Manufacturing Services
On a mission to empower clients, transform industries and champion innovation, Applied Software™ leverages a team of seasoned industry experts to take a holistic and strategic approach to design software, integration, problem resolution, mentoring and more. Below are some packaged service offerings to help get you started quickly and efficiently.
Adoption Implementation and Diagnostics
Applied Software's team of experts is prepared to train you on the manufacturing software essentials as well as get your environment set up to help you succeed!
The Inventor Advanced Training Course introduces the student to various approaches to part and assembly design.
Advanced part modeling techniques covered include advanced sweeps, advanced lofts, multi-body design, surface modeling, coils, generative shape design, and freeform modeling. In addition, iFeatures, and iParts, and AnyCAD functionality will be covered, all which help users increase efficiency in Inventor. In the documentation space, we’ll cover tools for sketching symbols, creating borders and title blocks, and documenting iParts.
The Advanced Assembly modules build on the Advanced Part modeling modules and upon the learner’s fundamental skills, increasing their productivity when creating and working with assemblies. First, Top-Down Design workflows will be discussed. These workflows include the following tools: Derive, Multi-Body Design, and Layouts. We’ll also discuss Frame Generator, Design Accelerator, followed by LOD’s, Positional Representations, and iMates and iAssemblies. Finally, file management, duplication techniques, and rendering and animation techniques are discussed.
This training service is delivered in 4 full day sessions, on-site at your facility. Day 1 and day 2 will focus on the Advanced Part Modeling, while the next two days will focus the Advanced Assembly modeling.
The Engineering Design Automation Study focuses on where Autodesk Inventor’s iLogic functionality can provide an additional layer of intelligence to your designs.
Inventor’s iLogic provides an easy-to-use interface than enables you to automate designs by creating and manipulating rules that drive your model’s geometry. This gives you the ability to automate your workflow to meet various design scenarios in part, assembly, and drawing files.
The Design Study is used to determine where iLogic can be utilized to standardize and automate your design processes and configure your virtual products. This service is a 1 day remote session (via GoToMeeting) with our experts to review your workflow and suggest iLogic use cases. Once completed, a report will be provided that summarizes the findings and also recommendations on the best path forward.
The Fusion 360 Feasibility Study is used to discover how Autodesk Fusion 360 can be incorporated into your day to day workflow and manufacturing processes.
Fusion 360 is a cloud-based 3D CAD, CAM, and CAE platform for product development. It combines industrial and mechanical design, simulation, collaboration, and machining in a single package. The tools in Fusion 360 enable fast and easy exploration of design ideas with an integrated concept-to-production toolset.
The Fusion 360 Feasibility Study is a 1 day remote session (via GoToMeeting) with our experts to determine where Fusion 360 can be utilized in your current environment by reviewing your design and engineering workflow. Once completed, a report will be provided that summarizes the findings and also recommendations on the best path forward.
The workstation and network environment can play a large role in the productivity of a design group. While we endeavor to train the user in efficient use of the software, hardware may be a bottleneck.
The purpose of this service is to evaluate the workstation, and Inventor environment for best practices. By installing small lightweight software to test the workstation, we will compile a report on the team’s readiness for design and engineering in Inventor.
