Technote: Autodesk Inventor 2022 Part Model States

In a previous Technote I briefly introduced the work method for Derived parts that provide the capability of managing model states i.e. from Forged part to machining; as separate part files. This was included in a discussion on the P-51 Mustang Tail Wheel down position modeling.

Inventor 2022; just released; now has a feature called Part Model states which will enable you to manage manufacturing operations, dimensional variations and simplified representations all on one part file.

Check out the introductory video on The Autodesk website for more details on this feature as well as more information on the latest release of Autodesk^® Inventor^®. This is packed with user-requested updates and enhancements to help manage your design process, speed up your connected engineering workflows and reduce repetitive tasks.

Whilst Autodesk Inventor is not normally associated with the Aviation industry it has a very advanced 3D toolset that adapts well to this industry as I have demonstrated in the many Technotes throughout this blog. So do checkout my previous articles on using Inventor in this environment and drop me a line or comment below. More information on Inventor 2022 and specific tutorials on utilizing the host of features within Inventor will follow.
