Monat: Mai 2010

Über die Möglichkeiten von Inventor Simulation habe ich schon öfter geschrieben, aber Algor ist doch ein Thema das ich nur ab und zu gestreift habe. Aus diesem Grund möchte ich etwas den Schleier des Unbekannten entfernen und Ihnen hier für den ersten Einstieg ein VideoTraining der Autodesk University 2009 zur Verfügung stellen, inklusive dem Handout zur Dokumentation der Session.

Also dann Simulieren Sie mal los! 🙂

Hier können Sie überigens die Testversion herunterladen

 Handout zum Thema Algor ma304-5.pdf

„Ja manchmal vergisst man die guten alten Funktionen, oder sogar die Neuen, welche man noch gar nicht angewandt hat!“

Wovon ich spreche? – Das Rückspulen Werkzeug, mit dem Sie die Ansicht ihres Modells anpassen können. Doch nie ausprobiert? Sehen sie jetzt wissen Sie was ich meine.

Ich bin mir nicht ganz sicher wann die Funktion integriert wurde, aber im Inventor 2010 konnte man sie auf jeden Fall schon nutzen. Lassen Sie mich noch kurz anmerken, dass diese Funktionalität so auch in AutoCAD anwendbar ist, auch hier gibt es die Funktion Rückspulen.

   

Und so können Sie die Funktion nutzen:

• Als erstes aktivieren Sie das Navigations-Steuerelement aus der Navigationsleiste. Achten Sie darauf dass die Darstellung des „Navigationsrads“ auf  Vollnavigations-Rad eingestellt ist.
• Nun wählen Sie die Funktion „Zurück“, um den Rückspulmodus zu aktivieren, bitte halten Sie hierbei die linke Maustaste gedrückt.
• Als nächstes erscheint die Liste der letzten Ansichten die sich Inventor gemerkt hat.
• Durch ziehen der Maus, bei gedrückter linker Maustaste, können sie nun aus den verschiedenen Ansichten wählen.

Sehr hilfreich gerade wenn man ohne 3D-Maus arbeitet

Probieren Sie es mal aus, viel Spaß damit! 🙂

As you know from past post I was responsible for Video documenting the ECO Marathon from the Autodesk perspective. I am still working on it, but to keep you all informed about results of the Competition, here the winner of the off Track rewards, sponsored by Autodesk and Shell.

Please find also the link to the first out-off two Videos that I recorded at the EuroSpeedway Lausitz. 

These are the winner of the off track rewards:

Autodesk Design Award-Urban Concept
UrbanConcept: Hochschulen Merseburg, Burg Halle, Chemnitz, Germany.
An innovative, sustainable design, aligning transferrable technology from boat-building to automotive design using laminated wood, and a creative design strategy integrating excellent engineering and setting a new trend in automotive design.

Autodesk Design Award-Prototype
Prototype: Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy. An evolution from digital prototype and first concept into an improved and more efficient design. Excellent quality of engineering design and professional finish reflecting efficient aerodynamics and elegant aesthetics.

Shell Communications & Marketing Award
Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy, for an integrated, comprehensive, and professionally thought-out communications campaign that intelligently and effectively married traditional and new media. Dedicated engineers also emerged as consummate communicators, and the team excelled in creating compelling content in multiple languages. The team’s outstanding communications efforts are reflected in the high number of sponsors they managed to secure.

Shell Technical Innovation Award
Royal Institute of Technology KTH, Stockholm, Sweden, for its compact HCCI internal-combustion engine with variable ratio to control the operation modes. This concept solves the problem of wide load range optimisation common to internal combustion engines.

ADAC Safety Award
Technical University of Crete, Greece, for the integration into their vehicle design of many innovative and clever safety features, including a fitted adjustable steering column reducing impact damage to the driver in the event of collision, a small boot to contain first aid emergency rescue equipment, and a self-releasing cabin hood which is easily manoeuvrable internally as well as externally that improves the speed of driver evacuation.

SKF Eco-friendly Award
Hofstad Lyceum, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, for an integrated approach to sustainability that informed the team’s thinking throughout the entire project, from integrating a maximum of recyclable materials into the vehicle design, to sourcing from local suppliers with the greenest possible credentials, using bicycles locally at home and trains for the team’s transportation to and from the EuroSpeedway Lausitz, and running a sustainability educational programme for their fellow students to raise awareness of environmental issues.

Shell  Best Team Spirit Award
ENSMM, France, a team that really had fun together, engendered a great team spirit with minimum supervision, were infectious in exporting their brand of team spirit to other teams, invested their own time and money for the greater good of the team, and communicated and cooperated with another school in their region to share best practices.

People’s Choice
The winner of the People’s Choice Award is Team mecc-H2 (no. 205) of  the Politecnico di Milano – Dipartimento di Meccanica from Italy driving ARTEMIDE who received 51,496 out of nearly a quarter of a million votes cast.

Energy efficiency is becoming more and more importance. Creating a competition around it makes it attractive. So Shell as a creative forward looking company started in 1985 the shell Eco marathon. Sins then the marathon is a success and attracts so students from many Schools and Universities around the world, in numbers this means 400 Teams from 42 Countries participating as competitors. This year it is a very special year because the eco marathon gets to the next level the completion is held in America, Europe and Asia.

  

Autodesk Education is one of the sponsors of this Event and I am responsible for documenting the Event by Video from the Autodesk Education prospective and to be honest the weather isn’t great, but on the other hand the Autodesk Tent is constantly filled with Students, it’s great to see how many Students are interested in using Autodesk Products like Inventor and Alias. For a little kind of entertainment till the weather is getting better (it’s raining like hell) and the Event speeds here I have a link to the “Eco race” Online Game from Autodesk Education. Have fun and stay tuned!
