This can be especially true in the new Thermal studies, where the only difference between iterations might be in the material definitions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the following video, we\u2019ll show you how to reuse simulation definitions to test different designs in a short amount of time. Then, I\u2019ll also show you how you can use these cloned Thermal studies to help you solve for Thermal Stress&#8230;the other new study found in Fusion 360:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"wistia_responsive_padding\" style=\"padding: 56.25% 0 28px 0; position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"wistia_responsive_wrapper\" style=\"height: 100%; left: 0; position: absolute; top: 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wistia_embed\" src=\"http:\/\/fast.wistia.net\/embed\/iframe\/0amic1nd1a?videoFoam=true\" name=\"wistia_embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hope that helps!
