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.
Define motion connections by grounding parts and creating rigid groups and joints.
Apply motors, actuators, springs, and gravity to define the elements for a motion analysis.
You can designate variables as the values of certain Motion entities such as spring stiffness, initial condition rates, actuator inputs, and motor inputs.
Use the Translational IC Sets tool to define translational velocity for one or more parts.
Use the Rotational IC Sets tool to define rotational velocity for one or more parts.
Convert rigid bodies to flexible bodies and review flexible body modes before running a motion analysis.
Run a motion analysis, plot the results, and extract the results for use in structural (FE) analysis and optimization.
Prepare and run a computational fluid dynamics simulation.
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.
Set up and run a basic porosity or thinning analysis.
Prepare and run an additive manufacturing simulation, and export a file for 3D printing.
Adjust the materials and environment of objects in the scene to create a photorealistic image.
Learn how to access the Inspire Python API including online help, quick start demos, and the Extension Manager.
View the glossary, frequently asked questions, and errors and alerts.
Learn keyboard shortcuts and mouse controls for common operations.
