Title: Understanding Solid Models and the API in Autodesk® Inventor®
Instructor: Brian Ekins
Course Description: A critical component of any CAD system is the ability to accurately describe a model. This class investigates the internals of how Autodesk Inventor works with solids and surfaces (BRep). We will look at how solids are constructed and modified, and how you can access this information through the Autodesk Inventor application programming interface (API). This includes a detailed look at how to query and evaluate the shape of a model. We will also look at new functionality in Autodesk Inventor 2010 and 2011 that provides new modeling capabilities accessible only through the API.
