Table of contents
Autodesk provides a rich collection of information to help you learn about and get the most from Autodesk Simulation Mechanical 360. This is a list of resources that we feel will help you get started as quickly as possible:
Product Documentation
For a comprehensive description of how to use Simulation Mechanical and Simulation Multiphysics, Fatigue Wizard, tutorials, example models, and more, please see the Autodesk Simulation Mechanical WikiHelp.
Tutorials
In addition to the two Quick-Start Tutorials presented in the previous pages on this wiki, we have a wide assortment of tutorials to help you gain experience using Autodesk Simulation Mechanical. Modeling and meshing tutorials cover CAD-based and structured-mesh (hand-built) models as well as solid, planar, and line elements. Analysis tutorials cover linear static stress, linear dynamics, mechanical event simulation, heat transfer, fluid flow, electrostatics, and multiphysics analysis scenarios (combined analysis types). The four tutorials pictured below, in particular, are great for learning the basics and for quickly seeing what Autodesk Simulation Mechanical can do:
