The foundation of engineering design is often coupled with validation. Simulation is a great tool that allows engineers to test, validate, and modify designs before they become a physical prototype. When used early in the process for simulation driven design and throughout the development process, simulation can help drive the design, make informed design decisions, speed up time to production, and most importantly, identify and eliminate costly design mistakes.

TOP REVIEWS FROM SIMULATION ANALYSIS FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERS WITH AUTODESK FUSION 360
Had a great learning experience with AutoDesk. It's the best platform or site to learn Designing and to Innovate
the instructor is clear and every small features are touched in the course. Self learning is encouraged by giving Practice Problems.
Great amount of practice for simulations!! Indeed Fusion 360 is a perfect integrated combo for CAD, CAE, CAM! Just if CFD would have been included too, it would have been even more great :-)
Excellent course for anyone getting started with simulation. This course has introduced me to the beauty of Simulation analysis. Simply a brilliant experience.
