Load Deﬁnition

Apply dierent driving loads and torques as

well as time-based force functions using the load

proﬁle editor. Use this tool to investigate the

design’s performance under a range of dierent

load conditions.

Visualization

Animated D visualization shows dynamic motion

based on underlying physics models and the applied

load conditions. As a result, users gain a better

understanding of the behavior and performance

of the design.

Point Trace

Determine accurate component position to ensure

sucient clearance between mechanisms and ﬁxed

structures. Select any point in the model and use the

Trace option to display the selected point’s location

at each step in the simulation. Save simulation

output, including path trace and assembly position,

for use in part and assembly design.

Graphing (Dynamic Simulation)

Use the comprehensive graphing capability to

quickly investigate how the dynamic characteristics

of the design vary through the machine’s operating

cycle. Plot physical parameters—such as position,

force, and acceleration—versus time. Compare

dierent properties at each point in the simulation

cycle using multiple plots on the same graph.

Microsoft Excel Output

Export XY plot data to Microsoft

Excel

worksheets,

to analyze simulations and incorporate results in

presentations and reports.

Constraint Translation

Quickly and easily set up dynamic simulations to

represent the operating conditions of the design.

The constraint reduction engine analyzes assembly

constraints to identify the relevant rigid bodies and

generate the correct motion joints for simulation.

You can also apply standard geometric constraints

using the included library of motion joints. Then

add springs and dampers to deﬁne the coecient of

friction that applies to each joint.
