Applying Mechanical Design Principles in Autodesk Tools

[bidrohini]

I’m reviewing some core mechanical design principles and came across this article that explains them very clearly:
https://www.justway.com/blog/Engineering_Technical/The_Design_Principles_of_Mechanical_Parts_a71968a1.html

I’m interested in how these principles are best applied when working in Autodesk tools such as Fusion or Inventor. For example, when designing mechanical parts in Autodesk software, which features or workflows do you rely on most to account for things like load paths, stress concentration, tolerances, and manufacturability?

Do you follow these principles during the initial modelling stage, or do you mainly validate them later using simulation and analysis tools within Autodesk?

I’d appreciate hearing how experienced users translate fundamental mechanical design theory into practical Autodesk workflows.

Thanks in advance.
