Perform a check before solving a Process Simulation study

Fusion Manufacturing Extension

This feature is part of an extension. Extensions are a flexible way to access additional capabilities in Fusion. Learn more.

Optionally perform a check of the process parameters, solve accuracy, the contact between the part and the build platform, and the mesh.

  1. In the Browser, ensure that the Process Simulation study that you want to check is active.

  2. On the Manufacture workspace toolbar, click Additive > Process Simulation > PreCheck error icon warning icon success icon.

    The PreCheck dialog opens.

    Note: Issues marked with a red exclamation mark error icon must be fixed before you can solve the additive process simulation.
  3. (Optional) To choose a different print setting, in the Process Parameters group, click Print Setting print settings icon.

  4. (Optional) To change the process simulation settings, in the Solve Accuracy group, click Settings settings icon.

  5. If the part is not in contact with the build platform, in the Platform Contact group, click Place on Platform place parts on platform icon to place the part on the build platform, or click Volume Support volume supports icon to add volume supports between the part and the build platform.

  6. (Optional) To generate a preliminary mesh, in the FEA Mesh group, click check mesh icon.

  7. (Optional) To solve the process simulation, click Solve.

Note: This feature is available only when you select a machine with additive MPBF capabilities.
