Integrated concept to fabrication

00:04

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.
