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.
- Motion Connections
  Define motion connections by grounding parts and creating rigid groups and joints.
  - Ground
    Use the Ground tool to define which parts are considered to be ground and therefore immovable.
  - Rigid Groups
    Use the Rigid Groups tool to define which parts are considered to be grouped together and treated as one rigid body.
  - Joints
    Use the Joints tool to connect parts together while allowing movement at the joint location.
  - Couplers
    Use the Couplers tool to couple the rotational or translational movements of connected parts. You can create two-way or three-way couplers.
  - Bushings
    Create bushings between the selected surfaces of the parts.
    - Create Bushings
      Bushings can be created between two set of surfaces of two parts or a single set of surfaces of a single part to ground. You need to define at least one linear or rotational stiffness. Mass is optional.
    - Edit Bushings
      Select one or more bushings to change their properties.
    - Open the Bushings Table
      Review all bushings and edit their names and properties in one place.
- Motion Forces
  Apply motors, actuators, springs, and gravity to define the elements for a motion analysis.
- Motion Setup
  Complete the motion setup by creating veloctiy initial conditions and flexible bodies.
- Motion Analysis
  Run a motion analysis, plot the results, and extract the results for use in structural (FE) analysis and optimization.
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.
Manufacture
Set up and run a basic porosity or thinning analysis.
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.
Inspire Python API
Learn how to access the Inspire Python API including online help, quick start demos, and the Extension Manager.
