Fusion 360 Assembly Design

Question 1

What is a 'Component' in Fusion 360?

Accepted Answer

A self-contained design unit that can contain bodies, sketches, and joints

Answer

A Component is Fusion 360's basic assembly unit — it has its own origin, can hold multiple bodies and sketches, and can be jointed to other components.

Question 2

Which joint type in Fusion 360 allows one component to rotate freely around a single axis?

Accepted Answer

Revolute

Answer

A Revolute joint constrains all translational degrees of freedom and allows only rotation around one specified axis.

Question 3

What does a 'Rigid' joint do in Fusion 360?

Accepted Answer

Locks two components together with no relative motion

Answer

A Rigid joint removes all degrees of freedom between two components, making them move as one fixed unit.

Question 4

In Fusion 360 assemblies, what is the 'Ground' function used for?

Accepted Answer

Fixes a component's position so it cannot move

Answer

Grounding a component anchors it to a fixed position in space, serving as the reference part that all others are assembled to.

Question 5

Which Fusion 360 command allows you to define where two components connect by specifying geometry on each part?

Accepted Answer

Joint

Answer

The Joint command lets you pick connection geometry (faces, edges, points) on two components to define their physical relationship.
