Urban slums are growing at a blistering pace. One billion people live in urban slums today, and 2 billion people will do so by 2030. These areas aren't getting bigger; they're just getting more and more crowded. Delivering basic services, such as sanitation, can be extremely challenging. At the same time, typical solutions that we've traditionally used to solve these challenges, such as sewer systems, are expensive to implement and maintain. Governments are at a loss over what to do. But there is hope. In this session, Sanergy and Splash will discuss how Autodesk technologies (including Fusion 360 and AutoCAD 360) and design thinking have been critical in tackling the sanitation challenge in urban slums in Kenya and Haiti to provide residents with access to clean, safe toilets and hand washing, and to safely remove waste from the environment and convert it into valuable end products, such as fertilizer and energy.

3D car modeling is quite a complex process and difficult to learn. This class will be a great opportunity for you to study the theory of 3D car modeling technique from Giichi Endo, a real car designer from Nichinan Corporation. Through this class, you'll be able to see and learn secret sculpt modeling techniques that Giichi has developed throughout his carrier. Giichi is a former Nissan car design director and his sculpt modeling technique is quite superb. He has more than 4 years of experience in sculpt modeling, plus more than 20 years of experience in Alias software.

In this class, we'll cover tips and tricks for publishing and scaling apps in the Autodesk App Store, as learned by the developers of the Bommer add-in for Fusion 360 software. Specifically, we'll cover preparing your app for deployment (including UX considerations), handling installation and user registration, saving and retrieving generated content (for example, files), monitoring for issues, and engaging with your user community. We'll dive deep into the Fusion 360 API to look at what's provided and what we had to build in order to deploy or add in. We'll also cover some traps we fell into while building Bommer, and how we got ourselves out of them. This class will be accessible to all skill levels of programmers and engineers/CAD managers who want to develop and publish add-ins. Some programming experience will be required to understand a few technical details, but much of the class will be understandable to nonprogrammers.

We all know that testing your code is a critical step in deploying software, but manually following a script and pressing buttons on each screen is time consuming and error prone.In this class, we'll cover various testing strategies for Fusion 360 add-ins written in python, including structuring your add-in for unit testing, automating integration testing, and utilizing continuous integration systems.The goal of these is to ensure that your add-in is easily tested and verified, which will drive down bugs and drive up user satisfaction.This class is geared towards advanced programmers and add-in developers, and will cover Fusion 360 command and command definition APIs, events, and palettes.Experience with web development concepts (to use palettes) is highly recommended.

During Autodesk University 2019, we saw many applications of Autodesk’s generative design features. Most of them shared one common feature: the final model was heavily modified from the generated shape. Adapting the generative design outcome for production and meeting usage requirements—sometimes sophisticated—is the most time-consuming and problematic task. Although this topic raises doubts and ambiguities, it seems to be largely overlooked and insufficiently explained. It's like a bottleneck in a smooth generative-design workflow—like a gap between an excellent generative solver and many established manufacturing methods. We want to bridge this gap and comprehensively address this issue for anyone working with or interested in generative design. By better understanding the solver, knowing the restrictions in manufacturing, and discovering right techniques, you can not only post process an outcome faster, but even generate it smarter to have a production-ready model that meets all expectations!

Join our Fusion Connect technical wizard for a hands-on, connected product lab that will lead you through the creation of your first connected product application in Autodesk, Inc.'s, new Internet of Things platform. This session features Fusion Connect and SeeControl (now Fusion Connect).

This class is an introduction to the Fusion 360 app's new API (application programming interface). We will provide an overview of the capabilities of the API and the tools available to write, edit, run, and debug your programs. We will also cover the material that will help you to learn and use the API, and we will demonstrate many sample programs to show the capabilities of the API.

Panelists from Autodesk and Ansys and customers, will come together for a discussion around new product-development processes that can help you achieve new values for your company. We will start by discussing some common problems that businesses face, and pressures within the design and manufacturing industry such as skilled-worker shortages, wasted engineering and production time, and the continued pressure to drive competitive advantages. Based on these pressures, there is an opportunity to capitalize on new technologies, new materials, and new processes to make products better. These processes will drive business values such as increased productivity, faster innovation, and increased flexibility to implement design changes without implementing new manufacturing processes. The goal of this panel is to drive discussion around these business outcomes and the technologies and processes that enable them.
