Fusion moving solve to the cloud breaks my business model.

jculleton3 — Thu, 01 Sep 2022 21:41:23 GMT

I do some confidential work and up until now I could do ok by keeping my models local.

Now I have to do even static stress computations on the cloud.

Is there any other option besides learning new software that fusion offers that will allow me to continue doing static stress modeling on my local PC.
Perhaps I have been fooling myself and my models ended up in some cloud somewhere but I know that if my contractor found out I would be in DEEEP DOOOOODO.

So please elaborate is my work save and my transfers encrypted?
Is the Fusion cloud protected at least to the AES type of encryption?
If I am no longer able to do my simulations locally can I purchase a VPN directly with Fusion 360's cloud provided that the data on the cloud is encrypted?

Thanks

You can use Autodesk Inventor NASTRAN

Autodesk Inventor Professional to do local static stress analysis.

The process is essentially identical as in Fusion.

So are these stand alone programs that work with Fusion 360 or do I have to purchase Inventor Professional and learn new cad?

Thanks for your prompt response.

They are stand-alone programs in their own right but also work with Fusion.

Nothing is free.
