Tutorials
Start using Inspire with our interactive tutorials.
Parametric Modeling
Create parametric sketches, geometry, and PolyNURBS with construction history and variables.
Implicit Modeling
Create implicit models with primitives, lattices, point clouds, fields, offsetting, Booleans, inverting, smoothing, morphing, and filleting.
Structures
Set up your model and run a structural analysis or optimization.
Motion
Set up and run a motion analysis, plot the results, and export the results.
Fluids
Prepare and run a computational fluid dynamics simulation.
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.

- Porosity
  Set up and view the results of a simple porosity analysis for casting.
  - Run a Porosity Analysis
    Use to run a quick porosity analysis when designing metal parts that are casted. Then interactively view the results using the Analysis Explorer.
  - View Porosity Analysis Results
    Use to view the results of a porosity analysis. You can view shrinkage percentage, temperature evolution, solid fraction, and solidification times for a selected run and load case.
- Thinning
  Set up and view the results of a simple thinning analysis for stamping.
Print 3D
Prepare and run an additive manufacturing simulation, and export a file for 3D printing.
Rendering
Adjust the materials and environment of objects in the scene to create a photorealistic image.
