Autodesk Fusion 360 Introduction To Parametric Modeling

Autodesk Fusion 360: Introduction to Parametric Modeling (6th Edition)

Parametric Modeling with Autodesk Fusion 360

Parametric Modeling with Autodesk Fusion 360 contains a series of thirteen tutorial style lessons designed to introduce Autodesk Fusion 360, solid modeling and parametric modeling techniques and concepts. This book introduces Autodesk Fusion 360 on a step-by-step basis, starting with constructing basic shapes, all the way through to the creation of assembly drawings and 3D printing your own designs. This book takes a hands on, exercise intensive approach to all the important parametric modeling techniques and concepts. Each lesson introduces a new set of commands and concepts, building on previous lessons. The lessons guide you from constructing basic shapes to building intelligent solid models, assemblies and creating multi-view drawings. This book also introduces you to the general principles of 3D printing including a brief history of 3D printing, the types of 3D printing technologies, commonly used filaments, and the basic procedure for printing a 3D model. 3D printing makes it easier than ever for anyone to start turning their designs into physical objects, and by the end of this book you will be ready to start printing out your own designs.

Autodesk Fusion 360: Introduction to Parametric Modeling

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.
