Autodesk Inventor Professional 2009 32 and 64 bit

Autodesk® Inventor® Professional software is the foundation for Digital Prototyping, producing an accurate 3D model that validates the form, fit, and function of a design before it is built.

The Autodesk Inventor product line provides an integrated set of tools for 3D mechanical design and documentation, creating routed systems, and digitally validating design data to minimize the need for physical prototypes. Product bundles include AutoCAD® Mechanical for associative 2D and 3D collaboration and data management software to manage and track all the design components of a digital prototype.

Autodesk® Inventor® Professional software includes all the extended routed systems design and simulation features with the core functionality of Autodesk Inventor Suite.

Experience the benefits of Digital Prototyping while protecting investments in existing 2D designs and AutoCAD expertise.
Only Inventor provides DWG TrueConnect, delivering the industry’s leading integration of 2D and 3D design, allowing engineers to reuse valuable 2D DWG files to build accurate 3D part models that form the basis of a digital prototype and share insights gained from the digital prototype with partners and suppliers that rely on AutoCAD software.
Spend more time innovating designs and less time solving geometry modeling problems.
With Autodesk Inventor, engineers spend less time constructing geometric models and more time on innovating designs by rapidly building and refining digital prototypes that validate design functions and catch errors before they reach manufacturing.
Easily generate and share production-ready drawings with manufacturing teams and outside suppliers
Autodesk Inventor includes comprehensive tools to generate engineering and manufacturing documentation from the digital prototype that help design teams reduce errors and deliver the design in less time. Leveraging the experience gained from Autodesk’s success with AutoCAD software, Autodesk Inventor takes the production of manufacturing documentation to the next level of productivity
Securely manage, share, and reuse engineering design data—even from other CAD systems.
Autodesk Inventor provides integrated data management tools that enable design workgroups to manage and track all the design components of a digital prototype— including 3D data originating from other CAD systems—to better reuse critical design data, manage bills of materials, and promote earlier collaboration with manufacturing teams and clients.
Optimize and validate product performance by simulating how the design will work under real-world conditions before the product is ever built.
Easy-to-use and tightly integrated motion simulation and stress analysis in the Inventor product line make it possible for any engineer to optimize and validate a digital prototype and predict how the design will work under real-world conditions before the product is ever built.
Streamline the design of complex routed systems
The Autodesk Inventor product line includes automated tools for designing routed systems, including complex tube and pipe runs, and electrical cable and harness design, enabling engineers to create and validate a more complete digital prototype that helps reduce errors prior to manufacturing and get to market faster.

Recommended System Requirements

The following requirements are recommended for effective use of Autodesk® Inventor® 2009 software for general part and assembly design, typically fewer than 1,000 parts.

Operating System (1,2,3)
- Windows Vista® Home Basic

- Windows Vista® Enterprise
- Windows Vista® Ultimate
- Windows® XP Professional (SP2)
- Windows® XP Professional x64 Edition (SP2)

Processor (4)
- Intel® Pentium® 4
- AMD Athlon® 64
- AMD Opteron® or later (2 GHz or compatible)

Minimum System Requirements (<1,000 Parts)
- 1 GB RAM (5)
- Direct3D 10, Direct3D 9, or OpenGL-capable graphics card, 128 MB (6,7)
- 3.5 GB free hard disk space for installation (8)
- DVD-ROM drive (9)
- Microsoft Mouse-compliant pointing device
- 1,280 x 1,024 screen resolution
- Internet connection for web downloads and Subscription-aware access

Additional System Requirements (>1,000 Parts)

(1) For installations of Inventor 2009 with single-user local Content Center and Autodesk Vault 2009 access. Please see the Autodesk Data Management system requirements for remote server installations for sharing Content Center and Vault data among multiple users.

(2) Inventor 2009 and AutoCAD® Mechanical 2009 applications are provided both as 32-bit and 64-bit applications for installation and use on the corresponding operating system only. Autodesk Vault 2009 is a 32-bit application for installation and use on either a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system. The 32-bit and 64-bit versions of these applications are all included in the same package.

(3) Autodesk Inventor/AutoCAD Mechanical design applications and Autodesk Vault must all be the same language on a given computer. English versions of these applications will run on any language operating system. Other language versions of these applications will run on operating systems of that same language.

(4) Inventor 2009 has been optimized to take advantage of the SSE2 extended instruction sets supported on Pentium 4, AMD Athlon 64, and AMD Opteron processors. Inventor 2009 will not install on computers that do not support SSE2. Several utilities are available on the internet that report CPUID including supported instructions sets.

(5) Autodesk recommends settings that allow Microsoft Windows to manage virtual memory, as needed. There should always be at least twice as much free hard disk space as system memory (RAM).

(6) Please refer to the Autodesk published graphics card information.

(7) OpenGL graphics hardware acceleration is available only in legacy feature support mode by Microsoft for Windows XP Professional only.

(8) Required if installing from DVD media. Electronic download methods may be available in some situations and require additional hard drive space to store the downloaded files prior to installation. File sizes are indicated at time of download, and overall hard disk space requirements are based on the selected files and products being downloaded. These files can be deleted after installation.

(9) Inventor 2009 is available on DVD media or, in some situations, via electronic download. (CD media is no longer available.) DVD-ROM drive is not required if installing downloaded software.

Education Requirements

For Autodesk Inventor 2009 for basic educational purposes and for small assembly designs, the minimum system requirements are 512 MB of RAM and 1.5 GB of available hard disk space. You will need an additional 1.8 GB of hard disk space to install Content Center; this tool can be installed either on a local workstation or on a centralized server for access by multiple users.
