What's New
Discover new features and enhancements.
Get Started
New to Inspire Studio? Learn the basics here.
Tutorials
Start using Inspire Studio with our interactive tutorials.
Sketching
Create and edit a 2D sketch curve. A sketch curve is any "wire" entity such as a line, rectangle, circle, or arc.
Curves
Create and edit 3D curves by extending, rebuilding, intersecting, splitting, and projecting the shapes.
Surfaces
Create and edit 3D surfaces and solids by creating primitives or editing existing curves and surfaces.
PolyNURBS
Create polygonal surfaces that can easily be converted into NURBS surfaces.
Modify
Create new objects by manipulating and modifying source objects.
Direct
Quickly modify objects that are not a part of Construction History.
Deform
Deform one or more objects with respect to an axis.
Analysis
Analyze curves and surfaces, import simulation data, or access the Design Table and Variable Manager.
Dimensions
Dimension a line, edge, bounding box, angle, and radius/diameter in order to create objects which must fit predefined dimensions.
Drawing
Create detailed 2D drawings of the selected parts of a complex 3D model from multiple perspectives.
Rendering
Adjust the materials, environment, and properties of objects in the scene to create a photorealistic image.
Animation
In Inspire Studio you can animate an object or group and the camera. There are two methods of animation: key frame animation and path animation.
Die Design
Create a draw die in Inspire Studio that you can export to Inspire Form to perform a stamping simulation.
- Change the User Profile
  Customize the tools available in the product. Choose from Full, Studio, Render, and Stamping Die Design.
- Configure the View
  The following custom die design camera views are available: top, front, or right.
- Part
  First define the part and then adjust the draw direction to create a draw die.
- Binder
  Define one or more binders for the draw die. You can either assign an existing surface as a binder or create a flat from a new surface.
- Addendum Loft
  Create one or more surfaces that extend from the part to the binder, to aid in stretching and forming.
  - Loft
    Create one or more surfaces that extend from the part to the binder, to aid in stretching and forming.
  - Bridge
    Create a bridge between two to fill a gap in the loft surfaces.
- Addendum Extend
  Create one or more surfaces that extend from the part to the binder, to aid in stretching and forming. These tools allow for more control over surfaces.
- Die
  Trim the binder and add a round to finalize the draw die. Create a matching die by offset.
- Drawbead
  Define a bead line and create a drawbead from it.
- Export to Exchange
  Export selected objects to a common folder used to exchange data with other Altair products. For example, you can export a die design from Inspire Studio to Inspire Form to perform a stamping simulation.
Custom Plug-ins and Scripts
You can use C++ and Python to add custom operations and file formats.
Keyboard Shortcuts and Mouse Controls
Learn keyboard shortcuts and mouse controls for common operations.
SpaceMouse Support
Inspire Studio supports 3Dconnexion's SpaceMouse.
