Title: Inventor I/Autodesk

Long Title: Course Description: Introduces basic Inventor applications of non-parametric modeling, three-dimensional parametric modeling and visualization & animation of 3D modeling. The student learns to construct, modify, and manage complex models in 3D space. Produces 2D drawing assemblies from 3D models.

STANDARD COMPETENCIES:

1. Utilize the ViewCube and Steering Wheel as they relate to the Cartesian coordinate system and 3D space.
2. Create sketch planes and work planes.
3. Develop rough two-dimensional sketches of the basic shape of the base feature of an object.
4. Use geometric and dimensional constraints to control the rough sketch size and shape.
5. Select the Extrude, Revolve, Loft, and Sweep commands to create the base feature of an object.
6. Use the Extrude, Revolve, Loft, Sweep, Hole, Fillet and Chamfer commands to add additional features to the base model.
7. Initiate User Parameters to drive dimensions, including linking the parameters to an Excel Spreadsheet.
8. Create Derived components including Driven dimensions.
9. Produce two-dimensional drawings of the models, including projected, section, and isometric views with dimensions.
10. Create assemblies using the Assembly Constraint tool.
11. Animate assemblies by driving the Assembly Constraints.
12. Generate a video of an animated assembly that can be played with Windows Media Player.
