Fusion is an integrated design and development tool.
00:06
Meaning you can focus on the product from design
00:09
development
00:11
and manufacture all in one piece of software giving
00:14
you a more efficient and flexible product development process.
00:18
The workspaces are always accessible from the workspace,
00:20
drop down menu on the toolbar and include design generative and manufacturing
00:25
each with their own respective toolbar.
00:27
Meaning you only have the tools you need to work with.
00:31
The design workspace is where you first start.
00:33
And here we can create sketch features,
00:35
parametric modeling, service modeling and sculpting
00:38
and assembly joints and motion links to name a few.
00:42
Here I am creating the first body for an
00:44
amateur using sketch features and solid modeling techniques which will
00:47
then be used as a basis for other components to
00:48
be designed around using the top down modeling approach.
00:52
You will see sketches bodies components
00:55
and the assembly structure are captured in the
00:57
browser and are features captured in the timeline.
00:59
Meaning we can easily revert to any features.
01:01
Should we need to quickly make any desired changes?
01:05
I can use this approach to building our design with other bodies and components,
01:08
add appearances
01:10
as well as creating assembly joints and motion studies
01:12
that will form our component and final product.
01:16
Once we have our design,
01:17
we could then head into the renderer workspace to
01:19
create and share photorealistic renders with key stakeholders.
01:24
Notice how the toolbar has changed to only reflect
01:26
the tools you need in this respective workspace.
01:32
Here, you can apply netted materials,
01:36
set your scene,
01:37
apply
01:38
decals amongst others and use cloud rendering service to generate your renders.
01:46
These designs are available in your render gallery at the bottom of your screen,
01:48
meaning they're always accessible.
01:52
Of course,
01:52
we can always quickly jump back into the design workspace to make
01:55
any necessary amendments based on feedback
01:57
before regenerating our render or waiting.
01:59
Sign off
02:01
with the concept signed off.
02:03
We can now head into the simulation workspace to
02:05
analyze our part under real world operating conditions.
02:11
We can generate any number of studies including static stress, nonlinear,
02:14
static stress event simulation
02:17
and structural buckling. To name a few,
02:19
you can run simulations on individual components
02:23
or even multiple tasks by using a simplified workspace.
02:26
Meaning you have full control over your fe a studies.
02:29
In our case, we're happy with the results so we can look to manufacture our parts
02:34
fusion has an integrated C A workspace,
02:36
meaning you can process your design path
02:38
for manufacture using a virtual simulation tool.
02:40
For example,
02:41
define your tool path detecting the
02:43
resolve collisions and calculating machine time.
02:47
The manufacturer workspace also lets you utilize multi access CNC machines,
02:50
turning operations or two D operations such as laser or water jet cutting
02:56
to time.
02:57
With this,
02:57
the drawing workspace lets you generate
02:59
two D engineering drawings for manufacture.
03:01
He can create details such as projective views,
03:04
section views and a bit of materials.
03:06
And your latest drawings will be accessible in the
03:07
data panel giving you quick and easy access.
03:11
Your parts are now ready for manufacture so we can head into
03:13
the animation workspace to create an assembly procedure for our suppliers.
03:19
The animation workspace is where you can communicate
03:21
multiple assembly designs via an animated exploded view,
03:24
an assembly process or to provide instructions to collaborators,
03:28
stakeholders and customers.
03:30
You can specify the camera movement and component transformation using
03:33
the animation timeline at the bottom of the canvas.
03:36
Then once ready export the video format to share with key stakeholders
03:42
last but certainly not least generative design is
03:45
another key differentiator between fusion and solid works.
03:49
Generative design.
03:50
Lets you explore a multitude of varying
03:52
design solutions help make seemingly impossible designs possible
03:55
and optimize production based on
03:57
available material and manufacturing capabilities.
04:01
Fusion generative capabilities build directly into the
04:03
software via the drop down menu.
04:05
Giving you the opportunity to utilize this emerging
04:07
technology alongside your existing and future design solutions.
