Autodesk Inventor Simulation is an essential part of the Autodesk digital prototyping workflow. Digital prototyping lets engineers, designers and manufacturers virtually explore and test objects, components and products before they are made, visualizing and simulating real-world performance. Autodesk Inventor Simulation provides engineers with the dynamic tools to revolutionize their product design process, saving materials, time and cost, but these tools are complex to learn and use to their full potential.
Up and Running with Autodesk Inventor Simulation 2011 is dedicated to the requirements of Inventor users who need to quickly learn or refresh their skills, and apply the dynamic simulation, assembly analysis and optimization capabilities of Inventor Simulation 2011.
This book remains one of very few resources dedicated to the subject, making it the perfect alternative to expensive training and consultancy for professionals and students in any engineering design and manufacturing field. With clear guidance and all-important real-world tutorials that other resources lack, its step-by-step, heavily illustrated approach will help users of all skill levels become Simulation experts.
