Snapfit through hole Design

Anonymous — Wed, 05 Feb 2020 01:49:55 GMT

Hi everyone.

I am looking for support in making snap fit through holes in Fusion.

I tried to do it by my myself knowledge, but making event simulations, at the moment when snapfit cross through hole, the snapfits touch each other impeding pass over hole.

Then i understood i need to do some calcs before make solids and simulation.

Has anyone can help me?

Thank a lot.

Can you be more specific about what you need help with? Is there a specific function in Fusion 360 that you need help with? Are you having trouble with Simulation?

Hi @Anonymous,
You don't need to do with with your self-knowledge when we have an awesome Event Sim snap-fit tutorial you can follow as an example 😉

Have you completed it and still have specific questions (as Tyler mentioned)?

Hope this helps!

This is a tutorial on stress testing. This ISN'T a tutorial on how to create the snap-fit part shown!! If that's a tutorial, link to it, because the link you have isn't it.

Hi @jvalaleducation,

That's correct, the purpose of the tutorial is to teach how to use Fusion Simulation to analyze the performance of a snap-fit design. I linked it for the event simulation portion of the OP's question.

If you're looking for a way to include a snap fit in your design, we now offer a tool that can Create a snap fit.

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a tutorial that describes how to create a snap fit design from scratch in Fusion.

Please let us know if have any additional questions.

Hi @jvalaleducation,

The "Create a snap fit" text is a click-able link to the product documentation topic:

https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=SLD-SNAP-FIT

The page should be this one:

If you're looking for the basics of how to create a models (such as the image of the snap fit in the original post) there's a sticky thread with a great collection of info for this purpose.
