Hello everyone, I am new to the forum!
I would like to kindly ask you your opinion on how much I write. . .
my company, after leaving for a few years, is returning to the field of the automotive and with this it needs to renew the instrument of the technical office, that is the cad of three-dimensional design.
from 2005 for various projects, until today, it has been used inventor 9... simple and unsophisticated program to parer mio, but I don't think I can manage and import files from another company that will join us in the work!

Recently we have seen presentations of both inventor 2010 and solidworks, and I must say that they are now at the same level, although I must say that inventor is always the most intuitive one in use.
I know also of solid edge, because I used it until last year in another firm, and I know of the advantage of the sicrona modeling, very advantageous also for imported solids.
everything is summed up in two choices to do:
opt for inventor, and thus have the possibility to carry out not only "new" projects but also to update those carried forward until now with inventor 9 (and have, since 2011, a sort of synchronous modeling even better than if)

or

opt for solidworks, and cut so with the past (but still using the inventor 9 licenses in which case changes were made to old projects) but be sure to use a child cat tool and surely able to communicate better with files produced by the automotive environment? (I didn't have any feedback about the presence of a "synthesis" 3d creation environment)

I'm not talking about prices because both houses are equal, so it's not discriminating.

excuse the great amount of text :rolleyes: but I wanted to give a clear idea of the situation in such a way as to have, I hope, also your opinion, especially the opinion of those who work like me in prototyping and can always have an extra idea to propose.

Good evening:

a question: Do you need to interchange files with customers/suppliers? in the automotive sector could be a discriminating...
 
Thanks for the hunter's interest, I thought you were just hanging out in that solid edge (and a little I miss that program.. .at least until 20:wink:)
I have to admit that I've been reading the forum for a while...:redface:

it will be, I think, to exchange files that from time to time and hand in hand will be modified. They will also go, piece by piece, to form what is the general axieme. the whole seems to coincide taking into account only one point 0 of reference as a general reference coordinate.
for the data exchange was mentioned step, version 203 or 215 (it seems to me to remember) but the possibility of receiving directly files from catia or similar was not excluded.
both the technician and the autodesk representative confirmed me full compatibility with these and other formats. . .

edit
Um...
Now that I read well, what you want to ask me is other: our customers and suppliers generally receive a step if they are vacuum plastic forms, for other things we talk about dwg or pdf of the same, nothing more. this "new" horizon for us considers only the phase of design, and not of actual production, or at least not in the first period.
 
mhhhh, if the data exchange activity is frequent, I suggest you take the same cad of your interlocutor, even to me occasionally send iges files of catia and there is to cry every time....
 
with inventor I have occasion to treat mathematical step and iges and I assure you that every time I get warmed up.
My maths weigh 30/50 mb.
I often support those who prepare them using rhino, otherwise I wouldn't leave.
take into account that I can afford to have approximate mathematicians ", as over 90% of each machine is "solid" mechanics and the rest, what touches the surface, is prepared by me and finished with the original math or filtered by rhino.
when working with the automotive, often, they force you to treat only the original mathematics.
if they give you caty files do not accept that these are treated with other cad 3d.

Bye.
