Get Started With Stress
Analysis
Autodesk
®
Inventor
™
Simulation software provides a combination of industry-specific tools
that extend the capabilities of Autodesk Inventor for completing complex machinery and
other product designs.
Stress Analysis in Autodesk Inventor Simulation is an add-on to the Autodesk Inventor part
and sheet metal environments. It provides the capability to analyze the stress and frequency
responses of mechanical part designs.
This chapter provides basic information about the stress analysis environment and the
workflow processes necessary to analyze loads and constraints placed on a part.
About Autodesk Inventor Simulation
Built on the Autodesk Inventor application, Autodesk Inventor Simulation
includes several different modules. The first module included in this manual is
Stress Analysis. It provides functionality for stressing and analyzing mechanical
product designs.
This manual provides basic conceptual information to help get you started and
specific examples that introduce you to the capabilities of Stress Analysis in
Autodesk Inventor Simulation.
