http://pdfcast.org/rss/tag/autodesk en-us A product usually consists of a number of component parts. Using computer as a tool to design and manufacture products, you construct computer models to represent each individual component of the product and put the computer models together to form a virtual assembly to explore and evaluate the integrity of the design. To illustrate how the component of an assembly are related to each other, you explode them apart. Although it is very common to use electronic data of computer models directly in downstream computerized manufacturing operations, you output engineering drawings from the computer models of the individual parts, assemblies, and exploded assemblies. Serving these design requirements, Autodesk Inventor has four basic functions: constructing 3D parametric solid parts, assemblies of solid parts, exploded presentations of assemblies, and engineering drawings.]]> http://pdfcast.org/pdf/autodesk-inventor-tutorial-chapter-1 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/autodesk-inventor-tutorial-chapter-1 Autodesk Inventor is a parametric feature-based solid modeling application. Parameters of all objects are modifiable. To construct a 3D solid model, you think about how to decompose it into feature, construct the features one by one, and combine them as you construct them. To construct the solid feature, you either make sketches or select a pre-constructed solid feature from the menu.]]> http://pdfcast.org/pdf/autodesk-inventor-tutorial-chapter-2 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/autodesk-inventor-tutorial-chapter-2 With the exception of very simple objects, such as ruler, most objects have more than one part put together to form a useful whole. The set of parts put together is called an assembly. When you design the parts for an assembly, the relative dimensions and positions of parts, and how they fit together, are crucial. You need to know whether there is any interference among the mating parts. if there is interference, you need to find out where it occurs; then you can eliminate it. Apart from fitting the parts together, you also need to validate relative motions and check clearances if there are moving parts in the assembly. Moreover, you should critically evaluate the parts and the assembly as a whole to ensure the assembly functions correctly in accordance with the design intent. To shorten the design lead time, you construct virtual assemblies in the computer to validate the integrity of the parts and the assembly.]]> http://pdfcast.org/pdf/autodesk-inventor-tutorial-chapter-3 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/autodesk-inventor-tutorial-chapter-3 Information and Learning

This booklet is intended to be an easy read and a friendly introduction to the world of Autodesk Inventor.Delivered in 10 easily digestible doses, it covers the basics in a way that I hope makes you feel comfortable taking your first steps into this robust and exciting 3D modeling package. You’ll even discover that if you aren’t ready for the world of three dimensions yet,Autodesk Inventor is an amazing 2D program as well.The parametric modeling capabilities in Autodesk Inventor kick the IQ of the program up so many notches you’ll find that it does much of the work for you! In fact, Autodesk Inventor is so smart and so easy to use that you’ll keep thinking there must be a catch (I certainly did!). There’s no catch—it’s just a remarkable program that’s built on tomorrow’s technology. And why shouldn’t it be? It’s written by the company you’ve trusted with your designs for over 20 years—Autodesk!

In this first tutorial, we will go through the process of starting up AutoCAD on the computer and then look at some of the basic drawing and editing commands. In the next tutorial, we will begin the process of drawing something very simple in order to learn how to attack a drawing task with this system. These tutorials are deliberately verbose, explaining concepts and ideas as you along. It is important, therefore, that you take the time to read and understand those explanations.

These tutorials are written for AutoCAD 2000 running under the Windows 95/98 operating environment. Some of the later tutorials make use of enhancement packages that are sold in conjunction with AutoCAD to address specific disciplinary CAD modeling tasks. ]]> http://pdfcast.org/pdf/drawing-with-autocad-2000-introduction Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/drawing-with-autocad-2000-introduction http://pdfcast.org/pdf/design-rules-for-drawing-masks-using-autocad Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/design-rules-for-drawing-masks-using-autocad http://pdfcast.org/pdf/autodesk-3dsmax-certification Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/autodesk-3dsmax-certification http://pdfcast.org/pdf/autodesk-building-systems-tricks-and-tips Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/autodesk-building-systems-tricks-and-tips http://pdfcast.org/pdf/undocumented-autodesk-architectural-desktop-tips-and-tricks Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/undocumented-autodesk-architectural-desktop-tips-and-tricks http://pdfcast.org/pdf/autodesk-2011-brochure Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/autodesk-2011-brochure http://pdfcast.org/pdf/carol-bartz-evaluation Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/carol-bartz-evaluation
