Inventor Advanced Course Overview

Course Description

This course will introduce you the fundamental principles of sheet metal design. You will learn how to create and manage sheet metal designs; understand basic sheet metal concepts, and builds on them to include complex modeling practices for forming sheet metal parts, assemblies, and drawings.

Course Duration

2 Days.

Objective

The primary objective of this courseware is to provide students with a thorough understanding of the sheet metal design, validation, and documentation processes necessary for developing products using Autodesk Inventor Sheet Metal.

What Will You Learn?

  • Describe the terms and concepts of sheet metal design, create a sheet metal part and manage sheet metal styles.
  • Explain the characteristics of a face, flange, contour flange, and hem sheet metal feature and create them.
  • Create sheet metal designs by employing skeletal modeling, using legacy flat pattern and 3D models.
  • Create and edit sheet metal drawings and document them using annotation tools designed specifically for sheet metal drawings.

Who Should Attend?

Users of Autodesk Inventor Essentials.
