Local Solve Taken from us

[DerekDLKDN]

I have been using fusion for a wile now and built my PC to handle local simulation. To find out that was for nothing and that I am no longer allowed to use my hardware and am now forced to use the "Cloud" is very frustrating! I pay a subscription to have this product updated and added to, not taken away from. I know it is "free" for some of the studies......FOR NOW! 

Please restore this functionality, or reduce the cost of your product to reflect this change!

Hi @DerekDLKDN 

Many people have shown concerns about the fact that local solve has been deleted. Let's hope that Autodesk will rethink the decision (most likely not, but hope dies last).

Thank you for posting.

Here is the answer from one of the product managers of F360.

We are continuously working towards expanding the capabilities, improve performance and experience delivered as part of the Simulation workflows in Fusion 360. This change will allow us to focus on these items and provide you with better overall experience of using Simulation in Fusion 360.

As this change might impact your workflows, I wanted to mentioned the below options you will have for continuing to use Simulation in Fusion 360 with cloud solve - 

1. Pay per result: You can run the simulation jobs on the cloud by paying for them with tokens. Token rates for different study types can be found here - Tokens for Fusion 360 Simulation studies
   

   Important Note: As of January 18, 2022, the cost of running Linear Static Stress analyses on the cloud are included as part of your Fusion 360 subscription

2. Subscribe to the Simulation Extension: By subscribing to the Simulation Extension (monthly or annually), you can submit as many job on the cloud as you wish without having to pay with tokens per study for the duration of your subscription to the Simulation Extension. You can find more information here - Fusion 360 Simulation Extension

If you have questions or concerns about this change, more information is available here - Updates to Fusion 360 Simulation and you can reach out to us at Fusion360SIM@autodesk.com"
