This book is designed for high school and college age students wanting to learn the fundamentals of computer aided design with AutoCAD and Inventor and how the two can be used together. How to perform basic finite element stress analysis using Inventor Stress Analysis Module.How to combine parts into assemblies including assembly modeling with a LEGO ® MINDSTORMS ® Education Base Set with TETRIX ® kit and a VEX Robot Kit.How to reuse design information between AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor.How to create 3D parametric models and 2D multiview drawings using Autodesk Inventor.How to freehand sketch using axonometric, oblique and perspective projection techniques.How to create and dimension 2D multiview drawings using AutoCAD.This book explores the strengths of each package and shows how they can be used in design, both separately and in combination with each other.
Through this, we can show our great ideas to the world, share the design process, and can be connected with our peers.Tools for Design is intended to provide the user with an overview of computer aided design using two popular CAD software packages from Autodesk: AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor.
The Autodesk also allows us to create the Portfolios on Autodesk Design Academy. We can also become a student expert to connect with peers and industry professionals. It is a medium to achieve academic and future career success. The Autodesk provides us the tools to explore our curiosity, sills, and showcase our creativity. Autodesk also partners with brands and organizations through global competitions to sharpen our skills. We can create project-based models to learn design thinking, innovation, and creativity. AutoCAD software is used by millions of students, teachers, and institutions every day. The software is available free of cost with all the available tools. The student's version is used to support success in education and beyond it. In how many ways a student can use AutoCAD? It means that the objects or files created in the student's version have an internal big flag set, i.e., the output contains a stamp printed on all the four sides. The student version is similar to the full commercial version, except the educational flag. To develop such objects commercially, we need to use the full commercial version. The objects or projects created in this version cannot be used for commercial purposes.
The student's version license is renewable after the 3-year or 36 months term. Overall productivity gain calculation based on adding the completion times of specific tasks in the toolset and also in basic AutoCAD and then calculating the percent difference between. The student's version is a free version created by Autodesk for students, educational institutions, and educators. The seven toolset studies compared basic AutoCAD to the specialized toolsets within AutoCAD when performing tasks commonly done by experienced AutoCAD users. The Student version is also called as the Free 3-year Education License.
