Inventor Fusion for Simulation Users
June 26, 2009, 01:42 PM Brian SatherI know it's a bit of a tough pill to swallow, but we can't all be experts in everything [Guaranteed 1st comment is "Speak for yourself Sather!]. As a simulation user myself I recognize that I'm probably not the best CAD modeller out there. Don't get me wrong...I'm not bad...but certainly not the best. But I am really good at finding potential manufacturing problems and usually have some decent ideas on what can be modified in the design to correct it.
And that's what excites me about Inventor Fusion. If someone sends me a model to analyze and I do find something wrong, I can really easily bring it into Fusion, push/pull/move/etc. and run another analysis iteration to see if I made it better [or more likely worse]. And the golden ticket here is that we'll [eventually] be able to send that modified version of the part back to the designer and they can accept the changes that were made back into the history-based part model. Now that's awesome.
Check out the YouTube video below for a little example...and let me know what you think about the potential of this workflow...

I know... third, not first, but Justin should have had the good sense to do so I wouldn't have to. All kidding aside, really great workflow Brian... a perfect use for this tool.

In all seriousness, those of us that have used Inventor for a long time look at Fusion and think - eh, Inventor with a different skin... oh, how wrong - this example helps define the difference.
