Title: Step on the Design Accelerator in Autodesk® Inventor®
Instructor: Bill Fane
Course Description: The Autodesk Inventor Content Center contains a collection of stock components, such as bearings and bolts, to speed up the design process. The Design Accelerator makes the process even faster. You do not need your handbook to find the correct formula, calculate the required sizes, and then model the parts and assemble them. Just enter the performance specifications and the Design Accelerator does the rest. For example, you can design a V-belt drive by entering the input power and speed, the ratio, and the center-to-center distance. The Design Accelerator calculates the sheave and belt sizes, selects the stock sizes that come closest to meeting your specifications, and adjusts the center distance accordingly before inserting the models directly into your assembly. If you change anything, then everything updates.
