Autodesk Digital Prototyping – Test & Validation

The Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping enables your manufacturing workgroups to develop a single digital model, created in Inventor, that can be used in every stage of production – bridging the gaps that usually exist between conceptual design, engineering, and manufacturing teams.

 

Inventor software delivers the best integrated simulation tools in the industry. Tightly integrated tools for calculations, stress, deflection and motion simulation make it possible for engineers to help optimize and validate a digital prototype before the product is built. Simulation is performed based on real-world constraints, so you can feel confident about the simulation results. The dynamic simulation tools in Inventor enable engineers to evaluate different potential solutions to a motion problem, making it possible to make the best design decisions and avoid costly mistakes.

Use Autodesk Simulation Workflow injection molding simulation software to optimize plastic part and injection mold designs and ensure manufacturability – helping shorten development times, reduce costs, and avoid manufacturing defects.

The Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping enables you to:

• Perform design validation testing before releasing designs to the shop floor with a broad range of tools for finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis.
• Perform stress, deflection, and motion simulation in-house to reduce costs and speed design times.
• Validate and update digital prototypes easily with the bi-directional data flow between Autodesk simulation software and mechanical engineering tools.
• Integrate mechanical, structural, fluid flow, thermal, composite, and plastic injection molding simulation tools into your prototype testing process to help speed time to market.
• Determine the best material choices and check manufacturability of part and mold designs to help avoid production delays, manufacturing defects, or costly mistakes.
• Reduce reliance on costly physical prototypes or outside specialists for design validation testing
• Accurately capture and share ideas with others for input and collaboration with cloud based product lifecycle management.
