Assemble, test and refine systems

Pupils will develop knowledge of electronic components and a systems approach to designing. They will learn about different components and use these to build and test circuits for different purposes. They will design a system to control a greenhouse environment, considering the different variables.

Systems approach to design: Sustainable Futures

What type of modelling is Fusion based on?

Sketches in Fusion are 2D geometric representations used to create {{}} models.

control sketch relationships and prevent design errors

What do constraints do in a Fusion sketch?

adjust shapes with fillet, offset, or trim

control display settings like construction lines

Match each sketch tool category with its function:

to avoid design errors and keep geometry consistent

Why should constraints be applied when sketching in Fusion?

Fusion sketches can be turned into 3D models by using the {{}} tool.

using measurements and rules to define shapes

Fusion is a sketch-based CAD application used to create {{}} models.

change shapes using tools like fillet or trim

control shape relationships and prevent errors

In Fusion, sketches are created in {{}} before being turned into 3D models.
