Adviser jointly developed with Granta Design Ltd.
Tight integration with the 3D design software makes
it practical and cost-eective to use simulation
throughout the design process.
Before Autodesk Inventor, the
engineers would need to make
assumptions and simplifications
to the design or do lengthy hand
calculations. Now they simply
querypropertiessuchasthemass
moment of inertia, and within
minutes, they have the figures they
need.
