the ribbon interface has been adopted across the entire Inventor suite of products.
So, with all this acquisition and development work going on, what does the 2010 release look like? Most integrated Inventor yetįirst off, Inventor 2010 looks incredible. Inventor 2010 introduces the Ribbon-based UI that’s been developed in consultation with users on Autodesk Labs website
