Autodesk Inventor Simulation Suite

Inventor helps designers to realize the benefits of Digital Prototyping by giving them the freedom to reuse their existing DWG™ designs in a 3d design environment. Inventor lets users read and write native DWG files without risking inaccurate translations, and leverage valuable DWG data to build accurate 3d part models the first time. Inventor includes tools to easily create and document 3d designs, and provides unparalleled interoperability with competitive manufacturing applications—simplifying collaboration with other companies.

The Autodesk Inventor product line provides a comprehensive and integrated set of design tools for producing and documenting complete digital prototypes that validate the form, fit, and function of a design. The Inventor model is an accurate 3d digital prototype that enables users to check design and engineering data as they work, minimize the need for physical prototypes, and reduce costly engineering changes discovered after the design has been sent to manufacturing.

Dynamic Simulation With Autodesk® Inventor™ Simulation Suite, designers can use Dynamic Simulation to predict how a product will work under real-world conditions, without having to build costly, time-consuming physical prototypes or waiting for results from expensive consultants.

Stress Analysis The stress analysis functionality in Inventor Simulation Suite helps users understand how parts perform under load, so they know their designs have sufficient strength to perform without failure.

AutoCAD Integration Inventor makes it easy for users of AutoCAD® software to realize the benefits of Digital Prototyping by leveraging investments in AutoCAD expertise and DWG™ design data.

Part Design Inventor software helps designers reach the next level of efficiency by making it easier to reuse design data, convey design intent, and work with fully associative models to make sure any changes to the part design are reflected in the assembly model and drawing files.

Assembly Design Inventor combines Design Accelerators with easy-to-use assembly tools so users can be sure that every part and component in an assembly design fits correctly.

Design and Manufacturing Documentation Autodesk Inventor includes comprehensive tools to generate engineering and manufacturing documentation from the digital prototype. These tools can help users reduce errors and deliver designs in less time.

Data Management and Communication Inventor enables the efficient and secure exchange of design data to support collaboration between different engineering contributors, including industrial design, product design, and manufacturing.

Customization and Automation Inventor helps users make the most of their investment in 3d by using the Inventor API (application programming interface) to streamline frequently used procedures and automate specialized workflows that support design standards and engineering processes.

Ready to Run Autodesk Inventor Simulation Suite 2010 will run on Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, and Vista.
