Inventor 2009 Advanced Part 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 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.
The course also covers creating revision and hole tables as well as custom sketches
symbols which can all be added to a drawing. With an understanding of these tools,
students can begin to streamline the design and documentation process.
Topics
include:
•
2D
and 3D sketching techniques
•
Advanced
geometry creation tools (centerline and area lofts,
sweeps, coils)
•
Analysis
tools
•
Creating
and editing basic surfaces
•
Importing
surfaces & surface repair tools
•
Using
iFeatures and iParts to work efficiently with part
models
•
Advanced
Drawing tools (hole tables, revision tables and tags,
tables for iParts, surfaces in drawing views, custom
sketched symbols)
•
Importing
and exporting data
•
Adding
notes with the Engineer’s Notebook
The class assumes a mastery of Inventor
basics as taught in Inventor Introduction to Solid Modeling.
Students should know how to create and edit parts, use
work features, and create and annotate drawing views.
