Kinematics and dynamics simulations save significant time and cost by enabling optimizations of mechanism designs early, but defining kinematic joints in addition to assembly constraints is time-consuming and tedious.

Streamlined Kinematics and Dynamics Simulations

3DEXPERIENCE CATIA reduces analysis preparation steps. It knows the assembly constraints, weight, center of gravity, and material, so engineers don't waste time redefining anything. 

Engineers can also evaluate the impact of spring stiffness and damping, friction, motor torque, and more to support better design decisions.

The motion simulation also allows engineers to identify clashes and verify that components can be assembled. In addition to a single mechanism, CATIA can simultaneously assess multiple mechanisms of different sub-assemblies.

To validate their design concept at an early stage, designers are empowered with early structural simulation capabilities. The same data model for design and simulation makes design iterations faster.
