With AutoCAD® Inventor® Simulation Suite 2011, 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.
Simply add the driving loads, friction characteristics, and dynamic components.
Then, run the simulation to validate the design. Smooth integration with stress
analysis validates component design with actual load information, rather than
estimates.
The stress analysis functionality in Inventor Simulation Suite helps users
understand how parts perform under load, so they know their designs have sufficient
strength to perform without failure. The stress analysis tools are fully integrated
with the dynamic simulation tools, enabling users to perform stress analysis
with accurate load conditions that are calculated directly from the dynamic
behavior of the design.
