Autodesk CAD takes flight at Paris Air Show

Autodesk will showcase its 2D and 3D design and engineering software for the aerospace industry at this year's International Paris Air Show, to be held from 15-21 June in Le Bourget, Paris.

Autodesk Inventor 2010 software and the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping allow suppliers to save time and resources in the design-to-manufacture process.

At the show, Autodesk will demonstrate software for three key processes: interior design, engineering and production and repair and maintenance.

Autodesk Alias Design and Autodesk Alias Surface software are suitable for concept design and modelling, visualisation and surfacing for aerospace interiors.

Suppliers can strike the right balance between functional requirements and designing visually appealing aircraft interiors.

Inventor software enables engineers across different teams to simulate and evaluate material choices, design options and manufacturing processes with a single digital model, reducing the number of physical prototypes.

The Autodesk Navisworks range extends digital prototyping to the factory floor, to help engineers make informed decisions about manufacturing facilities, equipment and tooling to help reduce errors and shorten lead time.

Inventor software incorporates 3D product geometry from a variety of sources to develop tools and fixtures used in aerospace-maintenance procedures.

Tight interoperability between Inventor, AutoCAD Mechanical and AutoCAD software also provides an efficient way to create and update documentation for these tools and fixtures.

The Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping enables use of a single digital model across the Autodesk product line and also provides compatibility with legacy applications already used by suppliers and their customers.

The Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping helps aerospace suppliers bring together design data from all phases of the product-development process to develop a single digital model created in Inventor software.

The single digital model simulates the product and gives engineers the ability to design, visualise and simulate their product with less reliance on physical prototypes, accelerating time-to-market.
