ŠAutoCAD Map 3D
AutoCAD Map 3D software provides direct access to data needed for infrastructure planning, design and
management activities. AutoCAD Map 3D software helps professionals working on transportation, land
development, water, and power projects to more easily create, manage and analyze design geographic
information system (“GIS”) and asset data.
MFG
Our MFG segment provides manufacturers in automotive and transportation, industrial machinery,
consumer products and building products with comprehensive digital prototyping solutions that brings together
design data from all phases of the product development process to develop a single digital model created in
Autodesk Inventor software. Our solutions for digital prototyping are scalable, attainable, cost-effective and
allow for real-world simulation, enabling a broad group of manufacturers to realize benefits with minimal
disruption to existing workflows. MFG’s principal product offerings included the following during fiscal 2011:
ŠAutodesk Inventor
Autodesk Inventor software allows manufacturers to go beyond 3D design to digital prototyping by giving
engineers a comprehensive and flexible set of tools for 3D mechanical design, simulation, analysis, tooling,
visualization and documentation. With Inventor software, engineers can integrate AutoCAD drawings and
model-based design data into a single digital model, creating a virtual representation of a final product that
enables them to validate the form, fit, and function of the product before it is ever built. Digital prototyping with
Inventor software enables manufacturers to design, visualize, and simulate products digitally, helping them to
build better products, reduce development costs, and get to market faster.
ŠAutoCAD Mechanical
AutoCAD Mechanical software is purpose-built to accelerate the mechanical design process. AutoCAD
Mechanical software offers users significant productivity gains and helps save hours of design time by including
all the functionality of AutoCAD software, plus comprehensive libraries of standards-based parts and tools for
automating common design tasks.
ŠAutodesk Moldflow
The Autodesk Moldflow family of injection molding simulation software provides tools that help
manufacturers optimize the design of plastic parts and injection molds, and study the injection molding process.
M&E
Our M&E segment is comprised of two product groups: Animation and Creative Finishing. Animation
products are sold as software only and provide tools for digital sculpting, modeling, animation, effects, rendering,
and compositing for design visualization, visual effects and games production. Creative Finishing products are
primarily sold as turnkey solutions for editing, finishing and visual effects design, and color grading. Principal
product offerings in our M&E segment’s Animation and Creative Finishing product groups included the
following during fiscal 2011:
Animation
ŠAutodesk 3ds Max
Autodesk 3ds Max software provides 3D modeling, animation and rendering solutions that enable game
developers, design visualization professionals and visual effects artists to digitally create realistic images,
animations and complex scenes and to digitally communicate abstract or complex mechanical, architectural,
engineering and construction concepts.
