The Autodesk Fusion Simulation Extension empowers your team to analyze part performance, manufacturability, and generative design capabilities.
Generative design outcomes can help you discover weight reduction and performance enhancements. Combine this with simulation study types like structural, thermal, and explicit simulations, as well as injection molding to gain a comprehensive understanding of how your 3D design will perform under real-life conditions before manufacturing.
Automate performance and reduce design costs with generative design. Minimize physical prototypes with digital prototypes using simulation tools.
Access advanced simulation study types to validate real-world design performance through side-by-side design comparisons.
Use manufacturing process-aware artificial intelligence to quickly expand design options well beyond human imagination.
Simulate large deformation, motion, contact, and load change behaviors on nonlinear materials.
Develop and refine designs to prevent structural failure with insights like the critical buckling multiplier.
Predict how time-dependent forces influence 3D design performance.
Inspect the effects of natural, free vibration on your part or assembly to help you fine-tune your design.
Learn how part design influences part manufacturability and part quality for plastic injection molded parts.
Identify risk of electronic component and part failure due to overheating on your printed circuit board (PCB) assemblies.
Explore multiple outcomes that meet your design specifications while reducing weight and improving performance.
Trace heat transfer and temperature-induced stresses with thermal steady state and thermal stress simulations.
