To all then people here, I would like to see somebody make a design of a super wide bimetal. I’ve never seen one before. ---

are the system requirements for Fusion360 and Solidworks the same? the best PC in my household can’t run Fusion360, so i’m wondering if Solidworks will work (no pun intended). ---

I don’t know the specific requirements. You’d have to try it. ---

I double checked to make sure I wasn’t lying to you lol. Yes; Solidworks is significantly more demanding than Fusion 360. Did you download and try running Fusion 360? ---

no but my brother who owns/built the PC said it wouldn’t work, and if it did it’d run very slow. ---

If you’re interested in drawing up some yoyos I’d encourage you to try it. Fusion has a bunch of heavy duty stuff in it that you won’t need for what you are doing. The system requirements are written to make sure you have adequate performance when generating CNC tool paths, performing finite element analysis, and other stuff you won’t need for yoyo design. When you decide to do some rendering to make the pretty pictures of your design it might be slow, but you can let it go overnight since that’s not an interactive process - just start it and come back later. Worst case scenario it doesn’t work out and you uninstall it. Good luck man (and also don’t get yourself in trouble with your brother following my advice!) ---
