Step 4

Create Custom Components via Autodesk Assistant

通过 Autodesk Assistant 创建自定义组件

Utilize Autodesk Assistant AI to generate two types of parts: steering wheel and safety seat. Compose detailed prompts with clear positions and dimensions for later editing.

Modification requirement: Set the steering wheel to rotate around the Z semi-axis to complete the steering wheel component design.

Step 6

Combine Models and Create Adjustable Seat Mechanism

组合模型并创建可调节座椅机制

Combine the model imported from the official Autodesk website with the model you created within the software.

Create a cylinder and shell it to match the diameter of the piston. Generate internal threads with a depth of 10 mm inside the cylinder, and add external threads of 10 mm length at the bottom of the piston. Combine the two components and mount them under the seat. The assembled piston and base will enable height adjustment of the seat.

SUMMARY

Summary

总结

This tutorial demonstrates the workflow of custom automotive part design leveraging modern CAD software and AI assistants. Key learning objectives are listed as follows:

  1. Export 3D models from the online platform SophiCar
  2. Process F3D format files in Fusion 360
  3. Conduct parametric design with Autodesk Assistant AI
  4. Write effective prompts containing precise dimensions and placement information
  5. Iterate design revisions (adjust seat length, armrest thickness, etc.)
  6. Search and download models from Autodesk Community Gallery
  7. Model calibration and optimization inside Fusion 360
