CFD Tool available for Hobby User?

angel_vbc — Sun, 17 Oct 2021 07:37:33 GMT

Hello,

In relation to Fusion360 Simulation Workspace -> Design Simplification.

I noticed that in Tutorials they have enabled a third option "CFD Tool" (red circle in the photo)

I would like to know how I can enable that option. It is for CFD analysis.

I am a hobby user, not a subscriber.

Thank you!

Hi,

Thanks for posting.

All Simulation commands are available only for paying or educational customers.

Here's a comparison between free features and paid.

In your screenshot, if that's your own account, you have an educational account. You should have access to all the features and tools.

Perhaps you need to enable it in preferences.

Did that help?

Hello i activate the function but it doesnt work.

I am wondering if it is because a paysubscription is needed.

Thank you in advance.

I also noticed that after clicking the Preferences options, now i have 2 new simulation workspace Set Up available.

Great! Sounds like you are up and running now, you can use the two new simulation types.
