The Autodesk® Inventor® 2019: Advanced Assembly Modeling learning guide builds on the skills acquired in the Autodesk Inventor 2019: Introduction to Solid Modeling and Autodesk Inventor 2019: Advanced Part Modeling learning guides to take students to a higher level of productivity when creating and working with assemblies.

Begin by focusing on the Top-Down Design workflow. You learn how tools are used to achieve this workflow using Derive, Multi-Body Design, and Layouts. Other topics include model simplification tools, Positional and Level of Detail Representations, iMates and iAssemblies, Frame Generator, Design Accelerator, and file management and duplication techniques. A chapter has also been included about the Autodesk® Inventor® Studio to teach you how to render, produce, and animate realistic images.

AutoCAD Training Topics

• Applying motion to existing assembly constraints using Motion and Transitional Constraints.
• Introduction of the Top-Down Design technique for creating assemblies and its components.
• Tools for Top-Down Design, such as associative links, adaptive parts, multi-body and layout design, derived components, and skeleton models.
• Creating Positional Representations to review motion, evaluate the position of assembly components, or document an assembly in a drawing.
• Using Shrinkwrap and other model simplification tools to create a part model that represents an overall assembly.
• Creating Level of Detail Representations to reduce the clutter of large assemblies, reduce retrieval times, and substituting models.
• Using the Design Accelerator to easily insert standard and customizable components and features into your model.
• Creating rendered realistic images and animations of parts and assemblies using Autodesk Inventor Studio and the Video Producer.
