Autodesk Fusion 360 plugin for sim-cli

Drive Autodesk Fusion 360 from Codex, Claude Code, and other local AI coding agents through sim-cli.

What you can do

Live-session bridge — connect to a running Fusion 360 instance and drive it from the same agent loop that drives CAE solvers.
Model inspection — read sketches, components, parameters, and feature trees so an agent can reason about what the model actually contains before changing it.
Scripted operations — apply parametric edits, scripted feature creation, and design-table-style sweeps through bounded sim exec steps rather than a one-shot Python file.
Replayable artifacts — save model snapshots and exported geometry alongside the sequence of bounded steps that produced them, so the workflow can be re-run, audited, or handed back to an engineer.

Install

Fusion 360 plugin is currently distributed as a git install:

uv init  # only if this is not already a uv project
uv add sim-cli-core "sim-plugin-fusion360 @ git+https://github.com/svd-ai-lab/sim-plugin-fusion360"
uv run sim plugin sync-skills --target .agents/skills --copy   # Codex / Copilot
uv run sim plugin sync-skills --target .claude/skills --copy   # Claude Code
uv run sim check fusion360
uv run sim plugin doctor fusion360 --deep

A PyPI release is planned; once published, the install will simplify to uv add sim-cli-core sim-plugin-fusion360.

Quick start

Inspect a model and run a scripted edit:

uv run sim connect --solver fusion360
uv run sim inspect session.summary
uv run sim exec '<your Fusion 360 script snippet>'
uv run sim disconnect

Prerequisites

A licensed Autodesk Fusion 360 installation on the host
Python 3.10+ and uv on the same machine

Status

Early. The Fusion 360 plugin lives on GitHub and is being iterated on; the public PyPI release is not yet cut. Expect rougher edges than the COMSOL / Abaqus / Workbench plugins.
