Focusing on Mechanical Desktop's Designer and Assembly modules, this book will guide the user through the process of generating 3-D parametric models, producing 2-D views, and assembling parts together. Each chapter introduces a topic and then takes the user through a step-by-step example of its use, followed by practice exercises based upon real world problems taken from many design disciplines, showing the user how to apply Mechanical Desktop to industry, a benefit to both the professional and the applied student.. As there are many ways to complete models using Mechanical Desktop, the exercises are designed to encourage experimentation. Review questions at the end of each chapter reinforce the material learned. New users as well as those experienced with Mechanical Desktop will find this text easy to follow, informative, and practical. A CD-ROM in the back of the book contains workfiles and aids for the user.

This edition of Mechanical Desktop 4.0: Applying Designer and Assembly Modules has been completely reorganized to provide you with a more intuitive, yet equally comprehensive, introduction to Mechanical Desktop features and functions than ever before! Featuring numerous step-by-step exercises based on real parts and assemblies - plus more than 500 images to show you exactly what your screen should look like - this how-to book will enable even first-time Mechanical Desktop users to quickly achieve proficiency.More than a cookbook-style tutorial, Mechanical Desktop 4.0 also features exercises from a variety of disciplines for you to complete on your own as you master the ins and outs of this powerful, parametric design tool. And, because they are many ways to complete a model using Mechanical Desktop, each exercise has been carefully crafted to encourage experimentation as you learn. Since new 4.0 commands, and commands that have changed from release 3.X and 2.X, are highlighted upfront in the table of contents, Mechanical Desktop 4.0 also serves as a valuable quick-start and reference manual for even the most experienced user. It's a "must" for every mechanical engineer's personal or professional reference library!

Mechanical Desktop 4: Applying Designer and Assembly Modules

Gain a first-hand understanding of computer modeling concepts as you discover the secrets of using Mechanical Desktop 6 to construct 3D parametric solid parts, generate assemblies, produce 3D NURBS-based surface models, and output 2D engineering drawings! New from Autodesk Press, Maximizing Autodesk Mechanical Desktop is a "must" for mechanical engineers and engineering students alike. Unlike cookbook-style tutorials, this book propels readers to an understanding of computer-aided design theory while offering in-depth instruction in the whys and hows of using Mechanical Desktop to save time and enhance productivity. The first chapter begins with an overview of computer modeling concepts, explains how 3D objects are represented on computer, and introduces readers to the Mechanical Desktop 6 user interface (including use of the desktop browser). Using carefully engineered examples and exercises, subsequent chapters lead readers through the ins and outs of each of the four Mechanical Desktop modules: part modeling, assembly modeling, surface modeling, and engineering drafting. Instruction in converting AutoCAD solids to Mechanical Desktop solids, editing static base solid features by leveraging AutoCAD solid editing tools, and using the feature exchange add-on is also included to empower readers with the expertise needed to fully exploit the power of their software.

Based on the latest version of the software, Autodesk Inventor from the Top uses realistic examples, exercises, tutorials, plus more than 500 screen captures to guide readers, step-by-step, through basic sketching and solid modeling to the application of more advanced modeling techniques. Ideal for mechanical engineering professionals and students, this how-to and reference manual begins with an overview of part creation. Subsequent chapters, each building on information presented previously, lead readers through the process of using mission-critical Autodesk Inventor features and functions. Users learn to sketch, constrain and dimension 3D drawings, create and edit drawing views, and create assemblies and sub-assemblies. A variety of time saving and productivity enhancing advanced solid modeling techniques - such as derived parts and assemblies plus mass property information for active and multiple parts - are also explored in detail. Comprehensive in scope, the final chapter provides opportunities to gain valuable hands-on experience with additional Autodesk Inventor functionality, including: transcripting, migrating, importing other 3D file types, using the Design Assistant and Engineer's Notebook, and more!
