Simulation model export

Export a Simulation Model for use as a new base model.

You can export any Simulation Model you have created as a new Fusion base model (*.f3d) or in a variety of other CAD formats.

Why Export a Simulation Model?

If the changes you made to a simulation model need to be incorporated into the production design, you can repeat the changes in the Design workspace, using the Solid, Surface, and Form tools. However, under the following conditions, it is probably more convenient to export a simulation model to create a new Fusion design file:

• The changes are complicated or extensive, and all of them are applicable to the production model.
• You want to base future production models on the modified geometry in your current simulation study. The cloned model can be the starting point for additional production model variants.
• You want to base future simulation studies on the modified geometry in your current simulation study. The cloned model can be the starting point for additional simulation model variants. An alternative to this approach is to clone the simulation model, keeping the next version within the current design file.
