Autodesk Inventor and iLogic for Automated Productivity
Challenge:
• Responding to customer demands for bespoke products • Reduce the time taken to generate production drawings
Results:
• Reducing the time taken to generate engineering drawings from 1.5 hrs to 5 minutes. • Consolidating multiple models into a single intelligent model. • Reducing the time spent on standard relatively low value work and enabling the company to focus on high value bespoke products.

Traditionally machine line layouts in a factory are created with pen and paper or in the form of 2D drawings. Using these means, it is extremely difficult to explain the working intent of the machine lines toclients or internal stakeholders. Using 2D workflows, it is very challenging to account for movement of material, people, and material handling devices and show them interacting with each other inside the facility. The inability to clearly articulate the working intent often results in losing bids to competition and the inability to sell ideas to stakeholders.
Project Simulus is a free Technology Preview that showcases a number of innovative approaches to mechanical simulation. This Technology Preview offers powerful geometry modification capabilities through embedding Autodesk Fusion along with a very intuitive simplification environment to prepare various CAD models for different simulation studies. In addition, it provides you with easy and quick ways to set up and run many simulation studies, exploiting the power of Cloud computing that leaves your desktop free of much of the computational burdens.
In all previous versions of Inventor you needed to customise the installation to change the default Standards and Units for Inventor from ANSI and Inches to ISO and mm.
However in the new release (2013) this option is NOT included in the installation customisation, you set this upon starting the software. To change these settings in 2013, start the software for the first time and you will see the splash screen below, select Configure Default Template.
By default, in previous versions of Inventor, whenever you started a new Part file you would be taken straight into a new Sketch.
In Inventor 2013 this default behaviour has been changed to not automatically create a Sketch, instead you have the option of starting a new Sketch on your chosen Origin Workplane.
If you prefer to start a new Part and go straight into a Sketch, then you can turn this behaviour back on in Tools TAB on Ribbon > Application Options > Part TAB > change the Sketch on new part creation setting. The old default was Sketch on x-y plane!
Field text allows you to Insert a multiline text Field that can be updated automatically as the Field value changes. This could be the Creation Date, Author, Size of the file, File Name or Save Date for instance.
To place a Field on its own simply type Field at the command line, this will bring up the Field dialogue box, where you can choose the relevant settings you require.
