Autodesk Inventor training

Autodesk Inventor provides a comprehensive set of 3D mechanical CAD tools for producing complete digital prototypes. The Inventor model lets you visualise, simulate, and analyse how a design will work under real-world conditions before a product or part is ever built.

Our Inventor training courses provides essential skills for beginners and specialist skills for existing users.

Inventor training is Autodesk-authorised courses, run by an Autodesk Certified Trainer (ACT). Delegates receive Autodesk Official Training Guides, the most comprehensive Inventor training materials available.

We run the following course regularly:


		Autodesk Inventor Essentials (4 days)

We also offer the following courses on an on-demand basis, for just your group:


		Autodesk Inventor Sheet Metal Design (2 days)
		Autodesk Inventor Cable and Harness Design (2 days)
		Autodesk Inventor Simulation (2 days)
		Autodesk Inventor Tooling (2 days)
		Autodesk Inventor Tube and Pipe Design (2 days)

Autodesk Inventor Sheet Metal Design

Course objectives

To teach the fundamental principles of using Inventor to create and manage sheet metal designs. The course focuses on basic sheet metal concepts and techniques, and builds on them to include complex modeling practices for forming sheet metal parts, assemblies and drawing with hands-on exercises representing real-world, industry-specific design scenarios.

Duration

Two days.

Who should attend?

Experienced Autodesk Inventor users.

Pre-requisites

Delegates should have completed an Autodesk Inventor Essentials course or be familiar with the concepts taught in this course, and have a working knowledge of:

		The Autodesk Inventor user interface and working environments.
		Parametric solid modeling concepts, and design or mechanical engineering principles.

Autodesk Inventor Cable and Harness Design

Course objectives

To teach how to use Inventor to create 3D electrical parts and wire harness designs. Delegates learn how to add electrical components, cables, and wires to a design, route wires through an assembly to create a harness, and create ribbon cables.

Duration

Two days.

Who should attend?

Experienced Autodesk Inventor users.

Pre-requisites

Delegates should have completed an Autodesk Inventor Essentials course or be familiar with the concepts taught in this course.

An understanding of mechanical design validation or mechanical engineering principles is recommended but not essential.

		Validating digital prototypes by creating dynamic simulations of mechanisms using joints and environmental constraints.
		Eliminating redundancies in a design.
		Interpreting Dynamic Simulation results.
		Analysing parts and assemblies and performing parametric design studies.
		Practicing solving real-world design problems.

Duration

Two days.

Who should attend?

Experienced Autodesk Inventor users.

General information

Method of delivery

Autodesk Inventor training combines lecture, demonstration and hands-on practice. Class numbers are small (maximum 8 delegates), providing ample opportunity to discuss your specific requirements with the trainer.

Autodesk e-certificate

We are an Autodesk authorised Training Centre (ATC), and our Inventor training courses are accredited by Autodesk. Delegates receive an industry recognised e-certificate from Autodesk to confirm they have attended and successfully completed an accredited Inventor course.

After course support

Following Autodesk Inventor training, delegates are entitled to 30 days email support from their trainer to help with any post-training issues.

Autodesk Inventor certification

Autodesk offers a program of professional certification for which Armada is an authorised Autodesk Certification Centre (ACC). All delegates attending Autodesk Inventor training at Armada are eligible to take an exam in order to gain 'Autodesk-certified' status for Inventor. For further details and costs, see Autodesk certification.
