Factory Design Utilities (FDU)

Overview

The AdskInterop module from Autodesk adds interoperability features between FlexSim and Autodesk Factory Design Utilities (FDU). This integration includes the Asset Browser, Factory Properties, and FDU layouts.

Asset Browser

You can use the Asset Browser window to create instances of factory assets in your simulation model.

You can add simulation logic and data to your asset instances by clicking on them and adjusting their FlexSim object properties, including their simulation class.

User Cloud Assets can be accessed when signed in to your Autodesk Account.

Vault Assets can be accessed when logged in to a Vault server.

Factory Properties

You can use the Factory Properties window to adjust the properties of factory asset instances.

Layouts

You can save a new layout by adding factory assets to a model and saving the model. You can also load an existing layout, adjust it, and save your changes to the layout by saving the model.
