Fusion 360 is a well-known program for Windows by Autodesk available both to students and professional engineers. It is possible to create complex models of various objects and products.
Modeling
This is a centralized environment for designers, engineers and manufacturers to develop and produce projects. There is parametric and freeform modeling which provides versatility in creating necessary illustrations. Users can draw and manipulate various objects, forms and shapes to visualize their ideas.
The application includes simulation and analysis tools integrated to test illustrations with real-word conditions. In other words, you can make sure that the mechanisms and equipment will work according to your plans and calculations. It is possible to detect and identify potential flaws and issues before approving projects.
Library
There is an extensive catalog of materials to build various structures from scratch. The program allows you to use digital versions of metals, plastics and composites with precise properties to provide models with necessary details. On top of that, you can manage standart arrangements like screws and bolts to minimize time on building them on your own.
