Autodesk Fusion is a product of Autodesk Inc. It is the first of its kind of software which combine D CAD, CAM, and CAE tool in single package. It connects your entire product development process in a single cloud based platform that works on both Mac and PC. In CAD environment, you can create the model with parametric designing and dimensioning. The CAD environment is equally applicable for assemblydesign. The CAE environment facilitates to analysis the model under real-world load conditions. Once the model is as per your requirement then generate the NC program using the CAM environment.With lots of features and thorough review, we present a book to help professionals as well as beginners in creating some of the most complex solid models. The book follows a step by step methodology.In this book, we have tried to give real-world examples with real challenges in designing. We have tried to reduce the gap between educational and industrial use of Autodesk Fusion. In this edition of book, we have included topics on Sketching, D Part Designing, Assembly Design, Rendering & Animation, Sculpting, Mesh Design, CAM, Simulation, D printing, D PDFs.ContentsStarting with Autodesk Fusion 360Sketching3D Sketch and Solid ModellingAdvanced 3D ModellingPractical and PracticeSolid EditingAssembly DesignImporting Files and InspectionSurface ModellingRendering and AnimationDrawingSculptingSculpting-2Mesh DesignCAMGenerating Milling Toolpaths - 1Generating Milling Toolpaths - 2Generating Turning and Cutting ToolpathsMiscellaneous CAM ToolsIntroduction to Simulation in Fusion 360Simulation Studies in Fusion 360

Tutorial Guide to AutoCAD 2021 provides a step-by-step introduction to AutoCAD with commands presented in the context of each tutorial. In fifteen clear and comprehensive chapters, author Shawna Lockhart guides you through all the important commands and techniques in AutoCAD 2021, from 2D drawing to solid modeling and finally finishing with rendering. In each lesson, the author provides step-by-step instructions with frequent illustrations showing exactly what appears on the AutoCAD screen. Later, individual steps are no longer provided, and you are asked to apply what you've learned by completing sequences on your own. A carefully developed pedagogy reinforces this cumulative-learning approach and supports you in becoming a skilled AutoCAD user. Tutorial Guide to AutoCAD 2021 begins with three Getting Started chapters that include information to get readers of all levels prepared for the tutorials. The author includes tips that offer suggestions and warnings as you progress through the tutorials. Key Terms and Key Commands are listed at the end of each chapter to recap important topics and commands learned in each tutorial. Also, a glossary of terms and Commands Summary list the key commands used in the tutorials. Each chapter concludes with end of chapter problems providing challenges to a range of abilities in mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering as well as architectural problems.
