Find out how to apply Autodesk simulation capabilities to your design work.

Inventor is the perfect solution for your design, validation, and optimization needs. You can use integrated simulation capabilities in Inventor to consistently deliver dynamic and innovative products that work the way you want them to, while avoiding problems that creep up after fabrication or wasting time and money with physical prototypes. You can validate the fit, form, and function of your design under real-world conditions — before anything is ever built.

Autodesk simulation capabilities allow you to:

• Analyze the motion forces of your mechanisms
• Make better materials choices
• Balance structural performance and weight
• Understand temperature distribution and flow patterns
• Identify potential points of product failure
• Optimize the manufacturability of your product design

Simulation with Autodesk

True mechatronics design is a reality with the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping.

Inventor Takes You Beyond 3D with Mechatronics Product Design.

The Inventor-based Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping offers the best bi-directional interoperability between 2D and 3D mechanical and electrical design applications. Autodesk tools enable you to:

• Accelerate the design of electrical controls systems with AutoCAD® Electrical software.
• Use Autodesk® Inventor® software to simulate and analyze motion and stress, so you can predict how mechatronic product designs will work under real-world conditions.
• Securely store and manage engineering data and documents for the complete mechatronic product design.

Destroy plastic product development barriers with Autodesk® Inventor®.

From revolutionary conceptual design functionality, to the best integrated simulation tools, to industry-leading tools for mold design, Autodesk® Inventor® can transform your plastic product design. With:

• Radically comprehensive design tools - Work directly with exterior surface data and import surfaces created by industrial designers.
• Integrated simulation tools - Save time and money by validating plastic product and mold designs before manufacturing — with Autodesk® Moldflow® injection molding simulation tools directly in your design environment.
• Complex tool creation made simple - Rapidly design your complete injection mold with automated engineering tools and mold base library. Patch openings, generate runoff/shutoff surfaces, and produce documentation — automatically.
