ACP Fusion 360 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: In Fusion 360 Simulation, what type of study evaluates how a part deflects under a static load?
- Modal Frequencies study
- Static Stress study (Correct answer)
- Thermal study
- Shape Optimization study
Correct answer: Static Stress study
A Static Stress study applies forces and constraints to calculate stress distribution, displacement, and safety factors under constant loading.
Question 2: Which Fusion 360 tool generates support structures required for FDM 3D printing overhangs?
- Draft Analysis
- Support in Manufacture > Additive workspace (Correct answer)
- Shell
- Mesh Repair
Correct answer: Support in Manufacture > Additive workspace
The Additive workspace in Manufacture automatically generates support structures needed to print overhanging geometry on FDM printers.
Question 3: In Fusion 360, what is the purpose of the Combine tool?
- Join two sketch profiles
- Perform Boolean operations (join, cut, intersect) between solid bodies (Correct answer)
- Align two components
- Merge mesh bodies
Correct answer: Perform Boolean operations (join, cut, intersect) between solid bodies
The Combine tool performs Boolean join, cut, or intersect operations between two or more solid bodies in Fusion 360.
Question 4: What Fusion 360 feature automatically optimizes geometry to meet load and mass targets using generative design principles?
- Shape Optimization study
- Generative Design workspace (Correct answer)
- Topology Analysis
- Form workspace
Correct answer: Generative Design workspace
The Generative Design workspace explores multiple geometry outcomes by applying load cases and manufacturing constraints to minimize mass.
Question 5: Which Fusion 360 Sketch constraint forces a line endpoint to remain on another line or arc?
- Midpoint
- Coincident (Correct answer)
- Tangent
- Smooth
Correct answer: Coincident
The Coincident constraint forces two points or a point and a curve to share the same location in the sketch.
Question 6: In Fusion 360, what does the 'As-Built Joint' tool create?
- A joint between two components in their current positions without moving them (Correct answer)
- A joint that simulates welding
- A flexible joint for animations
- A rigid body constraint
Correct answer: A joint between two components in their current positions without moving them
As-Built Joints define the relationship between components based on their existing positions, without repositioning them.
