      abstract = {"Expert author Curtis Waguespack developed this detailed  reference and tutorial with straightforward explanations,  real-world examples, and practical tutorials that focus  squarely on teaching Inventor tips, tricks, and techniques.  The author's extensive experience across industries and  their Inventor expertise allows him to teach the software  in the context of real-world workflows and work  environments. He presents topics that are poorly documented  elsewhere, such as design tactics for large assemblies,  effective model design for different industries, strategies  for effective data and asset sharing across teams, using 2D  and 3D data from other CAD systems, and improving designs  by incorporating engineering principles.Mastering Inventor  2011 begins with an overview of Inventor design concepts  and application before exploring all aspects of part  design, including sketching, basic and advanced modeling  techniques, working with sheet metal, and part editing. The  book then looks at assemblies and subassemblies, explaining  real-world workflows and offering extensive detail on  working with large assemblies.Weldment design is detailed  next before the reader is introduced to the functional  design using Design Accelerators and Design Calculators.  The detailed documentation chapter then covers everything  from presentation files to simple animations to  documentation for exploded views, sheet metal flat  patterns, and more. The following chapters explore crucial  productivity-boosting tools, data exchange, the Frame  Generator, and the Inventor Studio visualization tools.  Finally, the book explores Inventor Professional's dynamic  simulation and stress analysis features as well as the  routed systems features (piping, tubing, cabling, and  harnesses).Mastering Inventor's detailed discussions are  reinforced with step-by-step tutorials, and readers can  compare their work to the downloadable before-and-after  tutorial files. It also features content to help readers  pass the Inventor Certified Associate and Certified  Professional exams and will feature instructor support  materials appropriate for use in both the training and  higher education channels. Mastering Inventor is the  ultimate resource for those who want to quickly become  proficient with Autodesk's 3D manufacturing software and  prepare for the Inventor certification exams"--},
