In my latest entry, I discuss about incremental morphing using the Cylindrify functions to morph elements found in a Generative Design model. Using certain parameters as metrics morph the part to an improved theoretical state, But there is also second method that will be most beneficial to customers and that is goof proofing fit up, nesting and XY hole patterns - rectangular and radial. Once Fusion can generate views and dimensions in drawings very quickly and accurately with clarity and completeness. Next area of endeavor for developers is to create software algorithms generating temporary "states" to check combination of upper and lower level tolerance envelope with LMC and MMC conditions in subassemblies and larger assemblies. Answer the question: Will it work? Will it Fit/mate? Rework? Repair?
Software is the only tool that can make these digital twins or temporary conditions - save data and document for design reviews
AutoDesk and Fusion 360 customers will want to be able to check their design in all worst case combinations in various assembly conditions. This is something I believe every customer will want and they need the tools to get there. Once design is debugged and optimized dimensionally customers will be confident they are making a great quality product. The product will have very little if any rework, repair or scrap meeting six sigma goals- a surge can be instituted at any time to meet customer's new orders with no sweat and fear of overtime and overbudget. (see Incremental Morphing and Translation) I will be working on new entries that explain this Incremental Morphing for assembly in detail.
Thanks, John
