ACP Inventor 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What Inventor file format stores a multi-component assembly?
- .ipt
- .iam (Correct answer)
- .idw
- .ipn
Correct answer: .iam
Inventor Assembly files use the .iam extension and reference individual part (.ipt) and sub-assembly files.
Question 2: Which Inventor feature removes material by projecting a profile through a solid?
- Extrude (Cut) (Correct answer)
- Shell
- Chamfer
- Draft
Correct answer: Extrude (Cut)
The Extrude feature with the Cut operation removes material along the extrusion direction.
Question 3: In Inventor, what is the purpose of the Shell feature?
- Apply texture to a surface
- Hollow out a solid with a specified wall thickness (Correct answer)
- Create a thin-walled extrusion
- Offset a surface
Correct answer: Hollow out a solid with a specified wall thickness
The Shell feature hollows a solid body, leaving walls of a uniform specified thickness.
Question 4: Which Inventor tool is used to create a parametric table-driven part with multiple configurations?
- iMate
- iPart (Correct answer)
- iAssembly
- iLogic
Correct answer: iPart
iParts create a table of configurations where each row defines a variation of the part with different parameter values.
Question 5: In Inventor drawings (.idw), what view type automatically slices through a part to reveal interior geometry?
- Auxiliary view
- Section view (Correct answer)
- Break view
- Detail view
Correct answer: Section view
A Section View cuts through the model with a cutting plane to expose internal features in a drawing.
Question 6: What does the Inventor Stress Analysis (FEA) environment allow engineers to do?
- Generate toolpaths
- Simulate physical loads and evaluate part strength (Correct answer)
- Create exploded views
- Check for assembly interference
Correct answer: Simulate physical loads and evaluate part strength
The Stress Analysis environment applies loads and constraints to run finite element analysis, showing stress, displacement, and safety factors.
