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.
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.
- Negative Draft Analysis
  Analyze the negative draft angle of a part with reference to the draw direction.
- Trim Angle Analysis
  Analyze the trim angle of the free edges of the part with reference to the draw direction.
- Shortest Distance Analysis
  Analyze the shortest distance between the selected tool and its corresponding tool.
Simulation Results
