ASCENT Center for Technical Knowledge Releases Three Updated Training Guides for Autodesk ® Software
RAND Worldwide announced that its courseware division, ASCENT– Center for Technical Knowledge ®, released updated Autodesk ® Training Guides:
• Autodesk ® 3ds Max ® Design 2010 Fundamentals
• AutoCAD ® Architecture 2010 Fundamentals
• Autodesk ® Inventor ® 2010 Advanced Assembly Modeling
ASCENT’s Autodesk 3ds Max Design 2010 Fundamentals training guide provides a thorough introduction to Autodesk 3ds Max Design that will help new users make the most of this sophisticated design application, as well as broaden the horizons of existing, self-taught users. With the release of 2010 the new Graphite Modeling ribbon has been incorporated into the training guide.
AutoCAD Architecture 2010 Fundamentals focuses on the design development and construction documentation features of AutoCAD Architecture—the basic tools that the majority of students need in their work. The objective of the training guide is to enable students to work from first concept (conceptual design or mass model) all the way through to design development using the new interface and ribbon features of AutoCAD Architecture 2010.
Building on the skills acquired in the Inventor Introduction to Solid Modeling and Inventor Advanced Part Modeling, Inventor 2010 Advanced Assembly Modeling is designed to take students to a higher level of productivity. The training guide concentrates on the TopDown Design approach for assembly creation and other advanced assembly features aimed at increasing design efficiency. Specifically, this updated training guide teaches the new MultiBody and Layout
Design functionality used for TopDown Design.
“Our expert team of courseware developers is dedicated to assisting our clients in fully leveraging their application’s capabilities,” said Joe Oswald, Executive VicePresident PLM Operations, RAND Worldwide. “With the release of Inventor 2010 Advanced Assembly Modeling, we have identified the importance of the new TopDown Design workflow and have incorporated the new tools to help users realize the efficiency to be gained with this functionality.”
ASCENT is an Authorized Author, Publisher, and Developer of Autodesk ® curriculum. All of the courses authored by ASCENT for Autodesk software are available to educational institutions, individuals, and corporations.
ASCENT will also be releasing Revit Architecture 2010 Intermediate later this month. To see the company’s complete courseware lineup for Autodesk, Dassault Systèmes, and PTC software solutions, please visit http://www.ASCENTed.com.
