Clone loads and load cases

Clone loads and load cases.

00:06

In this video, we will clone a simulation study, clone a simulation load case and clone a load.

00:13

In Fusion 360, we want to carry on with our motorcycle rear set.

00:17

At this point, we've cloned a simulation model for frame mount only and now we have a modified geometry version of this.

00:24

Next I want to go back into frame mount only and I want to clone study 1 static stress.

00:31

The reason that we want to clone study 1 is because this information contains study materials as well as our load cases.

00:38

So by right clicking on study 1 and cloning the study we're going to bring all of those settings into study 2.

00:46

Study 2. I'm going to select and click again to rename it Study 2 and we're going to change materials.

00:56

Now that we have study 2 active and selected,

00:59

we're going to go into our materials for our study and instead of using aluminum 6061, we're going to try a higher strength aluminum.

01:07

So you'll notice at the beginning we have high strength aluminum but we can also scroll down and take a look at 7075 or some other version of 6061.

01:16

We're going to select 7075 for this example and now study 2 needs to be solved in order to have valid results that we can review,

01:25

but at this point, we've cloned a simulation model and that brought in all the study settings,

01:30

but we don't have that extra load case in that extra study in our frame mount mod.

01:36

One thing that we can do is we can go back into our frame mount mod and we can create that extra study by cloning it as well.

01:43

Because frame mount mod doesn't really need to explore a different material we're simply looking at the geometry change.

01:50

I might want to add additional load cases and I might want to explore loads applied to the lower two bolt holes.

01:56

In this case, I'm going to right click on load case 1 and I'm going to clone that load case.

02:01

We will activate it and then we'll modify the loads that are applied.

02:05

And in this case, we're going to change the targets from the upper two holes to the lower two holes.

02:11

This would represent somebody moving the foot peg bracket down and we want to see how the bracket is affected by this.

02:18

Now we have 2 load cases in our frame mount mod looking at the updated geometry and we have 2 studies in the original frame mount only.

02:28

In addition to cloning load cases, we can clone specific loads as well but we don't really need to go any farther,

02:36

because we already have the load cases, the constraints, the updated geometry and the different studies with different materials.

02:44

At this point, we want to make sure that we do save our designs before moving on.
