Autodesk Fusion Connector for Synera: AI does iteration while engineers focus on innovation
The connector brings the powerful capabilities of Fusion into Synera workflows, enhanced by the platform’s agentic AI layer.
It eliminates IT overhead while allowing engineers to share designs in the cloud, while automating design and simulation iterations, cost analysis, and RFQ preparation.
Instead of waiting for overnight simulation results or manually updating dozens of design files, engineers can start their day with ready to review design variants – freeing hours each day for creative problem solving.
Rule-based automation handles complex, multistep tasks. This includes identifying optimal design variants or evaluating materials across mechanical, manufacturing, and cost criteria.
Faster cycles, lower costs, more time for innovation
The connector delivers practical advantages that streamline engineering workflows – accelerating cycles, reducing costs, and freeing teams to focus on innovation, with these top features:
- Fusion parametric control: Update Fusion part or assembly models by adjusting their parameters directly from within Synera.
- Fusion Manage integration: Maintain seamlessly data storage in Fusion’s PDM for compliance and data integrity.
- Automated parameter sweeps: Achieve up to 10x faster design cycles and create datasets for machine learning in minutes.
- Convenient, connected engineering: Combine Fusion with other Synera add-ins for end-to-end workflows.
- AI agent-led workflows: Deploy Synera AI agents for design, simulation, costings, and quoting to accelerate decisions.
Projects that once took weeks to converge on an optimal design can now reach signoff in days. Every iteration builds on live, connected data instead of siloed experts and manual transfers.
Reuse across Autodesk tools
Synera also works seamlessly with other Autodesk software, including:
- Moldflow: Use modified Fusion geometries for injection molding simulations.
- Inventor: Import Inventor geometries, adjust parameters, and send updated models back to Inventor
- NavPacK: Train deep learning models on high quality simulation data for accurate predictions across physics domains
Synera joins more than 75 engineering tool integrations across 20 partners, making Synera the ideal hub for creating end-to-end digital threads in one platform.
How the connector works
The Fusion Connector for Synera leverages Autodesk Platform Services (APS) APIs to access and modify Fusion model parameters stored in the cloud. Within a Synera workflow, users can:
- Find their Fusion design inFusion Manage and select the document URL.
- Provide the URl to the Run Fusion node in Synera.
- Read Receive a read out of all parameters and select which ones to modify.
- Update dimensions or model parameters, whether is a fillet radius, an extrusion length, and or number of entities to patterns directly in Synera.
- Trigger model rebuilds and design updates in the cloud using the Fusion Automation API.
- All updates are stored as usual in Fusion Manage for full PDM traceability.
- Automatically download and then use updated geometry in your Synera workflows for simulation, costing, or other tasks.
With Synera and Fusion, engineers can automate design, meshing, simulation, optimization, and manufacturing iterations, pivot instantly when priorities change, and focus on innovation—not iteration.
The connector is available to all Synera platform users with an Autodesk Fusion license. It works out of the box—no code, no scripting, no headaches. Start connecting data, automating workflows, and delivering innovation at speed today.
Generate training data for machine learning models
To train machine learning models for mechanical performance prediction such as Autodesk Navasto:
- Define a parameter range (e.g., wall thickness, rib height, fillet radius)
- Run hundreds of design iterations automatically
- Send each updated model into your simulation workflow (e.g., via Nastran or Moldflow)
- Collect results and generate structured training datasets in Autodesk Navasto
Go from hours of tedious manual modeling updates to fully automated parametric sweeps in minutes, bridging CAD optimization cycles and machine learning into one seamless flow.
