Start using Inspire with our interactive tutorials.
Create parametric sketches, geometry, and PolyNURBS with construction history and variables.
Create implicit models with primitives, lattices, point clouds, fields, offsetting, Booleans, inverting, smoothing, morphing, and filleting.
Set up your model and run a structural analysis or optimization.
Set up and run a motion analysis, plot the results, and export the results.
Read a high-level overview of Inspire Fluids with usage notes directly from the Fluids product team.
The minimum system requirements to run Inspire Fluids are listed below.
Create materials, assign materials to parts, and organize them into libraries.
Define the solid and fluid domains for the Fluids simulation.
Include at least one inlet and one outlet, and define the fluid and thermal boundary conditions.
Run a Fluids simulation using default or custom settings.
