Stress Analysis

Autodesk® Inventor® Simulation software provides a combination of industry-specific commands. It extends the capabilities of Autodesk Inventor® for completing complex machinery and other product designs.

This manual provides basic conceptual information to help get you started. It provides examples that introduce you to the capabilities of Stress and Modal Analysis in Autodesk Inventor Simulation.

Built on the Autodesk Inventor application, Autodesk Inventor Simulation includes several different modules. The first module included in this manual is Stress Analysis. It provides functionality for Structural Static and Modal analysis of mechanical product designs.

This chapter provides basic information about the stress analysis environment and the workflow processes necessary to analyze loads and constraints placed on a part or assembly.
