Question 7: How to use toolbars and environment?

Answer: There are two toolbars and three environment functions---- Top toolbar, Bottom toolbar, Data panel, Browsers and Navigation, respectively.

Top toolbar: 

 Contains all of the sketch/creation tools required to manipulate models. This is also where we can set the environment for Modeling, Rendering, and Simulation functionality. 

​Most commonly used Toolbar

Data panel:   

  • Access your project files here

  • You can create project folders 

  • Access to samples

  • You can upload files from here to work on

Browsers: 

  • Access all elements in work plane

  • Change viewing option for certain sketches/bodies

  • Alter document settings

Navigation:

  • Drag or select faces on cube to orient object

  • If you are using a mouse

  • Hold Shift + Press Scroll wheel to rotate orientation

Question 8: Introduction for sketch tool and how to sketch a modeling?

Sketch tool:

  • Top portion contains all sketching tools to create the base shapes

  • The second section has tools that modify sketches 

  • There are also pattern sketch tools which help with making repeating sketches

  • The sketch dimension tool

Step 1: Select Model mode, and create new sketch

Question 9: Instruction to extrude and how to extrude our sketch?

Extrude tool:

The CREATE tab has all the 3D form features. 

  • Extrusion creates a 3D form from the 2D sketch 

  • Revolve, Sweep, Loft, Threads are more complex tools that we will NOT be focusing on

  • Modification tab allows you to modify 3D faces (pull them out longer, etc.)

Step-by-step:

Step 1: Select Extrude (e)

Step 2: Select the Profile of Sketch you want to extrude

Step 3: Enter the values for how much you wish to extrude

Step 4: Select Direction (one side vs. two side)

Step 5: Select Operation mode 

  • New Body

  • Cut

  • Join

Question 10: How to circular a pattern?

Step-by-step:

The Circular Pattern tool requires:

  • Step 1: Selecting Object/s to repeat

  • Step 2: Choose a centre point for rotation

  • Step 3: Full/Partial repeating pattern

  • Step 4: Choose the quantity of repeating objects

  • Step 5: Select Okay

Step 6: Using the Extrude tool, change the function to cut and remove this pattern sketch.

Question 11: What is assembly?

Answer:

With Fusion 360 it allows you to take your components and then form a full assembly

  • Great for checking your design

  • Must turn Bodies into Components

  • The objects are being joined using different Mating preferences

    • Concentric

    • Plane to Plane

    • Locking 

  • Once Assembled, you can jump into testing the motion of objects

Question 12: What is simulation?

Answer:

Once you have your model fully assembled you can then jump into Simulation:

  • Allows you to apply loads at a certain point on the object

  • Determine the stresses taking place on the object

  • Very good for final prototyping purposes

  • Changing the Materials can also effect how well it performs
