Work with Calculators
Design Accelerator offers a set of tools to perform mechanical calculations of
selected components. Engineering calculators use standard mechanical
formulas and physical theories in design and validation of mechanical systems.
You specify calculation criteria and calculators perform the calculation and
displays report about a calculation. If the calculation doesn’t indicate the
calculation compliance, error message is displayed advising you what values
need to be updated. Using Design Accelerator calculators you do not insert
components into the Autodesk Inventor, only calculation is inserted when
you click OK.
The following calculators are available:
■ Plain Bearing
■ Plug and Groove Weld
■ Butt Weld
■ Spot Weld
■ Filled Weld (Connection Plane Load)
■ Filled Weld (Spatial Load)
■ Butt Solder Joint
■ Bevel Solder Joint
■ Lap Solder Joint
