Mastering Autodesk Inventor and Autodesk Inventor LT 2011 (Paperback)

Expert authors Curtis Waguespack and Thom Tremblay developed this detailed reference and tutorial with straightforward explanations, real-world examples, and practical tutorials that focus squarely on teaching Inventor tips, tricks, and techniques. The authors extensive experience across industries and their Inventor expertise allows them to teach the software in the context of real-world workflows and work environments. They present topics that are poorly documented elsewhere, such as design tactics for large assemblies, effective model design for different industries, strategies for effective data and asset sharing across teams, using 2D and 3D data from other CAD systems, and improving designs by incorporating engineering principles.

Mastering Inventor 2011 begins with an overview of Inventor design concepts and application before exploring all aspects of part design, including sketching, basic and advanced modeling techniques, working with sheet metal, and part editing. The book then looks at assemblies and subassemblies, explaining real-world workflows and offering extensive detail on working with large assemblies.

Weldment design is detailed next before the reader is introduced to the functional design using Design Accelerators and Design Calculators. The detailed documentation chapter then covers everything from presentation files to simple animations to documentation for exploded views, sheet metal flat patterns, and more. The following chapters explore crucial productivity-boosting tools, data exchange, the Frame Generator, and the Inventor Studio visualization tools. Finally, the book explores Inventor Professional's dynamic simulation and stress analysis features as well as the routed systems features (piping, tubing, cabling, and harnesses).

Mastering Inventor's detailed discussions are reinforced with step-by-step tutorials, and readers can compare their work to the downloadable before-and-after tutorial files. It also features content to help readers pass the Inventor 2011 Certified Associate and Certified Professional exams and will feature instructor support materials appropriate for use in both the training and higher education channels. Mastering Inventor is the ultimate resource for those who want to quickly become proficient with Autodesk's 3D manufacturing software and prepare for the Inventor certification exams.

 

專業作者Curtis Waguespack和Thom Tremblay開發了這本詳細的參考書和教程，其中包含了直觀的解釋、現實世界的例子和實用的教程，重點是教授Inventor的技巧和技術。作者們在不同行業的廣泛經驗和對Inventor的專業知識使他們能夠在實際工作流程和環境中教授軟體。他們提供了其他地方文檔不足的主題，例如大型組件的設計策略，不同行業的有效模型設計，團隊間有效共享數據和資產的策略，使用其他CAD系統的2D和3D數據，以及通過融入工程原理來改進設計。

《精通Inventor 2011》首先概述了Inventor設計概念和應用，然後探索了部件設計的所有方面，包括素描、基本和高級建模技術、與金屬板材的工作以及部件編輯。接下來，本書介紹了組件和子組件，解釋了現實世界的工作流程，並詳細介紹了處理大型組件的方法。

接著詳細介紹了焊接設計，然後介紹了使用設計加速器和設計計算器進行功能設計。詳細的文檔章節涵蓋了從演示文件到簡單動畫到爆炸視圖、金屬板材展開圖等的所有內容。接下來的章節探索了關鍵的提高生產力的工具、數據交換、框架生成器和Inventor Studio可視化工具。最後，本書探討了Inventor Professional的動態模擬和應力分析功能，以及路由系統功能（管道、管路、電纜和束帶）。

《精通Inventor》的詳細討論通過逐步教程得到了加強，讀者可以將自己的工作與可下載的教程文件進行比較。它還提供了幫助讀者通過Inventor 2011認證考試的內容，並提供了適用於培訓和高等教育渠道的教學支持材料。《精通Inventor》是那些希望迅速熟練使用Autodesk的3D製造軟體並準備Inventor認證考試的最終資源。
