“That does not bring a CAD designer, it is only simulation, few post-processing options”

Julio B.

Desing Engineer

Cons

“files you need an additional license. And the fact that designing on a sketch is still not well supported.”

Mario O.

Project Fusion Engineer

“Importing geometries from other CAD software can sometimes create problems. ”
