Course 2 of 5 in the Specialization CAD and Digital Manufacturing

Design, engineering, and manufacturing are undergoing a digital transformation, and the need for a collaborative product development environment is becoming an ever-growing requirement. Autodesk® Fusion 360™ meets this need by connecting CAD, CAM, and CAE in a single cloud-based platform unlike any other tool of its kind. This course builds upon digital manufacturing trends and foundational CAD concepts discussed in Course 1 of this series by introducing Fusion 360 as a problem-solving tool. In this course, we take the next step in connecting CAD, CAM, and CAE through a series of short exercises on 3D modeling, rendering, simulation, and computer aided manufacturing. After completing this course series, you will be able to: • Demonstrate knowledge of and apply job entry level skills in computer aided design, computer aided engineering (CAE) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM) using Fusion 360 software. • Describe and apply design based workflows for design, engineering and manufacturing using Fusion 360 software. • Utilize Fusion 360 cloud based collaboration features for project sharing and design review.

From the lesson

Simulation

Simulation technology is changing the design process. Simulation tools are becoming highly accurate, fast and powerful and can help you better understand how functional a design is and ways in which to improve it. In this lesson, you explore Fusion 360 Simulation features and learn how to take advantage of simulation feedback through the design process to explore and test your design ideas.

This lesson will begin the process of setting up a static stress study on

the steering wheel to make sure that it is strong

enough to handle the loads it will endure.

We will begin the process by creating a new design from

the FSAE steering wheel simulation file.

Once that is open, we'll change to the simulation work space

using the pull-down on the left end of the tool bar.

The new study dialog will appear asking

us what type of simulation we would like to perform.

I happened to have Fusion 360 Ultimate,

so I have eight different options of simulation available to me.

The type of simulation we want to run will be

static stress simulation and all versions of Fusion 360 have this capability.

The static stress selected,

I'll click OK to start the setup process.

On the right-hand side,

the dialog for getting started will appear.

This dialog will show you how to find

helpful tutorials and general information on different types of study that are available.

For now, we'll simply close the dialog.

On the left-hand side is a special version of the browser for simulation.

If I expand the model components,

I can see the individual components that make up the assembly.

I don't want to analyze all of them,

so I will deselect the components that I don't want to

analyze by removing the check from the checkbox.

The only components that I want to analyze are

the steering shaft and the steering wheel base plate.

But I will also deselect the tachometer circuit body

as it serves no real structural purpose for the steering wheel base.

When we're done, we can minimize the model components folder.

We can expand the study materials folder and it will show

us the materials that are being used for the remaining components.

Everything that is left is the default material which is steel.

Through simulation, we're hoping to find more effective materials for the job.

In the materials panel on the tool bar,

I can use the drop-down to see options.

You might have also noticed that the appearance of the model has

changed since we entered the simulation work space.

When entering the simulation work space,

the components took on the appearance of

their physical materials rather than the appearance overrides that were applied to them.

To explore the material options with our analysis,

we'll change them by selecting the study materials option.

When the dialog opens,

it will show us the current model materials.

If we choose to change the physical material in the model work space,

that change would be reflected here.

Instead, we will simply change the study materials using

the drop-down menu and selecting Aluminum 7075 for the steering wheel base plate,

and then scrolling down the alphabetic list to

Steel high-strength structural for the steering shaft.

We'll click OK to keep these changes and immediately,

you'll see the appearance of the model is changed based on the study material selected.

The high-strength structural steel shaft is presented in a darker gray,

and the aluminum steering wheel base plate is shown in more of a silver tone.

At this point, we will save the file and move to the next step.
