With AutoCAD® Inventor® Professional software, designers can use Dynamic Simulation to predict how
a product will work under real-world conditions, without having to build costly,
time-consuming physical prototypes or waiting for results from expensive consultants.
Simply add the driving loads, friction characteristics, and dynamic components.
Then, run the simulation to validate the design. Smooth integration with stress
analysis validates component design with actual load information, rather than
estimates.
The stress analysis functionality in AutoCAD Inventor Professional Suite 2011
helps users understand how parts perform under load, so they know their designs
have sufficient strength to perform without failure. The stress analysis tools
are fully integrated with the dynamic simulation tools, enabling users to perform
stress analysis with accurate load conditions that are calculated directly
from the dynamic behavior of the design.
