Fusion 360 FEA - Anisotropic Materials

[Anonymous]

I am currently working on an FEA project that uses human long bone as a material. The mechanical properties of human long bone are anisotropic (can be modeled relatively accurately as transversely isotropic). The trouble I am having in Fusion 360 is that, once I have created the custom materials for the cortical and trabecular bone components, there is no option in Fusion 360 to specify these materials as being anisotropic/transversely isotropic. The only available options are isotropic or hyperelastic. Is this simply just a limitation of Fusion 360, or is there something I am missing.

Thanks in advance.

Hello. Unfortunately Fusion Sim does not currently support anisotropic materials. We would also need to add a way to specify a per-part material orientation. These are things we are discussing for future enhancements.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi everyone,

is there any update on this topic? It would be a huge benefit for 3D printed parts!

Kind regards

Is there any update on this topic? We are interesting is testing anisotropic materials as well.

I want it as well!

Are there some update on this topic ?

Also wondering if this is now possible!

even something as basic as allowing allowing different safety factors to be set along  X Y Z axis's of the material would be helpful
