Pay per result: You can run the simulation jobs on the cloud by paying for them with tokens.

This change will allow us to focus on these items and provide you with better overall experience of using Simulation in Fusion 360.Īs this change might impact your workflows, I wanted to mentioned the below options you will have for continuing to use Simulation in Fusion 360 with cloud solve. We are continuously working towards expanding the capabilities, improve performance and experience delivered as part of the Simulation workflows in Fusion 360. Please keep the local simulation features available! In fact, I would love to see an expansion of the other simulations to be done locally.

My system is quite capable doing it locally without issue. It is not going to make financial sense for me to use this feature on the cloud. I use the Linear Static stress simulation quite often as I make frequent changes to my designs as I R&D.

'ĭoes this mean I will now have to start using cloud credits for the features I used to have access to locally? If that's the case, it's very frustrating because I have invested in an expensive computer to be able to handle this program with ease. We are doing this in order to focus on performance, availably, and experience delivered as a part of the simulation workflows.

Going forward, we are focusing on the availability and overall experience that is provided. Cloud solving will be the only option available for all simulation study types as a part of the Simulation Extension. In the up-coming September update for Fusion 360, local solving for Linear Static stress, Modal, Thermal, and Thermal stress study types will be no longer be available. Update to Fusion 360 Simulation Extension Local Solve Capabilities In the latest update notes of Fusion360 there is a notice:
