New (access to)Work Features • Clear display of all Work Feature creation methods • Selections filtered to assist creation of specified type
Part Deformation with ‘Move Face’ • Tweak model by manipulating existing geometry • Fillets re-blend automatically • Captured as a feature in the browser
Inventor Assemblies in a Snap • New “Assemble” command streamlines component assembly • Easily reposition fully constrained components • Manage constraint conflicts with Improved Assembly diagnostics
Industry Leading Visual Experience What we did! Replaced our legacy graphics system with the new Autodesk graphics platform Inventor 2010 Inventor 2011
Inventor 2011 – Visual Experience - Goals • Improved the out of box visual experience • Provides easy to use visual effects • Improves modeling experience
Industry Leading Visual Experience What changed! • Visual styles • Lighting styles • New • Ground Plane • Shadows • Reflections Simple & Grouped
Industry Leading Visual Experience • Visual styles Inventor 2011 Inventor 2010 Providing a simple extension to what you already use 10 preset choices 3 preset choices
Industry Leading Visual Experience • Lighting styles Inventor 2010 Inventor 2011 Providing a simple extension to what you already use
Industry Leading Visual Experience Shadows Reflections Ground Plane Image based lights An interesting combination of IBL with the Illustration Visual Style
Common Material Appearance Library • Shared across Autodesk products • Similar user experience across Autodesk products
iLogic integration • Incorporated ilogic Parameters into core inventor parameters table • Integrate help • Dock able rule browser • iLogic add-in installed as part of inventor (Not for Inventor LT)
Expanded Functionality • Rules functions for Drawings - approx 20 new functions • View positions and spacing • Sheet size control • Restore Balloons • Additional Event types to drive rules • Feature component suppression Change • Vault awareness (retrieving parts to the workspace) • iLogic copy design - on labs • If the rules are related to design parts filenames the rules get broken.
iLogic Rules fundamental • Rules strategy write out plain English first (or other language) • Rules limitation - limited to what inventor can do • Rules naming - use unique descriptive names • Rules length - as short as possible • Rule content - limit the scope • Rule quantity - more is better • Rule readability - meaningful names for variables, parameters, features and components • Rule Order - the order of the rules in the browser can effect the outcome • Rule structure - assembly rules drive assembly things, part rules drive part things • Rule language - VB.net+
iCopy Enhancements • iCopy enhancements - bring iCopy up to production standards. Involves changes to both iCopy and core Inventor • Support for line & plane inputs • Assembly feature browser node for iCopy objects • Support for feature patterning • File name control • Make Frame Generator, DACCs work well with iCopy (still under evaluation) • Enhance adaptivity • Architectural View Scale • Architectural Units - support fractional units in Inventor modeling • Architectural Drawing Sheet Sizes • "Static" Flag for Rotating/Scaling Blocks • API for Blocks
Customer goal • Create a pattern of assemblies as quickly and easily as possible. Each assembly may vary slightly from other assemblies in the pattern.
Model the design intent Build geometric representation that will determine the shape for each assembly
Build an adaptive assembly model Build an assembly that can change shape based on changing geometry inputs in each situation
Pattern the adaptive assembly Use geometric representation to copy and adapt the assembly
AEC Exchange - Search • Goal: Improve the user experience in navigating component types during AEC exchange • Solution: • Search capabilities
Architectural Unit Support • Support for inch fractional and architectural units in modeling environments • Four pieces to solution • Parameter Display Type • Input String Retention & Type Setting • Parameter Unit Override • Tolerances • Support leading zero
Fabrication Drawings • Import Blocks • Dynamic and Static Blocks • Style Library Updates • Architectural Scale • Replace Model Reference • Chain Dimension Type • Hatch Updates • Application Options for Fabrication
Windows 7 • Catia V4 Import • Performance Large Assembly • Performance Shrinkwrap • Support ACAD constraints during DWGIN • ….
Today: AIP + Algor + Moldflow = 4% of the market
Target: $100,000,000
