Fusion capabilities are grouped into purpose-driven workspaces.

The tools in each workspace are organized into tabs in the toolbar according to particular design objectives. Some tools are available across multiple workspaces.

Contextual tabs are tabs that only become active in context to the command you invoke. They are not visible until the command they are associated with is selected.

Design

The Design workspace lets you create and edit solid, surface, and T-Spline model geometry, driven by 2D sketch geometry. This workspace is most like a traditional 3D CAD environment, where you can create history-based features (i.e. extrude, revolve, loft, sweep) that update with design changes.

More:

• Design: Sketch
• Design: Solid
• Design: Surface
• Design: Mesh
• Design: Form
• Design: Sheet Metal

Electronics

The Electronics workspace lets you create and edit schematics, 2D PCB layouts, 3D PCB designs, electronic components, and component libraries. You can leverage a shared component library between Fusion and EAGLE, and link components between the two so that updating changes all happen seamlessly.

See Electronics.

Generative Design

The Generative Design workspace lets you simultaneously generate multiple CAD-ready design solutions based on manufacturing and performance requirements.

See Generative Design.

Render

The Render workspace lets you generate photo-realistic images of your design. Adjust lighting and materials, add decals, and leverage local or cloud computing to communicate your design realistically.

See Render workspace.

Animation

The Animation workspace enables you to communicate your design with 3D exploded views and animations to show design assembly. Share videos with collaborators and clients to help them understand and evaluate your design.

See Animation workspace.

Simulation

The Simulation workspace lets you set up studies to test your design using finite element analysis (FEA). Simulate how your design performs under various loads and conditions. Analyze the results to understand the physical limitations of your design. Explore design alternatives and make informed decisions about design changes.

See Simulation workspace.

Manufacture

The Manufacture workspace lets you create toolpaths to produce your components using processes such as machining and turning (subtractive manufacturing) or 3D printing (additive manufacturing).

See Manufacture workspace.

Drawing

The Drawing workspace lets you document manufacturing specifications using integrated, associative drawings and animations for parts and assemblies.

See Drawing workspace.
