Using ANSYS in autodesk Inventor for design details machine

Abstract

Inventor software - a product of Autodesk company that can build 3D objects conveniently, visually and intelligently, has been broadly used in mechanical designing as well as in other technical fields. Among product lines of ANSYS Technology, ANSYS/Design Space is one neat tool that allows to fast calculate in some design drawing environments using computer. ANSYS in Inventor environment combines advantages of Inventor and DesignSpace to create a highly convenient tool for designing parts of machines. Beside designing ability for general parts of machine using solved programs, ANSYS in Inventor environment can also design the parts with any shapes. This article introduces some computing results for durability, hardness and determination of free vibration specifications for machine parts with any shapes using ANSYS/DesignSpace software in Autodesk Inventor Professional 11 environment.
