Fusion 360 to CFD tab

Anonymous — Thu, 28 Feb 2019 14:54:06 GMT

I used a "Fusion 360 to CFD export tab button" in Simulation mode - Simplify model, in Fusion 360. It was there just yesterday. Today it is gone.

Could someone help me find it?

Or explain why it is no longer available?

Aparently there has been some change in Fusion 360 Interface. After i click on simplify model on simulation mode, it goes into edit model. This is new/diferent (without explanation). Is there some explanation on why and how it works now?

...for clarity: I just want the CFD launch from Fusion..

Hi ivitjerina,

>explain why it is no longer available?

Please ensure

1. CFD 2019 is installed and it can be launched

2. More importantly have some geometry. Like a box. If there is no geometry then the buttons will not show.

>After i click on simplify model on simulation mode, it goes into edit model.

Surprising. Clicking on Simplify should take you to Simplify. Edit Model is the "Simplify" workspace for Generative Design. Simplify is the simplification workspace for Simulation.

In terms of steps are you creating an empty document, going to Simulation and clicking on Simplify goes to Edit Model or is it happening with a certain file?

Thanks

Yesterday i did see and used tha tab. I would find it by going to simulation then simplify (see screenshot f1).

Today after clicking on simplify it goes to somewhere else (see screenshot f2).

CFD is o.k. (see screenshot c1)

"Simplify is the simplification workspace for Simulation. " (this is what appears to be unreachable for me today)

"or is it happening with a certain file? " (i just discovered this is happening with this certain file) (file atached below "1.1 v8")

Nice to know CFD button shows.

We might have an issue when no Simulation studies are present its going to the incorrect workspace when you click on Simplify. To work that around

1. Open your file

2. Finish Edit Model

3. Go to Simulation

4. Create a study

5. Now click on Simplify. It will go to Simplify

Or just use the attached file.

This issue is fixed in the uptodate builds we have.
