In Week 1, we’ll review how Fusion 360 relates to current trends in the industry. By identifying career skills required for mechanical engineers, we can better understand the toolset needed and how Fusion 360 can help.
Introduction to CAD sketching and modeling
In Week 2, we'll learn the design aspects of Fusion 360 to create fully defined sketches and models. These areas comprise the core design functionality of Fusion 360.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Use features to create solid bodies.
Create feature patterns.
Introduction to assemblies, animations, renders, and detailed drawings
In Week 3, you'll learn how to create and manage assemblies, animations, renders, and detailed drawings. These areas comprise and extension to the core design functionality of Fusion 360.
Introduction to CAM
In Week 4, we’ll explore how to use Fusion 360 to create simulations and G-code for CNC machining. These integrated tools help complete the design for manufacturing process using the design, engineering and manufacturing tools in Fusion 360. 4
Introduction to CAE
In Week 5, we'll define, solve, and review a static stress simulation using the Fusion 360 Simulation Workspace. Computer-aided engineering (CAE) removes some of the guess work previously associated with design. Advanced tools like buckling or modal frequency analysis can help shape the parameters for design updates before prototyping or production. Walk through Static Stress Simulation setup, solve, and review process.
