© 2011 Autodesk Class Summary This class will teach you about the process for designing consumer products using the Autodesk® Product Design Suite and how to ensure their quality with Autodesk Simulation. Starting with surface modeling and creating a solid model, we will analyze the part to determine if the fiber fill will create a strong plastic part. This information will be taken into Autodesk Simulation Mechanical (formerly Algor®) to verify its strength. Finally, we will create the images that would be used for advertising the part. This class will cover everything you need to design and analyze a model, and optimize it for material and cost.

© 2011 Autodesk Learning Objectives At the end of this class, you will be able to:  Create and enhance models with Autodesk Alias ® and Inventor ®  Optimize the molding process with Autodesk Moldflow ®  Validate your model with Autodesk Simulation
