To modify CAD geometry using Autodesk Fusion

The Autodesk Fusion button exports the CAD model, automatically launches Autodesk Fusion, and opens the model in Autodesk Fusion.

Ensure your study contains at least one CAD model (part or assembly) in a supported native geometry format, and that at least one layer containing a CAD Body is visible in the graphics pane.

1. Click (Geometry tab > Modify panel > Autodesk Fusion).

2. Select the CAD model you want to modify.

   Click on the CAD body in the graphics pane, or type the identifier in the Select box. Only one CAD model at a time can be modified.

   1. If more than one CAD model exists in the study, select the model you want to edit.

      Note: Assemblies contain more than one CAD body but are treated as a single model when using this tool. If you select a CAD body that is a component of an assembly, the entire assembly is exported.

3. Click Apply.

   The selected CAD model is exported and opens automatically in Autodesk Fusion.

   Tip: Do not close the current Autodesk Moldflow Insight project until you have finished modifying the CAD geometry using Autodesk Fusion.

4. When you finish modifying the geometry, click Return to Moldflow (Autodesk Fusion Model environment > Return > Return to Moldflow).

   The modified CAD model is imported automatically into a new study in the current Autodesk Moldflow Insight project.

5. Click Close to close Autodesk Fusion.

   Before you start an analysis in the new study, you must:

   1. Generate a mesh on any un-meshed geometry that is returned from Autodesk Fusion.
   2. Ensure that all retained settings, injection locations, and coolant inlets are correct.
   3. Reapply any required boundary conditions on the new mesh.
