To enter the sketch mode click on the sketch menu option. Fusion allows you to extrude a plane face directly(in case you want to extended the length of that face) or a sketch that is created on a planar face. You can either use it to cut through a material or build on it. Here it is known as press pull (shortcut- q). Primitives are well defined forms such as cuboid, sphere, toroid etc that can be used to begin a form or design.Įxtrude is well known feature of a 3d cad modelling software. To get a better idea about how the project tree is organised you can watch: Working with Components. The components can be assembled and constrained at joints with respect to each other and final motion is created. The form generated is used to create components(right click on body in the project tool menu located in the left of the screen and select a body you created and choose ‘create components from bodies’). The final form can comprises of primitives, that are modified, or objects that are created out of sketches. In fusion 360 we first create bodies that have the form we want. My project contains cylindrical bodied links or arms that are constrained at the ends with revolute/hinge joint. We can start using the primitives directly build on them or modifying them.
DRAFTSIGHT 2016 FEATURES OVERVIEW MANUAL
Scanarm, a manual 3D scanning robotic arm. You can get a basic overview of the things your can do with fusion in the Autodesk videos:Ĭreating the possible final project. I love to design in Onshape and Rhino too.
DRAFTSIGHT 2016 FEATURES OVERVIEW SOFTWARE
Fusion is extremely feature rich but onshape work cross platform.Īfter evaluating many 3d design software I decided to try out Fusion 360 for 3d design. In this it is similar to autodesk fusion 360. The project version feature is also great. This does a great job if paramateric and functional 3D design is what you are looking for an you need a non windows also alternative.
DRAFTSIGHT 2016 FEATURES OVERVIEW PRO
You can have 10 models that are private and if you want more models to be private you need to pay for pro features. Even though there are some lags while designing since its an online tool and I do not know how well it would perform when the jobs gets really complex and big. I found it extremely useful when I didnt want to switch to windows just for design purpose. Onshape is a fantastic cloud based online tool, offering solidworks like workflow and features without any installation on local system. Only problem is that rhino costs much even though not as much as the god of all Solidworks. But for solid modeling rhino proves to be very versatile and feature rich. I even used rhino to edit meshes but to lesser degree of success in what I wanted to achieve. Rhino gives the most control regarding elementary features of a solid model, Its edges and surfaces. Here I have used Solidworks to design some components and shown its parametric and functional features. It might not be the most beginner friendly, but once a person goes through some of the tutorials it becomes very intuitive to use with minimal hitches. But it is a commercial product and if I only care about the 3D design it might not be the best option. I am used to the solidworks workflow the most. You can addon packages that for various purposes suited for your product design need, for example for plastic design, sheet metal design, flow simulations etc.
DRAFTSIGHT 2016 FEATURES OVERVIEW PROFESSIONAL
Solidworks offers one of the most professional solutions for overall product design. With all these in one package I can see fusion 360 going to great heights. It also cloud based and stores versions of your designs for you to access. Interesting features of fusion 360: The CAD, Sculpting, CAM, Rendering, Animation and Simulation all in a package. Solidworks in how it deals with solid modeling but has a lot of added features.
DRAFTSIGHT 2016 FEATURES OVERVIEW LICENSE
It offers a free license for startups and educational purposes, which is a boon I think.
I started playing around with fusion as it came highly recommended from Neil. I tried flood but found it hard to use because of the lack of help or tutorials.
I come from a mechanical background and not new to the CAD and the tools thats are used.I am familiar with Solidworks and have used it on many projects. Assignment2_computer_aided_design Assignment 2 : Computer Aided Design
