In doing so, you can bypass multiple rounds of iteration and get to the best design faster than ever.Ģ016 R2 also included an all new ForceEffect environment directly inside the Inventor application.
Instead of simulating performance after you have modeled the part, you can now tell the software what you want to achieve and your computer goes to work generating an optimized structure based on your requirements. Those of you on maintenance were the first to get access to a new topology optimization tool inside 2016 R2.
If there’s a change to the original model the geometry in Inventor will update automatically, preserving any references or constraints you’ve applied to the model. No more cleaning up models or patching open surfaces. With no translation, the opportunity for errors to occur is virtually eliminated. If you have not yet tried it, An圜AD makes it as easier to work with designs in many of the most used 3D formats along with your existing 2D DWG files with two key capabilities: The highlight of the Inventor 2016 release in April was the introduction of An圜AD technology. The development team has committed a ton of their time towards getting even more of these implemented – especially those that rank at or near the top of the list. Looking ahead to Inventor 2017, expect even more of this. Here’s a few that made it in this past year that, together, received more than 1,000 votes: They usually aren’t the flashy features that catch all the headlines, but they’re the little things that make a big difference in what you do every day. The 2016 release incorporated 33 ideas from the IdeaStation, and we’ve now checked off 89 submissions as ‘implemented’ since the program started. If you haven’t yet visited the Inventor IdeaStation, you’re missing out on an awesome opportunity to talk directly with the development team about how the product can be made better for you.
And with another new release fast approaching, let’s go back and take a look at some of the best stuff from the past 12 months. There were 3 new releases between April and December of 2015 that packed in a ton of new functionality. This past year was really good for Autodesk Inventor.
