The structure of the course follow the typical stages of modeling using Autodesk Inventor – creating sheet metal parts, editing them, generating flat patterns, and documenting the designs in drawings. All existing material has been updated for use in the new Ribbon interface, as well as the introduction of the new sheet metal features. New features added to the software that are now addressed within the training manual include lofted flange, contour roll, rip, and unfold and refold features.

“ASCENT’s Autodesk Inventor 2010 Sheet Metal Design focuses on features specific to the process of sheet metal part creation,” said Joe Oswald, Executive Vice-President PLM Operations, RAND Worldwide. “Incorporating software enhancements and a host of new features, the training guide is designed to ensure that users will maximize their application of this new release.”

Students are taught to create schematic drawings, panel drawings, and PLC-I/O circuits using automated commands for symbol insertion, component tagging, wire numbering, drawing modification, and reports.
