FOREWORD

The ability to use digital prototyping as a core design practice has rapidly become a critical

initiative for manufacturers of all sizes. To stay competitive in today’s global market, manu-

facturers have to move from a perspective of using 3D design methods for automating the

creation of 2D drawings to a perspective of using a 3D model as a complete digital prototype

for evaluating form, ﬁ t, and function. Critical to making this leap is an understanding of

the role and application of simulation in the digital prototyping process. Unfortunately, too

many designers and engineers are either unable or unwilling to integrate simulation in their

design process. The result is that they are falling behind the best-in-class standards of a rap-

idly changing manufacturing climate.

The book you are about to read offers a clear path for designers and engineers to begin to

perfect their skills using simulation inside Autodesk Inventor®. By using real-world exam-

ples to illustrate both the need and application of simulation, this book is not only a useful

learning tool, but a source of inspiration for applying simulation to bringing better products

to market faster. Every designer and engineer needs to understand how to use a digital proto-

type to simulate their product designs before they are real, and every designer and engineer

can beneﬁ t from reading this book.

The journey to becoming a best-in-class user of digital prototyping requires an understand-

ing of simulation and its application to design problems. This book is an important part of

that journey.

PREFACE

Welcome to the ﬁ rst edition of Up and Running with Autodesk ® Inventor ® Simulation 2010 – A

Step by Step Guide to Engineering Design Solutions.

In my years of training and working with Inventor’s users, I have seen many who were strug-

gling to make the most of Inventor’s tremendous and powerful Simulation technology, and

to integrate it in the design process. In my opinion, one signiﬁ cant reason for this struggle

is a lack of conﬁ dence in applying Inventor Simulation to the user’s own product and

development environment.

With this in mind, I have written this book using actual design problems, all of which have

greatly beneﬁ ted from the use of Simulation technology. For each design problem, I have

attempted to explain the process of applying Inventor Simulation using a straightforward,

step-by-step approach, and supported this approach with explanations and tips. At all times,

I have tried to anticipate what questions a designer or development engineer would want to

ask while he or she is performing the task and using Inventor Simulation.

The design problems have been carefully chosen to cover the core aspects and capabilities of

Dynamic Simulation and Stress Analysis, and their solutions are universal, so you should be

able to apply the knowledge quickly to your own design problems with conﬁ dence.

APPROACH OF THE BOOK

The book basically comprises of two sections: Dynamic Simulation (Chapters 1–8), and Stress

Analysis/Optimization (Chapters 9–15). Chapters 1 and 9 provide an overview of Dynamic

Simulation, Stress Analysis, and the Inventor Simulation interface and features to give you a

good grounding in core concepts and the software’s strengths, weaknesses, and workarounds.

Each design problem illustrates a different approach, and demonstrates key aspects of the

software, making it easier for you to pick and choose which design problem you want to

cover ﬁ rst; therefore, having read Chapter 1, it is not necessary to follow the rest of the book

sequentially.

The joints process, including redundant joints, within Dynamic Simulation is possibly the

most powerful but hard to master feature of the software, and in my experience, one of

the reasons of the areas that most users struggle with. Therefore, this book has a particular

emphasis on the joint creation process, and shows all the possible methods of creating joints

efﬁ ciently. Each of Chapters 2–8 starts by showing which joint is being used to make it easier

for you to concentrate on the joints required for your own design problems.

Stress Analysis within Inventor has been around for many years but its usage has been

limited until now by single part Stress Analysis capability. With the release of 2010, this

limitation has been overcome by the inclusion of Assembly Stress Analysis and the unique

powerful Parametric Optimization function, which is discussed in detail in Chapters 9–15.

This book is primarily designed for self-paced learning by individuals, but can also be used

in an instructor-led classroom environment.

All tutorial ﬁ les and datasets necessary to complete the b ook’s exercises, plus completed ﬁ les,

can be accessed from the book’s companion web site at http://www.elsevierdirect.com/
