Autodesk AutoCAD Inventor Simulation Suite 2010 [32 & 64 Bit]

AutoCAD Inventor Simulation Suite 2010 includes all the core functionality of AutoCAD Inventor Suite 2010 plus motion simulation and stress analysis. This makes it easier to predict how the design will work under real-world conditions before the product is built.

Validate and predict how product designs will work under real-world conditions before they are built. Autodesk® Inventor Simulation includes all the core functionality of the Autodesk Inventor plus easy-to-use and tightly integrated motion simulation and stress analysis tools.

Top features:

Simulation

Streamline Mold Design - the Autodesk Inventor product line includes automated mold design tools that work directly from Inventor 3D models of plastic parts. Powered by Autodesk® Moldflow® plastic flow analysis tools, Inventor can help to optimize your design for moldability and minimize the number of mold iterations.

Improve Design Communication and Collaboration - reduce errors and associated engineering change orders before manufacturing by generating manufacturing documentation directly from your validated 3D digital prototype.

Integrated Motion Simulation - use motion simulation — not intuition — to enhance your design decisions. The motion simulation feature in Autodesk Inventor software uses the assembly constraints in your 3D model to identify relevant rigid bodies, generate correct motion joints, and compute dynamic behavior.

Integrated FEA - increase the accuracy and reliability of your design stress analysis. Use integrated FEA to predict stress and deflection with accurate peak loads by transferring reaction forces from simulation time steps to AIP stress analysis.

Adaptive Solver - Conduct finite element studies faster and apply the results sooner. Adaptive solver technology and localized tuning algorithms within Inventor give you accurate results more quickly.

Static Analysis - Make sure your designs are strong enough while avoiding over-designing. Examine the deformation of parts and assemblies under static loads to determine maximum and minimum stresses and deflections. At the same time, you can help assure designs meet the necessary safety standards.
