The Bolted Connection Generator
The Bolted Connection Generator is one example of a functional design tool. It can create and
insert a complete bolted connection all at once by sizing the bolt diameter and length, by select-
ing the right parts and holes, and by assembling all the components together. You can create
templates for common fastener stacks that you might use every day, as well.

The Frame Generator
The Frame Generator will create internal or external frame assemblies for machines. The Frame
Generator functions by creating a skeleton part to define the frame within an assembly file.
You then use the skeleton to place and size the frame members. You can then use multiple skel-
etal models within an assembly to create frame members, and you can create frame members
between skeletal models. You can also create frame members from the vertices and edges of
existing subassemblies. This ability allows you to build framing between other components
within an assembly. Joining frame members together and adjusting the end treatments for con-
nection between members is a simple matter when using the Frame Generator. Joining frame
members with weld gaps and coped joints is supported.

The Inventor Studio
Inventor Studio is an environment within Autodesk Inventor with a complete set of tools for
creating and editing renderings and animations. With Inventor Studio you will be able to create
animated renderings and photorealistic still images of parts and assemblies to help visualize the
appearance and motion of designs before they are built. Inventor Studio allows you to specify
geometry and apply settings for background lights and cameras to create a scene for rendering
or animation. You can create and save multiple animations within any one assembly file. You
can use Inventor constraints and parameters to drive animations within the assembly file. In
addition, any changes that are made in the part or assembly file will be transferred and reflected
in the rendering and animation files.

AutoLimits
The AutoLimits tool monitors selected aspects of the design relative to boundaries that the
user specifies. If results fall above or below the boundary limits, a warning indicator is dis-
played. AutoLimits can also be used to measure distance, length, volume, mass, and so on.
Once AutoLimits are created, they constantly monitor to make sure the design still fits its
requirements.

The Content Center
The Inventor Content Center libraries provide the designer with standard parts (fasteners,
steel shapes, shaft parts, and so on) and part features. You can access the Content Center
libraries from the Content Center in the Assembly tool panel, and you can share the libraries
between users to provide a high level of standardization. The Content Center dialog box per-
mits you to look up and insert standard parts and features into an assembly design. You can
create custom Content Center folders to allow users to create custom parts for use within the
Content Center. Content Center parts allow users to specify ANSI, DIN, ISO, and other inter-
national standard parts within the design environment.
