The attached video shows how to use the plugin and how to create complex examples which require two designs.
Execution in most cases takes about 10 seconds on i7/8GB RAM/512GB SSD computer.
Disclaimer
The plugin doesn't check interferences automatically and doesn't perform any analysis of prepared components. Please make sure that the necessary check is done before releasing this onto production. You must be aware that the real dimensions of manufactured components may be different than in the design. Every material has different characteristics and its parameters may change during time depending on the kind of material, temperature and humidity of the environment, workload, etc. The simplest motion analysis can be done by using joints and motion rules prepared by the plugin. Both involute and trochoid interferences can be checked by eyes but there’s a better, dedicated built-in tool (TOOLS ïƒ Interference) available in Autodesk® Fusion®.
