4

The creation of a generative model inside the edit model workspace will automatically create what inside of the generative design workspace?

A generative study.

In Edit Model, if you mirror a component how is the new geometry organized in the browser?

A new component is created.

When creating a public share link, which version of the file will users be able to view and possibly download?

Always the most current version.

Which statement best describes the Boundary Fill feature as used in this course?

Boundary fill is used to create a solid body from multiple solids and surfaces.

Which feature allows you to create faces between two selected edge groups?

Bridge

Obstacle and preserve regions are a critical step in the setup and fundamental understanding of a generative design study. What best describes an obstacle when setting up a new generative design study?

Clearance for a tool to access hardware.

Which feature is used to join solid bodies together outside of a feature operation type?

Combine

In order to have motion in design based on joints a body must be converted to what?

Component.

In addition to applying dimensions to a sketch, what is another option to define the location and orientation of a sketch entity such as a line?

Constraint

Which form display mode will show the smooth geometry and box geometry at the same time?

Control Frame Display.

Which inspect tool colorizes the model based on radius of curvature?

Curvature Map Analysis

What value is a generative study set to the "Minimize Mass" objective trying to converge upon?

Factor of Safety.

Where can a public share link be created from in Fusion 360?

File menu.

Creating a creased edge on a form allows you to apply what in the design workspace? Select all that apply.

Fillet, Chamfer

Place Filler

For Posterity - Timeline will show all features in a design but highlight those belonging to the active component. - Timeline will only show new features created.

Generative designs will require both preserve regions and obstacle regions. From the following list what geometry would constitute a preserve region for a wall mounted key rack? Select all that apply

Geometry required to hold a key ring. A screw mounting location.

In a new generative study, what does the yellow arrow displayed on screen represent?

Gravity.

How can a generative design study solution with outcomes be shared?

Invite users to that project.

Which mesh refinement option results in fewer triangles?

Low

When a component is copied and pasted in a design, what feature is automatically activated to help position the copy?

Move/Copy

When setting up a CNC mill manufacturing method for 3axis machining what is the restriction on tool direction?

No restriction, a design can be created to be machined from all 6 directions.

The default "Sort by" option when entering Explore is set to what?

Processing status.

What are the mode options when using "Erase and Fill"? Select all that apply.

Reduce, Fill

The creation of a digital assembly often times requires parts to move in relation to the assembly. This can be done with joints in Fusion 360 by controlling the location and degrees of freedom of the movement. If two parts of an assembly must remain fixed relative to each other, you can apply a rigid joint, but if you have to make multiple parts rigid relative to each other you can use which other option?

Rigid Group

Which of the following best describes the difference between shape optimization and generative design?

Shape optimization requires a starting shape while generative will create the shape.

When you "Finish Form" after creating a box primitive, what is the resulting body in the design workspace?

Solid Body

Which form tool allows you to select a face and break it up into 4 smaller faces?

Subdivide.

Soft modification is used to control what?

The amount of influence movement has on surrounding geometry.

If the link is broken on a distributed design component, what happens to that component?

The component's timeline and history are brought into the current design.

Which statement below best describes a load case?

The definition of loads and constraints acting on a design.

What is the requirement to be able to convert a mesh to a T-spline and begin working with it as a form?

The mesh must be a quad mesh.

A scatter plot display in Explore allows you view outcomes based on what legend settings?

The plot axes can be customized with any filter option.

How does activating a component change the timeline?

Timeline will only show features created while a component is active.

What selection is needed in order to create a construction midplane on a rectangle?

Two parallel faces.

If a generative design containing multiple generative models appears to be missing geometry, what is a good first step?

Use Edit Model to explore feature rebuild.

How do you manipulate the objective ranges to easily filter the outcome thumbnails in Explore?

Use the sliders to adjust the range.
