Autodesk Inventor
Autodesk Inventor ist eine professionelle und umfangreiche Software für 3D-Mechanik-Design, Dokumentation und Produkt-Simulation, die weltweit in einer Vielzahl von Branchen genutzt wird. Insbesondere im Maschinenbau und Anlagenbau, wo große, komplizierte Strukturen entworfen und die damit verbundenen physischen Prozesse simuliert werden müssen, wird Autodesk Inventor oft eingesetzt.
Eine der besonderen Funktionen, die Autodesk Inventor zu bieten hat, ist die Möglichkeit, Punktwolken zu nutzen. Punktwolken sind ein Mechanismus zur Darstellung dreidimensionaler geometrischer Informationen und bestehen aus einer großen Anzahl von Punkten, die in einem dreidimensionalen Raum verteilt sind. Sie werden oft als Störkantenmodell genutzt, das eine genaue Darstellung eines realen Objekts oder einer Szene ermöglicht, in der jeder Punkt im Raum eine bestimmte Position und Farbe hat.
One of the unique features of Inventor is the ability to design directly in the point cloud. This allows mechanical and plant engineers to significantly improve their design process, as they are no longer limited to the original sketches and plans, but can incorporate the real-world information and data obtained from the point cloud directly into their designs. This provides tremendous accuracy and enables more detailed and realistic modeling and simulation.
Point clouds created with registration programs such as Faro Scene can be exported in .rcp or .rcs format and imported directly into Autodesk Inventor. These point cloud formats are particularly suitable for representing large, complex structures and offer a high level of accuracy and detail. By using point clouds, plant and mechanical engineers can create and verify their designs with a level of accuracy and realism unattainable with traditional methods.
Autodesk Inventor offers a number of special tools for editing and applying point clouds:
Importing point clouds - This feature allows you to import point clouds from various file formats such as .rcp or .rcs created by registration programs such as Faro Scene.
Crop, filter, and optimize. You can hide areas that are irrelevant to the current design and reduce the point cloud to the relevant part of the design.
Cliff Tool - This tool allows you to specify a boundary within which you want to display the point cloud. This is useful if you only want to edit a specific section of the point cloud.
Direct modeling inside point clouds - The ability to construct in the point cloud allows for direct modeling of elements based on the point cloud data.
Point Cloud Projection - This feature allows you to project points or regions of the point cloud onto a surface or model. This enables drawing and sketching based on the point cloud data.
Data integration - Inventor allows you to integrate point cloud data into conventional CAD models to create realistic and highly accurate representations of your designs.
Point cloud display - You can choose how the point cloud is displayed depending on your requirements, e.g. as points, outlines or areas.
In summary, the ability to leverage point clouds in Autodesk Inventor offers significant value to mechanical and plant engineering companies. By combining real, accurate data with powerful 3D modeling and simulation tools, they can significantly improve their designs and create better, more efficient, and more realistic products and systems.
