The Autodesk® Inventor® 2019: Advanced Assembly Modeling learning guide builds on the skills acquired in the Autodesk Inventor 2019: Introduction to Solid Modeling and Autodesk Inventor 2019: Advanced Part Modeling learning guides to take students to a higher level of productivity when creating and working with assemblies.

You begin by focusing on the Top-Down Design workflow. You learn how tools are used to achieve this workflow using Derive, Multi-Body Design, and Layouts. Other topics include model simplification tools, Positional and Level of Detail Representations, iMates and iAssemblies, Frame Generator, Design Accelerator, and file management and duplication techniques. A chapter has also been included about the Autodesk® Inventor® Studio to teach you how to render, produce, and animate realistic images.

Topics Covered:

• Applying motion to existing assembly constraints using Motion and Transitional Constraints.
• Introduction of the Top-Down Design technique for creating assemblies and its components.
• Tools for Top-Down Design, such as associative links, adaptive parts, multi-body and layout design, derived components, and skeleton models.
• Creating Positional Representations to review motion, evaluate the position of assembly components, or document an assembly in a drawing.
• Using Shrinkwrap and other model simplification tools to create a part model that represents an overall assembly.
• Creating Level of Detail Representations to reduce the clutter of large assemblies, reduce retrieval times, and substituting models.
• Using the Design Accelerator to easily insert standard and customizable components and features into your model.
• Creating rendered realistic images and animations of parts and assemblies using Autodesk Inventor Studio and the Video Producer.

Prerequisites:

• Access to the 2019 version of the software. The practices and files included with this guide might not be compatible with prior versions.
• The class assumes mastery of Autodesk Inventor basics as taught in Autodesk® Inventor®: Introduction to Solid Modeling. In addition, Autodesk® Inventor®: Advanced Part Modeling knowledge is recommended.
• The use of Microsoft® Excel is required for this training course.
