Motion Simulation CAE Application: Motion Simulation Motion Preference Create Motion Simulation The steps of Motion Simulation The steps of Motion Simulation Set Into Motion Weight Management Modeling Properties * Motion Simulation is a software application used for predictive engineering. You use it to predict the behavior of a mechanism before the mechanism is produced in the real world. Motion Simulation is a Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) software whose application is used to model and analyze the motion of moving parts within a mechanism. Example1 Motion Simulation is directed at solving problems within the realm of mechanics of rigid bodies (for example, statics and dynamics). Motion Simulation duplicates a master assembly model and brings it to life in what can be a number of different motion simulations, without altering the master assembly. Once the optimum motion simulation has been established, the master assembly model can be updated to reflect the new optimum design. Example2 Motion Simulation can analyze a mechanism for interferences, travel, velocities, accelerations, reactive forces and motion, torques, and so on. The results of a Motion Simulation analysis will often indicate a need for design changes in part geometry (lengthen/shorten arm elements, alter cam shape, adjust gear ratios, and so on), or part material (lighter, heavier, harder, and so on). Model Preparation - Master Model Dimensions Motion Simulation can analyze a mechanism for interferences, travel, velocities, accelerations, reactive forces and motion, torques, and so on. Indicated design changes can then be applied to the simulation duplicate of the master assembly model and reanalyzed. Once the optimum motion simulation is determined, the design changes can then be incorporated into the master assembly. Step 1: Create links You create links to represent moving parts within the mechanism. A link is a mechanical feature that represents a rigid body. When you create a
