Description The Autodesk(R) Inventor(R) 2019: Surface and Freeform Modeling learning guide teaches you how to incorporate surfacing and Freeform Modeling techniques into your design environment.
Prereq.
Use the Surface analysis tools to evaluate continuity between surfaces, check draft values, analyze curvature on a surface, and review sectioned areas of the model.
Edit Freeform base geometry by manipulating existing geometry or adding new elements to the base shape.
Create Freeform geometry base shapes, faces, and converted geometry.
Copy surfaces from one model into another.
Remove existing surfaces or solid faces from a model.
Create a new solid face by replacing an existing solid face with Surface geometry.
Manipulate the extent of a Surface by extending or stretching it.
Remove portions of a Surface using a reference Surface or work plane.
Create solid geometry using Surface geometry.
Add or remove material in a model by referencing a surface.
Combine individual Surface features into a single quilted surface.
Create planar and three-dimensional surfaces.
Topics Covered Create spline and 3D sketched entities.
The topics covered in this learning guide are also covered in ASCENT\'s Autodesk(R) Inventor(R) 2019: Advanced Part Modeling learning guide, which includes a broader range of advanced learning topics.
To complete the learning guide, you will learn how to use the Autodesk Inventor Surface analysis tools to evaluate the continuity between surfaces and the curvature on a surface, determine if the applied draft is within a specified range, and conduct section analysis to evaluate wall thickness values.
Freeform Modeling is also covered, which enables you to create complex shapes without needing the constraints required in a parametric workflow.
Chapters on Surface creation focus on using these sketches or existing geometry to create surfaces for use in your solid models.
You begin with instruction on how to create the splines and 3D sketches commonly used in Surface creation.
