Book Description
The Autodesk® Fusion 360™ Introduction to Parametric Modeling learning guide provides you with an understanding of the parametric design philosophy using the Autodesk® Fusion 360™ software. Through a hands-on, practice-intensive curriculum, you will learn the key skills and knowledge required to design models using the Autodesk Fusion 360 software. Enhanced with videos, this learning guide will also assist you in preparing for the Autodesk Fusion 360 Certified User exam. Software Version: As a cloud-based platform, updates are frequently available for the Autodesk Fusion 360 software. This learning guide has been developed using software version: 2.0.3173. If you are using a version of the software later than version 2.0.3173, you might notice some variances between images and workflows in this learning guide and the software that you are using. Topics Covered: Understanding the Autodesk Fusion 360 interface Creating, constraining, and dimensioning 2D sketches Creating and editing solid 3D features Creating and using construction featuresCreating equations and working with parametersManipulating the feature history of a designDuplicating geometry in a designPlacing and constraining/connecting components in a single design fileDefining motion in a multi-component designCreating components and features in a multi-component designCreating and editing T-spline geometryDocumenting a design in drawingsDefining structural constraints and loads for static analysis Prerequisites: As an introductory book, no prior knowledge of any 3D modeling or CAD software is required. However, students do need to be experienced with the Windows operating system and a background in drafting of 3D parts is recommended.
