Objectives

This course teaches you how to incorporate surfacing and freeform modelling techniques into your design environment.

You begin with instructions on how to create the splines and 3D sketches commonly used in surface creation. Chapters on surface creation focus on using these sketches or existing geometry to create surfaces for use in your solid models. Freeform modelling is also covered, which enables you to create complex shapes without needing the constraints required in a parametric workflow. To complete the course, you will learn how to use the Autodesk Inventor surface analysis tools to evaluate the continuity between surfaces and the curvature on a surface, determine if the applied draft is within a specified range, and conduct section analysis to evaluate wall thickness values.

Pre-requisites

The material covered in this course assumes a mastery of Autodesk Inventor basics as taught in the Autodesk Inventor: Introduction to Solid Modeling course.
