Fusion 360 'Startup' Ultimate version not showing Simulation selection

Anonymous

The ultimate version includes basic Simulation.  This link indicates the free Startup version should have ultimate package.   In Fusion 360 if I look at the 'About' it says:  'Active Plan:  Fusion 360 Ultimate, Startup', and then Expires Sept 5, 2019.

The version I installed about a month ago does not show Simulation modeling in the menu bar drop down.  

Would the problem be:

  1. Need to download this next month?
  2. There is a way to turn on Simulation in current Fusion 360
  3.  I need to pay a subscription for the basic finite element analysis

-Thanks in advance

There was no need to start another posting about this..  You could've continue with the other one..

 

Anyhow the link you provided is so out-of-date, many changes since then...  5 axis machining is included with Fusion 360 standard.

 

What version of Fusion or build # do you have?  It should state on the Help/About screen

here are the changes: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/fusion-360/learn-explore/caas/simplecontent/content/one-fusio...

 

if this wasn’t available before under the startup license it will not be available unless you start paying for a license

Good link,  it indicates that Simulation should be there, so still not sure why I do not have it.  On my menu I have: Model, Patch, Sheet Metal, Render, Animation, CAM, Drawing.   Quoting from the link:

'Fusion 360 Startup/Hobbyist subscribers - There is no change to the startup/hobby subscription for Fusion 360 at this time. All users will continue to have access to all features. Note: generative design technology for Fusion 360 will only be accessible to commercial customers'

So either there should be a way to bring it in, or the above quote is inaccurate, and it is necessary to pay for it to get Simulation, which I would be willing to do, but would like some clarification.

Talked with sales and purchased licence, the free hobbyist version does not contain Simulation, FEA, so you are correct
