Great Tool for Creating Factory Assets or Batch Publishing Shrinkwrap Files

Task scheduler with Inventor 2011 added Assembly shrinkwrap functionality.  This will be a huge time saver for any company needing to create light weight assembly files for use inside of Inventor.  This is also great functionality to be utilized for creating factory assets or library items to be used with the Inventor factory suite. 

Set up a task to include one or multiple shrinkwraps, and schedule it to perform at a convenient time. Options are available for each assembly in your task. The shrinkwrap Assemblies task can be part of a sequential task also.

You can open your assemblies later using the shrinkwrap substitute levels of detail.  This will provide better assembly performance and also good practices for working with the factory asset creation tools.

Inventor Factory Suite – Creating a Asset

We take a look at creating a asset with the tools provided with the new Autodesk Inventor Factory Suite.  A asset is really just a library part file or assembly file specially created for the factory environment.  It will allow you to select floor position of your item, connection points so other items can easily be constrained with a single pick and also allows you to utilize custom parameters to change position of your items within the environment itself.  Let’s take a look at creating an asset with Autodesk Inventor Factory Suite.

Autodesk Factory Design Suite – Preview

 Autodesk has done it once again by introducing new technology to solve traditional 2D processes for:

  • Factory/Plant Layout
  • System Layout
  • System Intergration

Autodesk Factory Design Suite is a 2D/3D factory layout solution purpose-built to help you make better design decisions and accelerate the factory layout process by creating a digital prototype of your factory.  This post takes a quick look at the technology and I will be adding additional post for deeper dives into the product in the upcoming weeks.  If you have any questions or are just interested in learning more contact us at: cadgeeks@tatatechnologies.com
