For those of you that use or are planning to use the ECO material Adviser in Autodesk Inventor 2012, be aware that we are updating this add-in this week-end.
We have provided such updates in the past and I am sure you have seen this message after running ECO Materials Adviser the first time.
Until now, you could opt out of the update process.
The difference is that this new update is a MANDATORY update and this is clearly communicated in the following dialog which you will start seeing this week-end:
Even if you refuse to "Click here", we will still redirect you to the Granta resource center from which the update can be downloadedJ.
Tho other novelty is that the update is multi-language.
Let me explain why you should install this January 2012 update (version number v3.9.15.0).
1. Additional features and performance
In addition to general refinement and performance enhancement compared to the original version shipped with Autodesk Inventor 2012, the following specific features are provided in this update:
- Support for mapping your own custom Inventor material styles to suitable equivalents in the ECO Materials Adviser database.
- Updates to the information in the ECO Materials Adviser database itself.
2. Ability to upgrade to Full Version
If you want to upgrade to the full version and take advantage of all the following extra features, you'll first need to have installed this update:
- Analysis of Autodesk Inventor assemblies of any number of parts, removing the twenty-part limit of the base version.
- Substantially extended materials database, offering a choice of around 3,000 materials.
- Include transport and use phase details in eco impact analyses, thus considering all phases of the complete product lifecycle – raw materials, manufacture, transport, use, and disposal.
- Include the eco impact of surface finishing processes, in addition to the primary manufacturing processes supported in the base version.
3. Ensure continued operation and support
As part of the policy of on-going enhancement to ECO Materials Adviser, which can involve server as well as client changes, it's not possible to guarantee that superseded versions will continue to work.
Update now, and be sure of on-going access to the latest functionality!
Thanks
Bob
