A single package that covers the entire workflow from product design to manufacturing.

Autodesk has released an updated version of its Product Design & Manufacturing Collection in Korea, enabling companies to address the entire workflow, from product design to simulation, manufacturing, and production planning, all within a single package. The most significant feature of this single package is the addition of the latest version of Inventor 2019 and the manufacturing-specific Nesting Utility 2019.

Inventor 2019
Autodesk's ongoing efforts to improve performance, automation, and core modeling workflows are condensed into Inventor 2019. The new release also enables collaboration through connectivity to the Autodesk Cloud, connecting design and supply chain users to their workflows.

Jeong Jong-ho, Managing Director of Autodesk Korea's Manufacturing Business Division, said, "Autodesk collects and incorporates feedback from thousands of customers around the world when updating Inventor. Based on this feedback, we improved over 100 features and enhanced performance last year alone. Inventor 2019 will help customers get their products to market faster than ever before."

Nastran In-CAD 2019
Nastran allows engineers to examine the effects of transient load buckling, thermal stress, and fatigue on their designs. This Nastran InCAD 2019 release opens up possibilities for automation and multiphysics simulation, and provides the flexibility to perform advanced pre- and post-processing in different environments.

Furthermore, integration with iLogic extends rule-based design to simulation. This enables automation of material creation, idealization, meshing, boundary condition application, solving, and result display. Nastran InCAD 2019 also integrates with CFD and Moldflow to provide deeper insights across a variety of domains.

Nesting Utility 2019
Nesting Utility 2019 is a new addition to this Product Design and Manufacturing Collection. It allows users to create sheet metal design sheets within Inventor and then optimize nesting patterns to reduce manufacturing costs.

Nest creates parts and assemblies using a variety of material types and thicknesses, helping users optimize material usage when cutting flat raw materials. Nested sheets are linked to sheet metal part/assembly design sheets, making it easy to update nested sheets when design changes occur.

Nest can also be incorporated into the manufacturing process. Using Inventor HSM or other CAM software, you can automatically generate 3D models or export them as DXF™ files for use in toolpath generation. You can also review detailed nesting efficiency reports, including remaining raw materials, total costs, and machining times.

Factory Design Utilities 2019
The Factory Design Utility helps you design factory layouts and optimize machine and equipment placement to improve productivity and performance. With the release of Factory Design Utility 2019, users can more easily manage factory assets by working within iLogic. Features include providing asset parameters, quickly inserting asset groups into layouts, creating assets that can be linked directly from AutoCAD, and learning how to use the new Factory Design tutorial.

Meanwhile, details on the newly updated Product Design and Manufacturing Collection can be found on the Autodesk Korea website (www.autodesk.co.kr), and the collection and Inventor 2019 can be downloaded from your Autodesk account and the Autodesk desktop app.
