doubts about the passage design 2d mechanical 3d

[Davide_9_1]

Good evening, everyone!
I am 27 years old and I am a planter/instrumentalist in the field of oil&gas design.
I'm looking into the job market after a year of experience abroad.
in recent years I have worked a lot on autocad 2d in technical studies.
I recently did a 2014 3d autocad course to update me a bit and to complete my software knowledge.
By doing a thorough research on the web I realized the so much demand of 3d mechanical designers, which is making me consider very much the idea of taking this road (if in the piping section even better), all expanded by my attraction in the three-dimensional design.
I would like to feel your opinion based on your experience, on which could be a better approach to start and succeed in "thinking" as such? ? premise that I do not have many basics of mechanics (I would like to undergo degree program given my no younger age).
benefiting me by learning to use a software from the power of inventor (I have a free license as a student) could be an initial advantage or recommended before some theoretical study on mechanics or mechanical design?
would you recommend me some books or some simplified manuals of mechanics for neophytes?
Thank you for your attention
I wish everyone a good weekend!

Hello, David,

definitely learn a parametric sw 3d (inventor goes more than well to purpose) would benefit you. if you are currently unemployed you can search around some free course organized for example from the region, basically to learn the basics of modeling a software is worth the other, and in the meantime you study and deepen your inventor (in the network of tutorials you find many).
I recommend a book of mechanics from a technical institute (e.g. from the design to the product, the paravia), and maybe invest some money in a manual drawing (vademecum for designers and technicians, of the hoepli), the latter does not have the purpose of teaching, but it is a useful tool to understand to what tables

Hello, venez!
Thank you very much for the answer!:smile:
I'm going to go through a crossroads with two things in the same step! I've seen some reviews about the book you recommended and I think I'll opt for that, I'm sure the designer's manual is good to have it.

Hi.
I just pulled off the pro-e piping module and it looks like a good item. try to search for information on the network or on the website of the ptc.
of course working in 3d environment is not minimally comparable to the old two-dimensional method,
regardless of the cad used.
