Experience Your Design Before it’s Built.
The Autodesk® Inventor® product line provides a comprehensive and flexible set of software for 3D mechanical design, simulation, tooling creation, and design communication that helps users cost effectively take advantage of a digital prototyping workflow to design and build better products in less time. Autodesk® Inventor® gives engineers the ability to integrate AutoCAD and 3D data into a single digital model that can be used to validate the form, fit, and function of a design before it is built. By enabling engineers to design, visualize, and simulate their products digitally, Inventor helps teams communicate more effectively, reduce errors and deliver more innovative product designs.
Autodesk® AutoCAD Inventor™ Routed Systems Suite allows users to decrease the time required to design tubing, piping, and flexible hose.
Functional Route Design
Simplify the design of pipe runs—or spools—to fit in complex assemblies or tight spaces. Automatically routed segments respect predefined routing styles to present users with alternative pipe routes that comply with routing rules such as minimum or maximum length criteria and bend radius. Alternatively, pipe runs can be defined manually by creating 3d sketch geometry or built up interactively using the route edit tools. Automatically routed segments can be combined with user-defined segments for maximum control.
Rigid Tube Routing
Quickly create rigid tubes with superior control over the shape, bend angles, and radii. Create rigid tubes with an arbitrary number of bends and variable custom bend angles and radii. The radius and rotation handles offer greater control over the shape of rigid tubes.
Tube and Pipe Documentation
Create manufacturing deliverables without redrawing— reducing errors and associated costs. Fully associative documentation for tube and pipe runs provides assembly drawings that update whenever a change is made to the 3d design. ISOGEN PCF file output creates isometric piping drawings in third-party ISOGEN software such as Alias ISOGEN, and tubing bend tables in ASCII format provide the information required by tube bending machines.
