Modeling Mechanical Motion in Fusion 360 (Assembly Modeling)

In the Design workspace in Fusion 360, you can create joints between components in an assembly. A Joint is a mechanical relationship that defines the relative position and motion between 2 components in an assembly. As you design an assembly with moving components, simulating motion is an important part of the prototyping process. In Fusion 360, joints reduce the …
