Up and Running with Autodesk Inventor Simulation 2011: A Step-by-Step Guide to Engineering Design Solutions
Up and Running with Autodesk Inventor Simulation 2011 provides a clear path to perfecting the skills of designers and engineers using simulation inside Autodesk Inventor. This book includes modal analysis, stress singularities, and H-P convergence, in addition to the new frame analysis functionality. The book is divided into three dynamic solution, stress analysis, and frame analysis, with a total of nineteen chapters. The first chapter of each section offers an overview of the topic covered in that section. There is also an overview of the Inventor Simulation interface and its strengths, weaknesses, and workarounds. Furthermore, the book emphasizes the joint creation process and discusses in detail the unique and powerful parametric optimization function. This book will be a useful learning tool for designers and engineers, and a source for applying simulation for faster production of better products.

Can you put a round peg in a square hole? (a tad dated but worth the read)
Answer: if you have a big enough penknife or Autodesk inventor simulation.
I have used AutoCAD and other products to design prototypes and finish IV pumps and flexible drills. I was aware of the Autodesk inventor simulation but never tried it personally. So, this book is my first foray into the field. So far, I am incredibly happy with the results and wonder why I have not tried this earlier. The book itself is well-designed and can be used in the classroom. However, for now, I am plowing through it by myself. The first thing I noticed was there was no disk or should we say CD. Then I realized that all the best information was online, and this book helps you to use that information. My first attempts to locate the information needed to bring me to a lot of advertisements and offers. But soon I was able to locate the right information and hit the deck running. The book itself is well-designed and matches the windows of the product. There are lots of colors, and lots of examples of complex buildings as you go through it. Many of the properties that you had to slow down and put in AutoCAD the hard way are easy to instill in your simulation projects. I am not sure yet if simulations can be included in patents.
Aside from being a great reference book, I would suggest this is a perfect starting point for anybody wanting to know Autodesk's inventor. The book is comprehensive enough that you do not need to go AutoCAD first.
