Note: Click and read the required Tutorial Files Installation Instructions athttp://www.autodesk.com/inventor-tutorial-data-sets-2014 . Then download the tutorial data sets and the required Tutorial Files Installation Instructions, and install the datasets as instructed.
The tutorial uses an Inventor assembly with frames and demonstrates the process of creating, solving, and viewing results. We use 3D plots to illustrate the various mode shapes and corresponding frequency values.
Objectives
- Create a modal simulation.
- Change simulation properties.
- Exclude components from simulation.
- Run a simulation.
- View the results.
- Create an animation of results.
Prerequisites
- Complete the Frame Analysis tutorial.
- See the Help topics for further information.
