PACCARPACCAR Extends Fusion Across Virtual Testing
PACCAR, an industrials organization in the United States, uses Fusion from Autodesk to support virtual testing for analysts and design leads.
PACCAR folded Fusion into virtual testing so analysts and design leads share one view of simulation.
“Analysts and design leads needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.”
“Autodesk makes design and make software for architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing, including AutoCAD, Revit, and Fusion.”

Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Productivity | Fewer stalled items because simulation has a clear owner |
| Productivity | Handoffs in virtual testing sit in a shared queue instead of a mailbox trail |
| Risk and compliance | Fusion is the governed place analysts and design leads use for virtual testing |
Story
Inside PACCAR, virtual testing used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in industrials groups working out of the United States. Analysts and design leads needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
PACCAR uses Fusion from Autodesk as the working layer for simulation. Autodesk makes design and make software for architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing, including AutoCAD, Revit, and Fusion. The practical change is simple: virtual testing has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What PACCAR gets from Autodesk is a durable place to run virtual testing and a way for analysts and design leads to see the same simulation at the same time.
