Inventor

Autodesk Inventor is a specialized advanced CAD system required for design in industrial level projects.

Project Workflow

The program creates a 3D model in several stages, separated from each other. The only way to create an object is their gradual execution, and only with the correct sequence of actions, the final result will be really high quality and ready to be realized. At the very beginning it is necessary to create a design layout, aka the general concept, which is covered in the program with panels, and then, with the help of selecting the necessary material, the program will give it the most realistic look. With the help of working with textures, the project moves to a whole new level. After adding them, you can start documentation work, i.e. drawings, CNC programs, schematics and the like.

About the functionality

Autodesk Inventor 2018 works even with those files that were created on earlier versions of similar software, and also supports multi-user mode of work on the project. The program works with many file formats, such as NEU, SMT, STEP, STEP, RVT, RVT, DXF, PRT, SAT and many others. By the way, all documentation can not only be moderated and changed during project management, it can be easily printed on a printer.

Requirements

The program does not work on all computers. Thus, Windows must be no younger than version 7, and the requirements for the hardware on which you will have to work are quite serious. You need 16 gigabytes of RAM, as well as 40 gigabytes of disk space. These are the minimum requirements, which are half of the recommended.

Key features

• Ability to design in 3D format;
• Work with drawings and all design documentation in one program;
• The mode of group work on the project;
• Ability not only to create supporting documentation of the ESCD, but also to print it;
• Model configurators are set up automatically;
• Wide functionality for creating a wide variety of systems, such as electrical wiring and piping;
• Shoot layout capability;
• Performs complex parametric calculations.
