SM2198: Sim 360 Deep Dive

In this hands-on lab, learn how Inventor® Professional, Autodesk® Simulation CFD, and Autodesk® Simulation Mechanical design tools can empower structural engineers and architects to accurately assess designs for the infrastructure of our growing world. Autodesk design and creation suites are a smorgasbord of design tools, many with unlimited cloud computing capabilities. Creatively exploring various combinations and interoperability functions of Autodesk Simulation tools in nontraditional workflows can have a profound effect on design. This lab provides an opportunity to practice the workflow and techniques in a hands-on environment. A case study shows the techniques that are needed then justifies using simulation tools and workflows to accurately predict the thermal profile and resultant stresses through validation against measured bridge data. Attendees learn how Inventor designs can be analyzed for thermal loads using Simulation CFD and for thermal stresses using Simulation Mechanical.

In this class, you see how Sim 360 Pro simulation cloud services, in tandem with Fusion 360™ cloud-based software, can be used to design an improved football helmet to help reduce injuries to players while keeping the same level of comfort and visual appeal. All design modifications and simulation work is performed on the cloud, demonstrating that the traditional means of design and analysis work are being surpassed by this faster, more lightweight method. If you're interested in the future of product design and analysis, this is the place for you. Ravens fans need not apply.
