autodesk® inventor
Autodesk® Inventor™ software is the foundation for Digital Prototyping, producing an accurate 3D model that validates the form, fit, and function of a design before it is built. The Autodesk Inventor product line provides an integrated set of tools for 3D mechanical design and documentation, creating routed systems, and digitally validating design data to minimize the need for physical prototypes. Inventor lets users reuse valuable DWG data to build accurate 3D part models, reducing the risk of inaccurate data translations. Product bundles include AutoCAD Mechanical for associative 2D and 3D collaboration, and data management software to manage and track all the design components of digital prototype.
The Autodesk Inventor product family is redefining traditional CAD workflows by helping engineers focus on the functional requirements of a design to drive the creation of complex 3d geometry. Reducing the time spent on geometry allows engineers to spend more time innovating designs. By rapidly building digital prototypes that validate a design’s function, engineers can catch errors before they reach production. With creative approaches to accelerate and simplify the concept-to-manufacturing process, Inventor has outsold all competitors for the seventh consecutive year.
autodesk® inventor professional 2009 - NEW!
With Inventor Professional, 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. Simply add the driving loads, friction characteristics, and dynamic components. Then, run the simulation to validate the design. Smooth integration with stress analysis validates component design with actual load information, rather than estimates.
Autodesk® Inventor™ Professional software provides the tools to create complete products, including complex routed system designs, while automatically creating accurate bills of materials (BOMs) and complete manufacturing documentation. Validate designs before they are built. With Autodesk Inventor Professional, engineers can simulate the dynamic behavior of a design throughout its full operating cycle and accurately predict operating loads and accelerations. In addition, the integrated Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tool helps engineers analyze designs and avoid stress-related field failures. With different product configurations that offer specific levels of functionality, Inventor is the best choice for AutoCAD users in manufacturing.

autodesk® inventor suite 2009 - NEW!
Autodesk® Inventor™ Suite 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. Because of the integration of applications into a single package, Autodesk Inventor Suite delivers a risk-free path when you choose to move from 2D to 3D. Move to 3D at your own pace, protecting your existing investments in 2D drawings and knowledge, and know that you’re working with the most DWG compatible platform on the market.
Inventor delivers the industry’s leading integration of 2d and 3d design, providing direct read and write of native DWG files, while maintaining full associativity to the 3d model—without the need for data-compromising translators. With Inventor, reuse valuable data with rapid access to existing 2d information. And, because users can save drawings as DWG files, they can easily share insights gained from the digital prototype with partners and suppliers who rely on AutoCAD software. Views generated from 3d part and assembly designs, such as schematics and plant layouts, can also be combined with AutoCAD data. Users can then update 2d drawings by inserting a view of new 3d designs—reducing the cost of upgrading existing equipment.
