Integrated BIM tools, including Revit, AutoCAD, and Civil 3D
& Manufacturing

Professional CAD/CAM tools built on Inventor and AutoCAD
Cut back on production time and cost using Fusion simulation tools. Improve the iterative process by quantifying design changes against simulations.
Validation is the foundation of engineering design. With simulation, you can test, validate, and modify designs before they become a physical prototype. When used early, simulation can drive design, making informed design decisions, speeding up production time, and eliminating costly design mistakes. Explore static stress simulation, shape optimization, thermal, and other mechanical simulation types to apply these tools to everyday design problems.

Setup, solve, and understand surrounding static stress simulations.
Module outline
Setup, solve, and understand surrounding static stress simulations Start with the basics and move to more advanced tools, such as bolted connections. We’ll then walk through how to prepare and process a static simulation.
After completing this module, you’ll be able to:
Identify critical load paths in a design to make more informed decisions on material removal.
Module outline
Review shape optimization simulation study type to explore load paths in designs. Identify critical load paths in a design to make more informed decisions on material removal.
After completing this module, you’ll be able to:
Learn about nonlinear response, structural buckling, and modal frequencies.
Module outline
Learn about nonlinear response, structural buckling, and modal frequencies. These study types give greater insight into structural and mechanical problems associated with a wide variety of designs. Explore various aspects of our gear reduction assembly and other examples suited for these types of simulations.
After completing this module, you’ll be able to:
Explore and compare the effects of thermal and thermal stresses on designs.
Module outline
Explore and compare the effects of thermal and thermal stresses on designs. Temperature and heat can be a major factor in the failure of a design, so exploring a design’s performance can lead to better informed design decisions. We’ll also look at event simulation and how a design performs when subject to motion and how it responds to an impact.
After completing this module, you’ll be able to:
