Inventor R2011 Introduction to Solid Modeling - Part 1 Part Modelling course instructs users in best usage approaches for parametric design philosophy through a hands-on, practice-intensive curriculum Users acquire the knowledge needed to complete the process of designing models from conceptual sketching, through to part solid modeling. Part 2 of this course covers assembly design, presentation views, and drawing production.
The major topics covered are:
- The Inventor interface
- Creating 2D sketches
- Constraining and dimensioning sketches
- Generating 3D parts from sketches
- Part modeling, adding and editing 3D features
- Resolving feature failures
- Model Information

Working with projects
Not all aspects of Inventor can be addressed within the time limits
Not all aspects of Inventor can be addressed within the time limits of this Essentials class. Advanced techniques and features such as iParts and iMates are covered in Inventor Advanced Part Modelling and Advanced Assembly Modelling courses.
Like its predecessor from Autodesk, Mechanical Desktop, Inventor is a parametric, feature-based solid modeling program. Unlike MDT, however, it is not based on AutoCAD. Students coming to Inventor from the AutoCAD/MDT environment will find that this means changing some long-standing habits, like working at the Command Line. On the other hand, they should discover that many of the new tools in Inventor are intuitive. Students familiar with MDT will also find extensive similarities with the concepts and techniques in Inventor. |
