Fusion – and the Jealous Change Manager
Fusion does an impressive job on Assemblies and multi-body parts. Inventor on the other hand gets quite jealous… In this article I’ll discuss some things regarding the Fusion/Inventor interaction regarding multiple component files. I tried to push the limit on what it was designed to do and kept hitting the wall. This article is the result. The Inventor/Fusion functionality Simplified Inventor starts the Change Manager when a Fusion DWG file is opened. It then opens [...] ...Read the rest of this article...

Inventor Dynamic Simulation Simplification
Now that 2011 is no longer a secret, we can discuss Dynamic Simulation more. The better you understand Dynamic Simulation, the faster you will be getting the results you need. The first thing to consider is how to simplify your simulation. Why simplify? The Dynamic Simulation Environment will not use the assembly constraints currently in place. Instead it uses its own joints. While Assembly constraints can be converted into joints, this conversion can be riddled [...] ...Read the rest of this article...
