Complete Autodesk Inventor assembly course

Learn Autodesk Inventor assemblies from constraints and joints to patterns, bills of materials, and adaptive parts, if you already know part modelling basics.

<h2>About this course</h2>In this course, you learn to build and modify assemblies in Autodesk Inventor through a project-based approach, where each topic is taught on a sample project. You start with the assembly workspace, inserting the first component, and work features.Relationships get the most attention. Across three lessons on constraints, you learn how to relate parts to each other, then explore motion and transitional constraints, constraint sets, joints, and advanced joint constraints. Patterns follow, where you pattern, mirror, and copy components within an assembly.In the Manage section, you work with the bill of materials, parameters, and the purge tool, and pick up productivity tools for assembly work. The Advanced section covers working in the assembly, promoting and demoting components, adaptive and flexible components, and linking parameters, so you can handle more complex assemblies.Each section includes a practice exercise and quiz. The course closes with a self-assessment project, where you insert base parts, add stiffeners, pattern a corner support, and add corner supports to complete an assembly on your own. By the end, you can make and modify most types of assemblies in Inventor.<h2>Who should take this course</h2>This course is for you if you are new to Autodesk Inventor assemblies, already know the basics of part modelling and sketching, and want to learn them from scratch. It suits mechanical design students, CAD users, and engineers who need to bring individual parts together, control how they move, and manage bills of materials. It also fits Inventor users who model parts confidently but have avoided assemblies until now.<h3>Pre-requisites</h3>You should know the basics of part modelling and sketching in Autodesk Inventor. Inventor 2024 or later on Windows is recommended, although you can follow along with older versions of Autodesk Inventor as well.
