Features

Virtually infinite computing power

Perform complex calculations and reduce solve time.

Access virtually unlimited computational speed and power. Continue designing while results are processed, reducing time spent on design iterations.

Cloud-based parametric optimization

Efficiently build and run iterations of your design based on specified ranges of values.

Specify sets of alternate dimensional values and multiple iterations that are solved in parallel. Automatically sort versions to show design criteria and get reports on the results.

Job status viewer

View each iteration as well as the current progress of each of those versions.

Users can exit Inventor and even the machine itself while processing continues in the cloud. Jobs are still processed and the solver is still running regardless of the status of the local machine.
