Exploring Advanced CAD Techniques for Better Designs

I’ve been working on optimizing a thermal management system in a recent project, and it led me to consider how advanced CAD techniques can enhance design efficiency. Have any of you taken courses that focus specifically on parametric design or simulation using tools like Autodesk Inventor? I’d love to hear your experiences or recommendations.

I’ve been stuck on that thermal management optimization too; it really drives me nuts! Taking a course on parametric design in Autodesk Inventor helped me a lot; I found @CADGuru’s recommendations super useful for getting deeper into simulations. Have you looked into any specific courses, or are you just exploring options?
