AutoCAD Training Overview

Inventor 2009 Advanced Assembly Modeling builds on the skills acquired in the Inventor Introduction to Solid Modeling and Advanced Part Modeling training guides to take students to a higher level of productivity creating and working with assemblies in Inventor.

Our training guide begins 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. This training guide covers the Inventor tools available for Top-Down Design, and other advanced assembly features aimed at increasing design efficiency, including Positional and Level of Detail Representations (including substitute), iMates and iAssemblies, Frame Generator, Design Accelerator and file management techniques.

What's new in 2009?

Accurately communicating a design to all levels of a design team is important, therefore a chapter has been added on Inventor Studio to teach users how to render, produce, and animate realistic images. In addition, users will learn how to accurately use the assembly bill of material functionality.
