Elevate your design and manufacturing processes with Autodesk Fusion
Check out these Autodesk University 2023 courses that focus on the new configurations feature in Autodesk Fusion.
Autodesk University 2023 is right around the corner, happening November 13-15 in Las Vegas, Nevada. You know what that means: it’s time to start packing your schedule with Fusion classes and special events.
Since its inception 10 years ago (that’s right, it’s a big year for us!), Autodesk Fusion has been committed to delivering the best cloud product development solution on the market. Did you know that over the past three years alone, Autodesk Fusion has delivered over 103 product updates and 652 new features and enhancements?
One of the most exciting new features to release in 2023 was configurations. Configurations in Autodesk Fusion provide an intelligent way to maximize the utility of your parametric designs. They enable you to create and manage multiple design variations from a single, unified model. The tool offers a streamlined approach to design optimization, risk mitigation, and cost efficiency.
There are a few events happening at Autodesk University 2023 focused on getting you acquainted with configurations. Explore the list below to find the right one for your needs.
Configure This: Transform Your Design to Make Workflow with Autodesk Fusion
Take a grand tour of the new configurations capabilities in Autodesk Fusion with members of the configurations team. Learn how configurations can help you save by reusing shared logic and tracking differences in key parameters for individual components or full assemblies. See how to extend beyond design to leverage configurations in the Drawing, Render, Animation, Simulation, Generative Design, and Manufacture workspaces without leaving Fusion.
Configurations Unleashed: Revolutionizing Consumer Product Design
This dynamic session will focus on the strategic role configurations can play in the big picture of consumer product design—from prototyping all the way to reacting to consumer feedback. See how to use this powerful feature to create highly customizable, efficient, and innovative products that appeal to diverse consumer needs. The session will highlight best practices and real-world case studies, equipping you with the knowledge to integrate configurations effectively in your design process.
Configurations Experience Roundtable
This session will be an opportunity for Fusion users to join members of the Configurations Team to provide feedback about the current experience and their hopes and dreams for the future of Configurations in Fusion. It’ll be a working session about user experience, technical usage, and upcoming features and improvements. Bring your laptop to get hands-on!
Configurations in Simulation and Generative Design
This session will cover how simulation and generative models allow you to create multiple shape variations. You’ll dive into a workflow that starts in the Design workspace and ends with quickly creating multiple simulation studies for analysis or quickly creating multiple generative design studies with different parameters.
Defining the Future of Configurations (Design Variants) In CAD
A configured design is a document where you can define multiple variants of a design in a configuration table. In this interactive workshop, we want to hear how you currently work with configurations in Fusion, and what you want to see in the future development of configurations capabilities.
Tips and Tricks: Get the Most Out of Configurations in Fusion
Get your hands on configurations in Fusion to try out the new capabilities. The configurations team will walk you thorugh creating a configured design and guide you throughout the configuration workflow. You’ll learn some helpful tips, tricks, and best practices along the way.
