Autodesk Application Manager is a cloud-based software delivery solution. It has a desktop component that informs you of product updates as they become available. The Autodesk Application Manager is installed along with Simulation Mechanical and many other Autodesk products. It runs in the Windows® system tray (notification area) and, by default, starts automatically when you log into your computer. For more information, see the About Autodesk 360 and Application Manager page of the Autodesk Installation Help website.
