This course covers the fundamental principles of 3D parametric part design, assembly design, and creating production-ready part and assembly drawings using Autodesk® Inventor. Students learn how to capture design intent by using the proper techniques and recommended workflows for:

• Creating intelligent 3D parametric parts
• Creating, placing, and constraining custom and standard components in an assembly
• Simulating mechanisms, animating assembly designs, and checking for interferences

Students also learn how to:

• Document their designs using base, projected, section, detail, and isometric drawing views
• Document assemblies using standard and exploded drawing views
• Follow drafting standards while dimensioning and annotating drawing views with automated balloons and parts lists

AutoCAD® Fundamentals Part 1

March 19-21, 2012  9:00am - 4:30pm. Register Now

Students learn the indispensable core topics for working with AutoCAD®. Starting with a few basic tools that enable students to create simple drawings. Then students will continue to develop those tools, as well as being introduced to more advanced tools.

Specific topics include:

• Understanding the AutoCAD® workspace and user interface
• Using basic drawing, editing, and viewing tools
• Organizing drawing objects on layers
• Inserting reusable symbols
• Preparing a layout to be plotted
• Adding text, hatching, and dimensions

AutoCAD® Fundamentals Part 2

March 22-23, 2012  9:00am - 4:30pm. Register Now

Students continue to learn more sophisticated techniques that extend your mastery of the program. For example, here you go beyond the basic skill of inserting a block to learn how to create blocks, and beyond the basic skill of using a template to understand the process of setting up a template.

Specific topics include:

• Using more advanced editing and construction techniques
• Creating local and global blocks
• setting up layers, styles, and templates

Autodesk® Inventor Advanced Part Modeling

February 7-8, 2012.  9:00am - 4:30pm. Register Now

Inventor Advanced Part Modeling is the second in a series of courses on Inventor. 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 designing part models in Inventor. In addition, students will learn about various drawing tools.

This course considers various approaches to part design and emphasizes useful strategies. Specific advanced part modeling techniques covered include: advanced lofts, advanced sweeps, coils, and surface modeling. Additional material aimed at increasing efficiency is also included: iFeatures for frequently needed design elements, iParts for similar designs, translation options for importing data, engineering notebook for communicating information, etc.

Specific topics include:

• 2D and 3D sketching techniques
• Advanced geometry creation tools
• Analysis tools
• Creating and editing basic surfaces
• Importing surfaces and surface repair tools
• Using iFeatures and iParts to work efficiently with part models
• Advanced drawing tools
• Importing and exporting data

Autodesk® Inventor Advanced Assembly Modeling

February 14-16, 2012.  9:00am - 4:30pm. Register Now

In this course, we begin 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 using Derive, Multi-Body Design, and Layouts. Other advanced assembly topics include Positional and Level of Detail Representations (including substitute), iMates and iAssemblies, Frame Generator, Design Accelerator, and file management and duplication techniques that aim to help you become more efficient when working with assemblies

Specific 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, multi-body design, layout design, derived components, and skeleton models.
• 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 documents as 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. You will also learn about Substitute Level of Detail Representations.
• 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 and the Video Producer.
• Using pattern, mirror, and copy techniques to duplicate components in an assembly.
• Using the Frame Generator to create members in a structural frame work.
• Working with weldments.
• Link system parameters and custom parameters to an external spreadsheet file and use it to drive parameters in the model. You will also learn about custom formatting and creating expression within a parameter.

Autodesk® Inventor Sheet Metal Design

February 28-29, 2012.  9:00am - 4:30pm. Register Now

Inventor Sheet Metal Design training introduces the concepts and techniques of sheet metal modeling with Autodesk® Inventor. The topics presented in this training guide enable students to create features that are specific to the sheet metal modeling process. The structure of the guide follows the standard sequence of design stages in Inventor. That is, to create sheet metal parts, edit them, generate flat patterns, and to document the designs in drawings.
