Autodesk Inventor Simulation Suite 2008, Complete package, 1 user, German 46602-121462-9000 User Manual

Simulate the operation of mechanisms and 
motorized assemblies to make sure your designs 
will work, while reducing physical prototyping 
costs. Compute the dynamic operating conditions 
of the design throughout its full operating cycle, 
and accurately size motors and actuators to sustain 
actual operating loads. Analyze positions, velocities, 
accelerations, and loads encountered by a selected 
component in the mechanism.

With Inventor, designers can use Dynamic Simulation to 

predict how a product will work under real-world conditions, 

without having to build costly, time-consuming physical 

prototypes or waiting for results from expensive consultants.

Dynamic Simulation

Simply add the 

driving loads, friction 

characteristics, and 

dynamic components. 

Then, run the simulation 

to validate the design. 

Seamless integration with 

stress analysis validates 

component design with 

actual load information, 

rather than estimates.

Transfer reaction forces from discrete time steps 

to Autodesk Inventor Stress Analysis or ANSYS

®

 

Workbench to predict stress and deflection with 
accurate peak loads. Size components, such as pins 
and linkages, to minimize weight and material costs.
