  • What's New

    Discover new features and enhancements.

  • Get Started

    New to Inspire Form? Learn the basics here.

  • Tutorials

    Start using Inspire Form with our interactive tutorials.

  • Variables

    Create and assign variables to parametrize a model. This allows you to quickly iterate and compare design concepts by tweaking the values of the variables.

  • Parametric Modeling

    Create 2D sketches, surfaces, and solids.

  • Feasibility Setup and Simulation

    Perform Feasibility, Blank Fit, and Blank Nesting analyses.

  • Die Face Design

    Open any part in Studio to design the die, and import the die face design into Inspire Form from Studio.

  • Die Design

    Use the Die Design ribbon to design and generate die surfaces.

  • Tryout Setup and Simulation

    Perform tryout analyses to validate die designs.

  • Design Explorer

    Evaluate designs by using geometric variables and applying a design-of-experiments (DOE) or optimization method. We recommend fully constraining your sketch when sketch variables are used in the design exploration.

  • Rendering

    Adjust the materials, environment, and properties of objects in the scene to create a photorealistic image.

  • Geometric Analysis

    Analyze the object geometry for negative draft, trim angle, and shortest distance between parts.

  • Simulation Results

    Review forming outcomes through the Analysis Explorer.

  • Reference

    View the glossary or frequently asked questions.

  • Keyboard Shortcuts and Mouse Controls

    Learn keyboard shortcuts and mouse controls for common operations.
