What Inventor file format stores a multi-component assembly?
Answer: .iam
Inventor Assembly files use the .iam extension and reference individual part (.ipt) and sub-assembly files.
Which Inventor feature removes material by projecting a profile through a solid?
Answer: Extrude (Cut)
The Extrude feature with the Cut operation removes material along the extrusion direction.
In Inventor, what is the purpose of the Shell feature?
Answer: Hollow out a solid with a specified wall thickness
The Shell feature hollows a solid body, leaving walls of a uniform specified thickness.
Which Inventor tool is used to create a parametric table-driven part with multiple configurations?
Answer: iPart
iParts create a table of configurations where each row defines a variation of the part with different parameter values.
In Inventor drawings (.idw), what view type automatically slices through a part to reveal interior geometry?
Answer: Section view
A Section View cuts through the model with a cutting plane to expose internal features in a drawing.
What does the Inventor Stress Analysis (FEA) environment allow engineers to do?
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.
