For courses in Engineering Design

 

Using a step-by-step format, this book introduces Autodesk Inventor 2009 and shows students how to use Autodesk Inventor to create and document designs. This edition features the addition of chapter test questions, helping students assess their understanding of key concepts. Sample problems, end-of-chapter projects and a variety of additional exercises reinforce the material and allow students to practice the techniques described. The content of the book goes beyond the material normally presented in an engineering graphics text associated with CAD software to include exercises requiring students to design simple mechanisms.

  • Test questions have been added to every chapter.
Hallmark Features:
  • Step-by-step format throughout the text allows students to work directly from the text to the screen and provides an excellent reference during and after the course.
  • Exercise, sample problems and projects appear in each chapter, providing examples of software capabilities and giving students an opportunity to apply their own knowledge to realistic design situations. Includes examples of how to create an animated assembly, apply dimension to a drawing, calculate shear and bending values, and more!
  • ANSI and ISO standards are discussed when appropriate, introducing students to both the ANSI and ISO standards so they learn appropriate techniques and national standards.
  • Autodesk Learning License is now offered via a partnership between Prentice Hall and Autodesk, providing the student version of the Autodesk Inventor 2008 software packaged with the text by using a special ISBN. Includes a 180-day software license agreement and a 1-year license agreement to provide adequate time for students to complete all the activities in the book.
