Autodesk Inventor is a versatile software for Windows that allows users to design 3D models of various objects and structures with precise details. There is a wide range of tools and modules for developing complex projects.
Design and visualization
The software is known for creating and visualizing professional models of buildings, vehicles, space rockets, equipment and other products. Computer-aided design feature allows users to project their ideas from scratch, add necessary details and store projects in a secure environment.
There is an option to create each component of the object separately with a precise specification. Users can apply various forms like extrusions, revolvers, sweeps and lofts. In other words, the program is a great tool for creating complex mechanisms and equipment.
Although Autodesk Inventor is quite similar to CATIA in terms of its functionality, being the product from the same developer, it is much easier to use. However, you still need to have a certain set of skills in order to apply tools even for designing basic models.
Documentation and simulation
It is possible to create 2D drawings and documentation of projects. Users can provide these images with descriptions, annotations and bill of materials. It is also easy to share the files via messengers.
And last but not least, there is an option to simulate the performance of current and finished products. You can see how each detail of your project is working and solve the issues ahead if there is one.
