Autodesk Inventor Professional 2019 for Designers, 19th Edition

Autodesk Inventor Professional 2019 for Designers is a comprehensive book that introduces the users to Autodesk Inventor 2019, a feature-based 3D parametric solid modeling software. All environments of this solid modeling software are covered in this book with thorough explanation of commands, options, and their applications to create real-world products. The mechanical engineering industry examples that are used as tutorials and the related additional exercises at the end of each chapter help the users to understand the design techniques used in the industry to design a product. Additionally, the author emphasizes on the solid modeling techniques that will improve the productivity and efficiency of the users.
After reading this book, the users will be able to create solid parts, sheet metal parts, assemblies, weldments, drawing views with bill of materials, presentation views to animate the assemblies, and apply direct modeling techniques to facilitate rapid design prototyping.

Some of the Salient Features of this textbook are as follows:

• Detailed explanation of all concepts, techniques, commands, and tools of Autodesk Inventor Professional 2019
• Tutorial approach to explain the concepts
• Step-by-step instructions and real-world mechanical engineering designs as tutorials and projects
• Additional information in the form of notes and tips
• Self-Evaluation Test, Review Questions, and Exercises at the end of each chapter for the users can assess their knowledge.
