Simulation provides tools to simulate and analyze the dynamic
characteristics of an assembly in motion under various load conditions. You can also export
load conditions at any motion state to Stress Analysis in Autodesk Inventor Simulation to see
how parts respond from a structural point of view to dynamic loads at any point in the range
of motion of the assembly
About Autodesk Inventor Simulation
The dynamic simulation environment works only with Autodesk Inventor
®
assembly (.iam) files.
With the dynamic simulation, you can:
■ Have the software automatically convert all mate and insert constraints into
standard joints.
■ Access a large library of motion joints.
■ Define external forces and moments.
■ Create motion simulations based on position, velocity, acceleration, and
torque as functions of time in joints, in addition to external loads.
■ Visualize 3D motion using traces.
■ Export full output graphing and charts to Microsoft
®
Excel
®
.
■ Transfer dynamic and static joints and inertial forces to Autodesk Inventor
Simulation Stress Analysis or ANSYS Workbench.
