Transcript
00:03
Assemblies are a part of virtually every product design, ranging from simple to complex.
00:09
Companies rely on assembly modeling to make sure that the products they manufacture work as planned in the design phase.
00:16
You must know that the design you create will stay together and move the way that you want it to.
00:22
This requires the ability to control connections between the parts of your design.
00:27
In Fusion, an assembly model is a collection of parts and subassemblies that function as a single unit.
00:34
Parts and subassemblies are connected by assembly relationships.
00:39
Since there is no special file type for assemblies, each Fusion design can be a single part with only bodies,
00:46
an assembly with joint components, or a mix of the two.
00:50
It is important to learn the concepts of assembly modeling, fundamental tools,
00:55
and the extended capabilities of the assembly modeling workspace in Fusion.
01:00
By employing best practices for assembly modeling in Fusion,
01:04
you will gain experience using assembly modeling tools that will help you to create and analyze your own designs.
01:11
To create assemblies in Fusion, you will need to be able to do several things:
01:15
Manage the structure of the design using components.
01:19
Connect components together to replicate the real-world model.
01:23
Test mechanisms to see the effects of their actuation on the individual components.
01:29
Use advanced control of joints.
01:32
Apply connections between joints to model complex mechanisms.
