Learn how to perform a thermal simulation in Autodesk Fusion with this step-by-step beginner-friendly tutorial.
In this video, Autodesk Certified Instructor Elizabeth Bishop walks you through how to run a basic thermal study to evaluate how your design performs under heat conditions using the Simulation workspace of Autodesk Fusion.
You’ll learn how to set up a thermal study correctly, analyse heat transfer in a real model (pipe example), test whether your chosen materials can handle thermal conditions and understand practical use cases like cooling fins and insulation.
This video is perfect for engineers, product designers, and students who want to validate designs using FEA thermal analysis in Fusion.
