Autodesk software speeds nanotech research development at Brookhaven National Laboratory

July 30, 2010 By Laura Carrabine Leave a Comment

Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) named Brookhaven National Laboratory (Brookhaven Lab) — a national research laboratory overseen by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy — as the Autodesk Inventor of the Month for July in recognition of its innovative nanotechnology equipment.

Brookhaven Lab is the current home of the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS), one of the world’s most widely used scientific user research facilities. Each year, thousands of researchers use the facility’s bright beams of X-ray, ultraviolet and infrared light while conducting research in such diverse fields as biology, medicine, chemistry, environmental sciences, physics, and materials science.

Brookhaven Lab is building NSLS-II, an electron storage ring designed to produce X-rays more than 10,000 times brighter than the current NSLS. Nearly 900 feet in diameter, the NSLS-II will enable scientists to focus on important scientific challenges at the nanoscale level, such as generating new types of materials to harvest solar energy or developing high-temperature superconductors to transmit electricity more efficiently.

Brookhaven Lab mechanical designers, engineers, and scientists are relying on Autodesk Inventor software from authorized Autodesk system integrator Widom Associates to design and digitally prototype the complex NSLS-II equipment.

“There’s so much information we can get from a digital prototype created in Inventor software,” said Mike Loftus, supervisor of the mechanical design group for the NSLS-II project at Brookhaven Lab. “Inventor helps us select different materials, perform analysis and truly visualize our designs of the NSLS-II.”

Brookhaven Lab keeps track of its designs using Autodesk Vault Manufacturing software and uses Autodesk Navisworks software to share project models with Torcon, the general contractor charged with building the facility that will house the various NSLS-II components. The enhanced communication helps Brookhaven Lab and Torcon collaborate effectively while ensuring that construction of the NSLS-II remains on schedule.

Replace Face and Move Face in Inventor

April 23, 2009 By Matt Lombard Leave a Comment

In Inventor, I use a lofted surface to replace a face of a solid, and then extend the solid with the Move Face command, stretching the area of the lofted surface.

Shrinkwrap Add-in for Inventor Available on Autodesk Labs!

September 15, 2008 By 3DCAD Editor Leave a Comment

Shrinkwrap Add-in for Inventor enables users to quickly create a single part by removing all internal content from an assembly. New Shrinkwrap parts can be delivered with confidence to external consumers because the internal details can’t be uncovered. Users’ proprietary design information will stay confidential. Also, a Shrinkwrap part consumes substantially less memory compared to the fully detailed assembly.
