Inventor Advanced Training

This course will introduce you to the fundamental principles of sheet metal design. You will learn how to create and manage sheet metal designs, understand basic sheet metal concepts, and build on them to include complex modeling practices for forming sheet metal parts, assemblies, and drawings.

Objective

The primary objective of this courseware is to provide students with a thorough understanding of the sheet metal design, validation, and documentation processes necessary for developing products using Autodesk Inventor Sheet Metal.

What will you learn?

• Describe the terms and concepts of sheet metal design, create a sheet metal part, and manage sheet metal styles.

• Explain the characteristics of a face, flange, contour flange, and hem sheet metal feature and create them.

• Create sheet metal designs by employing skeletal modeling, using legacy flat patterns and 3D models.

• Create and edit sheet metal drawings and document them using annotation tools designed specifically for sheet metal drawings.

Who should attend?

• Users of Autodesk Inventor Essentials.
