Autodesk Inventor Simulation Suite 2009
The stress analysis functionality in Inventor Simulation Suite helps users understand how parts perform under load, so they know their designs have sufficient strength to perform without failure. Autodesk Inventor Simulation Suite provides complete dynamic simulation and includes the following features. Simulation Simulate the operation of mechanisms and motorized assemblies to make sure your designs will work, while reducing physical prototyping costs. Compute the dynamic operating conditions of the design throughout its full operating cycle, and accurately size motors and actuators to sustain actual operating loads. Analyze positions, velocities, accelerations, and loads encountered by a selected component in the mechanism. Output to FEA Transfer reaction forces from discrete time steps to Autodesk Inventor Stress Analysis or ANSYS® Workbench to predict stress and deflection with accurate peak loads. Size components, such as pins and linkages, to minimize weight and material costs. Load Definition Apply different driving loads and torques as well as time-based force functions using the load profile editor. Use this tool to investigate the design’s performance under a range of different load conditions. Visualization Animated 3D visualization shows dynamic motion based on underlying physics models and the applied load conditions. As a result, users gain a better understanding of the behavior and performance of the design. Point Trace Determine accurate component position to ensure sufficient clearance between mechanisms and fixed structures. Select any point in the model and use the Trace option to display the selected point’s location at each step in the simulation. Save simulation output, including path trace and assembly position, for use in part and assembly design. Graphing (Dynamic Simulation) Use the comprehensive graphing capability to quickly investigate how the dynamic characteristics of the design vary through the machine’s operating cycle. Plot physical parameters—such as position, force, and acceleration—versus time. Compare different properties at each point in the simulation cycle using multiple plots on the same graph. Constraint Translation Quickly and easily set up dynamic simulations to represent the operating conditions of the design. The constraint reduction engine analyzes assembly constraints to identify the relevant rigid bodies and generate the correct motion joints for simulation. You can also apply standard geometric constraints using the included library of motion joints. Then add springs and dampers to define the coefficient of friction that applies to each joint. Microsoft Excel Output Export XY plot data to Microsoft® Excel® worksheets, to analyze simulations and incorporate results in presentations and reports.
