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.
With AutoCAD Inventor™ Simulation Suite, designers can use Dynamic Simulation to calculate how a product will perform under real-world conditions, without having to fabricate costly, time-consuming physical prototypes or waiting for results from high-priced consultants.
Stress Analysis.
The stress analysis functionality in Inventor Simulation Suite helps users comprehend how parts act under weight, so they know their designs have adequate strength to operate without malfunction.
Output to Finite Element Analysis
Transfer reaction forces from discrete time steps to Autodesk Inventor Stress Analysis or ANSYS® Workbench to predict stress and deflection with accurate peak loads. Size components, such as pins and linkages, to minimize weight and material costs.
Load Definitions
Apply different driving loads and torques as well as time-based force functions using the load profile editor. Use this tool to investigate the design’s performance under a range of different load conditions.
Graphing
Use the comprehensive graphing capability to quickly investigate how the dynamic characteristics of the design vary through the machine’s operating cycle. Plot physical parameters—such as position, force, and acceleration—versus time. Compare different properties at each point in the simulation cycle using multiple plots on the same graph.
Integrated With Dynamic Simulation
Analyze the stress in a moving part at different points in the mechanism’s operating cycle. Import loads from multiple steps in a dynamic simulation, and then calculate and view the resulting stresses in a single analysis run.
Share Validation Results
Quickly and easily add analysis results to reports by exporting to an AVI or graphics file.

Frame Generator
Quickly design and develop welded frames for industrial machinery applications. The Frame Generator builds up structural frames by dropping predefined steel shapes onto wireframe or solid skeletal frames and simplifies creation of end conditions with predefined options for mitered, notched, and straight butt welded joints. It includes profile authoring so users can add custom profiles
Construction Environment
Reduce the time required to inspect and repair customer data files. The Inventor Construction Environment provides fault-tolerant import of large STEP and IGES data sets, with a quarantine to hold entities containing geometric problems such as surface slivers and mismatched boundary curves. The construction environment also includes a comprehensive toolkit for inspecting, editing, and correcting quarantined entities, including solids, surfaces, wireframes, and points. Data sets can be corrected and promoted into 3d part models, surfaces, or 3d wire frames.
