AUGI Instructor |
| Company: |

| Description: |
Derived parts are a powerful but easy-to-use Inventor
tool. They come in two basic flavors: you can derive
one part from another one, or you can derive a part
from an assembly. Using derived parts, you can easily
create machining models and drawings from an as-cast
model, and you can create a mold from the same model.
The mold cavity can be scaled to allow for shrinkage.
Opposite-hand versions can also be created from the
basic part, and from any subsequent derived parts.
If the basic part is changed then everything updates.
What better way to leverage your parts! |

| Title: |
AUGI Instructor |
| Company: |
AUGI Program Team |
| Description: |
Run out of nuts and bolts? Welding your components
together may be the answer. Weldments are used to
design and document an assembly that does not contain
traditional fasteners. Emulating the real welding
process, you can add preparatory pre-weld operations,
and post-weld machining operations for finishing
and clean-up. Creating a weldment also enables you
to analyze assemblies as a single unit. You can even
use calculations to determine added mass, welding
time and material costs. Documenting weldment assemblies
requires tools and capabilities that may not be required
by a typical drawing. This session will teach you
how to do this, plus many other useful skills necessary
for a firm foundation in weldment. |

| Description: |
Inventor includes a huge library of stock components
such as gears, bearings and threaded fasteners. But
most companies have a series of component parts that
are unique to their product line, but are used in
various sizes and configurations depending on the
particular model or variant being built. This presentation
will show you how easy it is to set up an iPart factory.
Now your designers will be able to quickly and easily
pick a type of component from your library, and then
specify details such as size and capacity. The iPart
factory can then generate the specific part. iParts
can include iMates, so the iPart components "automatically" attach
themselves properly as they are inserted into an
assembly. Save time by letting the parts essentially
create themselves! |
