Description
Learn CAD design, FEM simulation, animation of parts and assemblies step by step with Autodesk INVENTOR (2022) | The ultimate practical guide for beginners | Designed by an engineer
Are you interested in Autodesk Inventor and / or CAD design, animation & FEM simulation for professional or private reasons? Are you an engineer, student, inventor, tinkerer, model maker or just technically interested? Then keep on reading! You've come to the right place! This course teaches you CAD design and the creation of three-dimensional objects for 3D printing or model making, prototyping, other forms of machine manufacturing, design elements,... If you are looking for a practical and compact beginner course for Autodesk's Inventor and want to take a professional course from an engineer (M.Eng.), then enroll now! One hint: a license for Inventor is not free of charge! But there is a 30 day test license for free using and for students there are educational free licenses. For all hobby and private users I recommend the semi-professional CAD program Fusion 360 (you will also find a course for this software).
This course was created with Inventor version 2022, but in general the previous and subsequent versions are very similar (especially in the basics). So if you have an earlier or newer version of Inventor, you can use this course too! Be sure to take a look at the course trailer as well!
In this comprehensive course, you'll learn all the basics you need to confidently use Inventor from Autodesk, in detail and step-by-step. Whether you've worked with other CAD programs before, such as Solidworks or Catia, or have no prior knowledge in this area, this course is for you! With this course you will learn all the basic functions of Inventor from scratch, in detail and step by step under the guidance of an engineer. Get started now with this step-by-step, professional CAD & FEM tutorial.
Inventor unites and combines engineering disciplines such as CAD ("Computer Aided Design") and FEM ("Finite Element Method") in one software. With Inventor you can not only create parts or assemblies, but also do simulations and animations. The main focus of this course is on designing with Inventor. However, the other functions of Inventor will not be neglected and will of course be covered in detail, so don't worry!
Why this course? Your advantages at a glance:
Learn the basics of using INVENTOR step-by-step under the guidance of an engineer (Master of Engineering) and experienced user
Hands-on learning with many great example projects (please watch the course trailer)
Learn all the beginner sections of Inventor (CAD/Design, FEM/Simulation, Rendering, Animation, Technical Drawings)
Get a simple, straightforward & fast introduction to Inventor
Easy to follow explanations. Ideal for beginners, newbies and intermediates.
Learn everything important quickly! Compact and to the point: Total running time approx. 3 hours.

FAQ's about the course:
What can I learn in this course?
The course includes everything you need to know to design (CAD), animate, render, simulate (FEM) and fabricate (technical drawings) 3D parts. You will learn how to use Inventor from Autodesk step by step and from scratch. Everything from creating a 2D sketch to using Inventor's features for creating a three-dimensional object is included. The software and its features are presented in detail and explained using great projects (best to watch the trailer).
What do I need for the course and how long does it take?
The course for Inventor has a total duration of about 3 hours (divided into several completed individual lessons). Of course, you are free to choose which chapters you would like to view at which time and you can also take a break at any time. Apart from a PC and the CAD software Inventor (you can find out about the cost of a license on the Autodesk website; student and 30 day test license available free of charge), you do not need any other materials.
Is the tutorial for beginners only?
This course is generally designed for beginners and absolute beginners with no prior knowledge. No matter if only for information purposes about working with CAD software for designing, simulating, manufacturing, etc. or for applying and implementing own ideas and projects. All procedures are explained in detail and are presented in a way that is easy to understand. This course is also ideal for intermediate users of CAD design or Inventor, as well as for all engineers, tinkerers, inventors, artists, students, young people, retirees, etc.
Who will show me the CAD basics in this course?
The Inventor course is taught by an engineer (Master of Engineering). Theory and practice are combined in this course!
Is it difficult to learn how to use Inventor and CAD design & FEM simulation?
The application of these engineering disciplines are quite a complex subject, as the handling of the software has to be learned and it requires a bit of spatial imagination. Without help, one can lose the overview. With this comprehensive and detailed tutorial, however, you have all the information combined in one format and thus always keep track. Everything you need is explained step by step and as simply as possible. In this way, you can get started easily and continue to use the program on your own.
Will I also learn how to work with assemblies and create technical drawings?
Yes! In the course, individual parts and assemblies are designed and simulated. The creation of technical drawings is addressed in the course in a lesson, but it is not taught in detail here, that would go beyond the scope of this course. There will be a separate course on this in the future.
What can I even do with 3D objects, CAD and Inventor in general?
You have the possibility to create numerous great objects out of nothing, and implement your own ideas and projects. You could then print them out with a 3D printer, for example, or have them manufactured by a company (by milling, turning,...). Thus, you could create prototypes of an invention, create 3D objects for model making, design spare parts that are no longer available or other great objects and then materialize them.
You can also use this course for professional and personal development. Learning how to use CAD software can greatly expand your professional and personal horizons for the better!
