Fusion 360 feature comparison page has inconsistent results

[ajmcrae]

Using the Autodesk product comparison page will show Fusion 360 as either having stress analysis or not having stress analysis depending on what other product you compare it to.

When compared to the "personal use" edition, static stress analysis (and nonlinear stress and several other simulation features) show a tick as being available in the paid version of Fusion 360. https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/personal/compare

 

When compared to Autodesk Inventor, static stress analysis (and nonlinear stress and several other simulation features) do not have a tick in the Fusion 360 column as though the paid version does not have these same stress analysis features. https://www.autodesk.com/compare/fusion-360-vs-inventor

 

This makes the decision about whether to pay for Fusion360 more difficult. Could you fix this apparent bug in the web site to make the feature ticks consistent, please?

/// Side note

I have wondered in recent days why pay for Fusion 360 when the personal use version has so many features and I'm not using it for commercial gain. The three main reasons probably are:

1. AnyCAD and ability to export the design to STEP for longer term portability to other CAD/CAE software if needed.

2. Stress analysis simulations.

3. Version control.

Checking the continued validity of point 2 was why this bug report arose.

Updated description to clarify it is the static stress analysis and other stress features which are inconsistent, although this was already obvious to anyone who looked at both the personal use comparison and the inventor comparison.

Also attached screenshots that were made before this ticket message was logged.

I feel you need to take another look at the statement you made above.  The comparison page you linked does indeed show Fusion 360 has Stress Analysis.

No you haven't bothered to check the comparison page for Inventor.

I've updated the question description to clarify the range of the features which are inconsistent between the two page views. I did not think I'd have to spell out static stress analysis specifically because there are so many stress features missing from the 2nd page that to name any single one of them was downplaying the problem.

Many stress analysis features are inconsistent.
