I got an email from Wasim Younis on Wednesday. He and I had previously corresponded when he provided feedback on the Advanced Simulation Technology Preview when it was on Autodesk Labs. That was long ago. Right now on Labs for Inventor users we have:

	2D to 3D Tool for Inventor convert 2D data to 3D models
	3D Annotation for Inventor markup your 3d models
	3D/2D ShareNow Add-in for AutoCAD, Inventor, Revit, and Design Review share
	BIM Family Toolkit share parametric family information from Inventor to Revi
	Feature Recognition for Inventor convert STEP, SAT, or IGES solids to Invent
	Inventor Fusion Technology Preview unite direct and parametric workflows
	Mesh Enabler for Inventor work with imported meshes in Inventor
	Project Photofly 2.0 create models from photographs
	Plugin of the Month utilities from ADN members including source code
	Project Twitch Application Trials trial applications instantly
	Rhino Import Translator Add-in for Inventor directly import Rhino files into

Wasim recently completed two books on simulation for Inventor users.

You can download data sets referenced in this book from Yousim's blog - Virtual Reality. There is also a Linked In forum dedicated to supporting the readers of the book and simulation users in general: Up and Running with Autodesk Inventor Simulation.

Thinkig about what's available for an Inventor user is alive in the lab.
