Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Autodesk(R) Inventor(R) 2020: Surface and Freeform Modeling guide teaches you how to incorporate surfacing and freeform modeling techniques into your design environment. You begin with instruction on how to create the splines and 3D sketches commonly used in surface creation. Chapters on surface creation focus on using these sketches or existing geometry to create surfaces for use in your solid models. Freeform modeling is also covered, which enables you to create complex shapes without needing the constraints required in a parametric workflow. To complete the guide, you will learn how to use the Autodesk Inventor surface analysis tools to evaluate the continuity between surfaces and the curvature on a surface, determine if the applied draft is within a specified range, and conduct section analysis to evaluate wall thickness values. The topics covered in this guide are also covered in ASCENT's Autodesk(R) Inventor(R) 2020: Advanced Part Modeling guide, which includes a broader range of advanced learning topics. Topics Covered Create spline and 3D sketched entities. Create planar and three-dimensional surfaces. Combine individual surface features into a single quilted surface. Add or remove material in a model by referencing a surface. Create solid geometry using surface geometry. Remove portions of a surface using a reference surface or work plane. Manipulate the extent of a surface by extending or stretching it. Create a new solid face by replacing an existing solid face with surface geometry. Remove existing surfaces or solid faces from a model. Copy surfaces from one model into another. Create freeform geometry base shapes, faces, and converted geometry. Edit freeform base geometry by manipulating existing geometry or adding new elements to the base shape. Use the surface analysis tools to evaluate continuity between surfaces, check draft values, analyze curvature on a surface, and review sectioned areas of the model.

Download or read book Autodesk Inventor 2021 Parametric Design and ILogic for Beginners written by Fabian Stasiak and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-16 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student, designer, engineer? Start your adventure with Autodesk Inventor This book is intended for people for whom this is the first contact with Autodesk Inventor 2021 software. However, individuals who are familiar with the program will find here useful information about using parametrization techniques for the streamline creation of variants of the product. In this manual, you will find extensive descriptions and detailed illustrations explaining the tools used and the correct workflow techniques. The book presents three examples of the use of the software. Example No 1. Designing a complete product In the first example, you will learn how to work in Inventor, from scratch. You will create a project of a simple drill vise, on which you will learn the basic operations of modeling and creating drawing documentation. This example emphasises the principles of project management, from a single part through designing parts in the context of the assembly, checking the basic kinematics of the product, and further creating a complete drawing documentation containing item numbers and a parts list, as well as an exploding view of the product, rendered illustration and video for marketing purposes. Then, thanks to the program parameterization and skillful file management, you will quickly create a new version of the drill vise with a complete set of drawing documentation as well as a rendered illustration and video of the new version of the product. Example No 2. Component libraries Most of the products being designed, use components purchased from external suppliers. For this reason, parametric 3D models of purchased components, which can be quickly inserted into the project instead of modeling each time from scratch, offer the greatest possible convenience for the constructor. In addition, component library files should be properly described, so that they are correctly presented in the bill of materials and also it should be placed in the library resources area, which will protect them from accidental editing. The examples presented here will teach you how to prepare your own parametric libraries of purchased components. Example No 3. The parametric generator of product versions In the third example, you will create a parametric generator for making a simple metal casing that allows you to obtain a model of any size, with or without handles and pre-prepared drawing documentation for each version. The generated version of the casing can be further modified in order to obtain the final appearance. In this example, you will learn the basics of designing sheet metal parts, the use of parameters in parts and in the assembly, and you will learn the basics of programming using iLogic and how to use iLogic parametric version generators. And... No additional files for download are required to complete the designs described - all files will be created from scratch in the exercises in sequence. Most of this manual is also compatible with previous versions of Inventor. The completed Table of Contents of this book and set of illustrations of the examples used in the book you can find on: www.expertbooks.eu.
