Create and simulate factory layouts using Factory Design Utilities and ProModel


Course overview

This course will demonstrate the development of 2D and 3D factory layouts using Autodesk Factory Design Utilities and how the performance of proposed facilities can be evaluated using ProModel. Beginning in AutoCAD, you will utilize the 2D representation and/or PointCloud of the existing facility and begin to develop the machinery layout using the Factory Asset Library previously developed in Inventor. Iterations of the proposed operations layouts can be synced to ProModel to evaluate the performance of production cycles.  

Upon completion, you will be able to:

  • Develop a 2D factory layout using AutoCAD with Factory Design Utilities 
  • Automatically sync to Inventor to obtain a 3D representation of the facility layout
  • Create a production simulation using ProModel 
  • Analyze performance results and implement layout improvements 

  Before you start 

  • Please make sure you have the AutoCAD, Inventor, Factory Design Utilities, and ProModel software loaded.
  • If you have technical difficulties, please reach out to product support.
