New to Inspire Form? Learn the basics here.
Browse and organize all of the entities in your model.
Organize parts into assemblies and view part alternatives.
Discover new features and enhancements.
The Inspire Form workspace includes the ribbon, modeling window, legend, and status bar.
Learn how to select objects, pan and rotate the view, change the units system, and other basic tasks.
A list of supported operating systems and minimum requirements for hardware and memory.
Some ribbon tabs are associated with license features. Depending upon the tab you have invoked, additional units may be drawn. These features will be checked out for the duration of the session.
Learn how to import geometry and export results.
Review techniques for selecting and editing objects.
Change the view in the modeling window using the mouse or view controls.
Translate, rotate, and align parts and other objects using the Move tool and snaps.
Record a video or take a snapshot of the screen.
Change the default unit system, create custom units, and measure geometry features.
Find entities in the model that contain the search string you enter. The search results are not filtered.
Search entities and automatically filter the results to only display the entities that contain the search string. You can also filter by entity type.
Show or hide an entity by clicking its icon in the Model Browser or using the context menu.
A part is a geometric object made up of any combination of solids, surfaces, and curves. It can also be a mesh.
Configure a model by activating or deactivating parts so they are included or excluded from calculations like mass summaries, static weight calculations, optimization, etc.
Quickly find out how many items are in an entire model, an assembly, or a part. For example, if you select the entire model, you will see the number of forces, supports, assemblies, parts, loads, etc. If you select a part, you will see the mass, volume, bounding box, center of gravity, features, etc.
