Ladder design – rungs


Conveyor design – supports


Example customer use cases


Model the design intent

Build geometric representation that will determine the shape for each assembly


Build an adaptive assembly model

Build an assembly that can change shape based on changing geometry inputs in each situation


Pattern the adaptive assembly

Use geometric representation to copy and adapt the assembly

Key Enhancements• Unique Instance Support• Core/Cavity Creation Robustness• Performance & Capacity Optimizations• Dynamic Simulation of Mold• Expanded Mold Base & Component Library content

Imperial/Inch Meusburger

• Moldflow enhancements Results Display Overlay

• Support for DWG output• File naming• Documentation Enhancements

InjectionMold Design


Unique Instance Support

• Unique core/cavity, insert, and core pin instances in pattern allowing for instance-specific detailing.

• Allows unique instances to be created with mold aspects – gates, runners, cooling channel


Core/Cavity Creation Robustness

• Mold-specific functionality has been introduced to improve the robustness of core/cavity creation with context sensitive error checking and reporting.

• Users will be able to automatically generate the core/cavity for a broader range parts, whether native Inventor or imported and when it fails have bad geometry identified.


Performance & Capacity Optimizations

• Identify and address areas to improve key workflows.

• Improvements: Mold Assembly Open performance – 69% Mold Assembly Open capacity – 53% Browser Switch performance – 85% Gate Location Edit performance – 52%


Dynamic Simulation of Mold

• Automatically incorporate kinematic constraints and pre-defined positional representations for mold base assembly.

• Range of motion can now be simulated for a mold base assembly allowing the user to examine the mold base components for clearance and interference.


Expanded Mold Base & Component Library

• Imperial/Inch content and Meusburger catalog coverage has been expanded; content can be filtered by sub-category.

• Customers working in Imperial/Inch units and/or from the Meusburger catalog now have more content to reference during design; sub-category filtering facilitates easier selection.


Moldflow Enhancements

• Display air traps and weldlines overlaid on results.

• Allows the user to view air trap and weldline indicators with other results to gain a better understanding of their cause.

Demo


Support for DWG Output

• Allow drawings to be generated in DWG format as well as IDW format.

• Users can now directly specify drawings to be generated in DWG format so that they can interoperate with AutoCAD and other applications which use DWG format.


File Naming

• Provides a way, which is consistent with Inventor, that allows users to specify filename/location for all parts created

• Users can now apply their own naming to mold parts generated during design rather than relying upon default names.


Documentation Enhancements

• AIT Tooltips• AIT Help integrated with AIP Help• 5 existing tutorials added to their own Tooling tab• 2 New AIT tutorials

Resolving Design Issues Kinematics

• 1 new AIT Skill Builder

Parametric and direct modelingwill both remain relevant


Why both?


Because customers shouldn’t have to choose.


When Customers Need Parametric Modeling• Knowledge capture allows

reuse over life cycle

• Iterative optimization of design

• Product family configurations


When Customers Need Direct Modeling

• Modification of non-native data

• “What if” scenarios and unique design changes

• Rapid expression of design ideas


Autodesk delivers direct ANDparametric modeling with Inventor Fusion technology


Inventor Fusion Technology

Standalone technology preview delivers:

Unrivaled ease of use

Rapid design changes without limitations

Modify Non Native Data

Seamless direct and parametric workflows with a single digital model*

*Note: must have Inventor 2010 subscription to utilize


Seamless direct and parametric workflows

The freedom of direct modeling with the ability to exercise control over change

Automatic creation, deletion or modification of features necessary to accommodate changes

Changes update the parametric model's feature history, ensuring critical design intent is maintained
