Learn Autodesk Inventor Simulation We assume that you have a working knowledge of the Autodesk Inventor Simulation interface and tools. If you do not, use Help for access to online documentation and tutorials, and complete the exercises in the Autodesk Inventor Simulation Getting Started manual. At a minimum, we recommend that you understand how to: ■ Use the assembly, part modeling, and sketch environments and browsers. ■ Edit a component in place. ■ Create, constrain, and manipulate work points and work features. ■ Set color styles. Be more productive with Autodesk® software. Get trained at an Autodesk Authorized Training Center (ATC®) with hands-on, instructor-led classes to help you get the most from your Autodesk products.
