Techniques for Modeling Motion in Inventor

Share this class

Description

This popular class returns with an updated look at the essential skills needed to model motion in Inventor software. The class will run through Inventor software's assembly tools to simulate constrained motion between parts and assemblies. First, we'll look at constraints and joints and how each can be used to control motion. From there, we'll look at some of the more advanced types of constraints, including motion and transitional constraints that are often used to model threaded parts, gears, slotted components, or cam followers. Finally, we'll put it all together and use the contact solver and drive tool to visualize a system's moving components. Take this class for a starting look at Inventor software's fundamental tools for modeling dynamic moving assemblies.

Key Learnings

  • Understand the difference between constraints and joints and learn when to use each one
  • Learn how to set constraint and joint limits and understand when they are necessary
  • Learn how to model using advanced motion and transitional constraints
  • Learn how to apply drive constraints and use the contact solver
