Autodesk Inventor and its application in information integration (2)

3.2.Inventor can help users visually check the interference of the organization

In mechanical design, the mechanism interferes more and is designed with two-dimensional software. It is not convenient to check the interference. Inventor, as a three-dimensional software, can overcome this problem well and can easily describe the geometry and irregular geometry from space. So that users can use it conveniently and at ease.

3.3. Inventor is adaptive, making the design smarter

One of the features of Inventor that distinguishes it from other 3D modeling software is the ability to maintain model adaptability and create adaptive parts. A physical relationship is maintained between these smart parts, and if the geometry of the base part is modified, the adaptive geometry is updated accordingly. For example, create a hole that fits the size of the shaft. When changing the size of the shaft, the hole will automatically become larger or smaller to accommodate the new diameter of the shaft.

3.4. Inventor can export more beautiful drawings

The drawings exported by Inventor are more detailed than the drawings exported by the 2D software, which improves the quality of the drawings.

4. Seamless integration of Autodesk Inventor and Productstream

4.1. Automatically obtain product design information

Productstream can automatically extract relevant design information of products in inventor through interface program, such as product model, product type, part name, material and so on.

4.2. Get component graphic information

When the designer completes a phase of the task and makes a check-in operation, Productstream will store the design data in the database and automatically generate the corresponding DWF file. When managers and other application users browse design data, they actually browse DWF data, whether it is 2D or 3D data. In this way, the user can easily view the graphic information designed by Inventor through Productstream, and edit and modify the graphic within the scope of the allowed permissions.

4.3. Product structure information extraction

Using the API functions of Productstream and Inventor, develop a PDM-based client program in the Inventor system (ie integrate a Productstream function menu item in the Inventor system).

Through this client program, PDM operations can be directly performed in the Inventor system, and data exchange and message exchange can be performed between the two systems. For example, Inventor's assembly structure can be automatically extracted into the PDM database. When a complete assembly is stored in the Productstream, the assembly file of the assembly and the associated parts, subassemblies, and assembly relationships are all stored in the Productstream. At the same time, Productstream will automatically read the properties of each part and subassembly to form a product structure tree.

5. Outlook

Based on the above advantages of Inventor, Inventor is one of the mainstream 3D design platforms in the mechanical and other fields like AutoCAD. At the same time, due to the good integration of Inventor and Productstream, with the promotion of Inventor, there will be more and more users using Autodesk's Productstream software, which will be more and more in the process of manufacturing informationization. Accepted by the user. With the increasing popularity of Autodesk's product line (Inventor, Productstream, etc.) and its continuous improvement, its applications will become more widespread.
