Learn how to unlock your hidden ideas that burn inside. In this class, you will learn how Autodesk® SketchBook® Pro and Autodesk® Alias® Automotive can facilitate fast creative techniques, helping you create the punchy sketch and 3D visual to inspire, captivate, and stimulate your audience. Starting with 2D, the class will demonstrate the interface simplicity and natural workflow that is evident in SketchBook Pro. It will highlight the quality of the line weight and natural feel of the tools. Continuing to 3D, the class will touch on the translation of a sketch into Alias StudioTools and the use of quick visualization tools in Alias to output an image for retouching in SketchBook Pro. This case study will take attendees through the initial ideation phase of a design from rough sketch to a tighter presentable rendition. The workflow between SketchBook Pro and Alias will be highlighted. All data will be available for download.

Learn how to go from Autodesk Inventor software to Autodesk Alias software and back again to create real-world designs. You own Autodesk® Product Design Suite Ultimate—now is the time to start using this amazing technology that is at your fingertips.

To obtain better simulation results, a systematic and powerful mesh is key. While some finite element analysis (FEA) software products have advanced meshing tools to help obtain a superior analytical model, applying these tools can be complicated. Using the guidelines and tricks taught in this session upfront, during your CAD modeling for simulation with Autodesk software, you can develop a better mesh more efficiently and obtain accurate and precise results. This class will explain first how to recognize mesh qualities, then how to use CAD modeling techniques to obtain a refined mesh more efficiently, saving time and money in your analysis efforts.

In this class, we start with an overview of how simulation can be used during the complete design process. Simulation enables our customers to stand out from their competition because they can be more innovative and get to market faster while ensuring product quality. We cover several tools, including Autodesk® Force Effect™ and Dynamic Simulation in Inventor® 3D CAD software. We look at sloshing by performing a CFD analysis with Autodesk® Simulation CFD software, and we use Autodesk® Simulation Mechanical software to analyze vibrations.

This class is the second in a two-part series continuing on the principles of Items and Bill of Materials (BOM). In this class we will go over the use of Items and BOM, configurations, customizations and workflows. Additionally, we will discuss areas to help ease the transition from being file-centric to item-centric.

Especially designed for the young Padawan learner—this is Vault software Behaviors and how to use them. The force is not required as a prerequisite to this class, but is highly recommended. The main focus of this class is primarily using Vault software Behaviors and does not cover administration (it takes a Jedi Master to learn those skills). This is the second of a series of 3 Vault software Behaviors classes focusing on using categories, lifecycles, revisions, and properties. After this class the next step of your journey to becoming a Jedi Master is to seek out the class, Behaviors 301 for Jedi Masters. Note: The use of light sabers is strictly prohibited during class.

Learn from 3 users about the trials and tribulations, the hardships, and the journeys it took for them to successfully implement Vault software. This class will examine the compelling stories of the successes, tragedies, and triumphs of the companies in their implementation. We will highlight 3 sizes of Vault software implementations—small, medium, and large. Once each story is told, the panel will be set up for questions and answers.

Do you know what Data Standard is and want to learn from the experts how to configure and customize it? Then subscribe for this class. We will cover how to quickly customize the user interface, create functions to influence the behavior, extend Vault software with additional menu items, and capitalize on Data Standard with Vault software Custom Objects.

Either you've been using AutoCAD® for many years to lay out your facilities and have lots of 2D data to represent your assets, or you are receiving 2D drawings from your suppliers that need to be 3D assets. Either way, you want to quickly reuse what you have already created to make your 3D assets. In this class, we will provide tips and tricks and show you the best techniques for creating 3D assets from 2D data.

Being able to connect your 3D design data inside Inventor software to other downstream workflows is a critical part of collaborating inside and outside your organization. This course will focus on connecting Inventor to Fusion 360 software with the new Send to Fusion 360 tool inside Inventor 2022. Some example workflows we will demonstrate will include sharing your Inventor data with an outside stakeholder for CAM toolpath creation inside of Fusion 360; maximizing generative design on a part created inside Inventor; running simulation tools inside Fusion 360 on Inventor components; and creating high-quality visualizations inside Fusion 360 of your Inventor parts and assemblies.

This class is designed to take you from zero to IoT (Internet of Things) in 60 minutes. Understand the layers of connectivity and components that make up a complete connected solution, including selecting the right devices; picking a protocol, edgeware, and communication carrier; and connecting the data with business logic in Fusion Connect—as well as data analytics and machine learning. We aim to provide you with the information you need to build a solution outline that avoids the potential pitfalls and rookie mistakes that come with creating your connected products. This session features Fusion Connect and SeeControl (now Fusion Connect).

Reverse engineering is an essential part of product development process. Whether you are a designer doing benchmark or retrofitting an older design, you need to work with incomplete data. Digesting the incomplete data and changing it into useful model geometry is a science and an art. Generally, most CAD tools have provided some capabilities to enable varying levels of reverse engineering. Inventor 2017 software particularly offers quite a few workflows to help the reverse engineering process. It enables the users to obtain high-fidelity results. Regardless of the formats of the source data (2D or 3D), these workflows provide interesting opportunities. This class will introduce various workflows and techniques with real-world examples. The attendees will get a better understanding of these workflows and learn how to tackle future reverse engineering tasks with ease. This session features Inventor Professional and Inventor Professional.

In this class, we will take you on a tour of Autodesk® Product Design Suite 2013. We will show you what you can do with this flexible set of tools that are specialized in 3D mechanical design, simulation, tooling, electrical design, visualization, documentation, and collaboration. Using the design suite tools, you can evaluate and optimize machines while exchanging information with others throughout the design workflow. You will learn what you can accomplish by combining the Digital Prototyping capabilities of Autodesk® Inventor® software with enhanced design, visualization, and cloud services tools to reduce development costs and get machine designs to your clients faster and with less rework.
