Accelerated Productivity: Assemblies and Advanced Concepts is an Autodesk Inventor 11 Certified course designed to quickly build professional Inventor skills. It’s different than any book you’ve ever used, because there is no text. Step-by-Step instruction is presented in short, fully animated movies that show and tell you how to become a professional solid modeler. This format combines the best aspects of a book and hands-on training. You see and hear the lessons, as if you have your own personal expert sitting with you at your computer. It’s also fully indexed so you can always find the information you need. Using a learn-by-seeing-and-practicing approach, users instantly know how to perform each task because they see it being performed by the instructor while he explains how it's done. Easily learn the fundamentals through advanced concepts simply by watching this course. Students, Faculty, Mechanical Design Professionals, and CAD administrators enjoy the dynamic flexibility of this course because it automatically tracks up to 10 users on a single workstation. Simply sign in and the course automatically opens to the last lesson viewed by the user. Users can easily view lessons from their history log, watch lessons from a large list of lessons, use the Memory Jogger to quickly find lessons by entering a keyword phrase, or watch the next lesson in the course. All study tracking is automatic, so the user can simply close the lesson player to end a study session. The next time the user opens the course the last lesson he or she viewed automatically begins playing. This course provides interactive instruction on assemblies, iPart & iAssembly Factories, iFeatures, iMates, and animations. Step-by-Step instruction also shows how to construct adaptive parts and assemblies, mirrored and copied assemblies, and flexible assemblies. It also includes many other assembly modeling techniques like setting up motion and transitional constraints, checking for collisions, using the Contact Solver, and generating parts with Design Accelerator. You’ll master the skills you need to create dynamic and highly functional assembly models.

Teaching Masterpiece,
By wannabe engineer (Melbourne, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Autodesk Inventor 11 Accelerated Productivity: Assemblies and Advanced Concepts, An Interactive Course for Autodesk Inventor 11 (CD-ROM)
This is a MASTERPIECE OF TEACHING something this complex in the easiest way possible!!! I had about 3 weeks to find a way to learn Inventor. I researched the author and found he was a certified Autodesk Inventor instructor for over 10 years and his course is certified by Autodesk, as confirmed on the Autodesk website. I also found these courses for Inventor 8, so I could see he had lots of experience creating the courses. After viewing the demo on the TEDCF website, I knew the technique would work, and I liked his presentation style. I purchased Autodesk Inventor 11 Accelerated Productivity: Solid Modeling, An Interactive Course for Autodesk Inventor 11, Autodesk Inventor 11 Accelerated Productivity: Assemblies and Advanced Concepts, An Interactive Course for Autodesk Inventor 11, Autodesk Inventor 11 Accelerated Productivity: 2D Drafting and Customization, An Interactive Course for Autodesk Inventor 11, and Accelerated Productivity 11: Sheet Metal Design--An Interactive Course for Autodesk Inventor 11. As recommended, I listened to all of the lessons, and took notes to keep track of the big picture. There were a number of areas I would not need, so I just listened enough to know whether or not I needed it for my project. Then I organized my project and started creating my models and saw my invention come to life. It was an exciting moment made entirely possible by David Melvin's masterpiece of teaching. I go back and refresh my learning all the time. The memory jogger will search for the concept in the lessons and take you right to it. I believe the proof in his teaching style, borne of hard work and experience, is that he taught someone outside the profession to create models in Inventor 11 is so short a time!!! If you don't know how Inventor works, the program will not let you do anything. The only error messages I received were simple and easy to fix, because David Melvin taught me the big picture, and I designed my models using his experience to guide me. My only formal training is an engineering drafting course at University of Florida in 1965. Later, I changed my major from engineering to accounting, and am an auditor/CPA. David's straight talk on concept after concept makes it possible to focus all your energy on learning Inventor in a very short time. I will always be grateful to David Melvin for producing these courses and teaching me something I'll enjoy using the rest of my life.
