Functional Value

Designers can seamlessly define complex assemblies with their mechanisms to validate their kinematic and rigid dynamic motion. Mechanisms are composed of bodies, re-using parts and geometry, joints, contacts, and machine elements such as springs. Mechanisms are driven by excitations as displacements, velocity or external loads. After its simulations, animation of the complete assembly and all different variables can be assessed. In addition, linear static structural analysis can be performed on the assembly.

User Experience Value

Motion Design enables mechanical designers to predict the mechanical behavior of their assembly under motion and loads and structural strength of parts as a design assessment. These validation phases save time and money by removing the tasks and exchanges with analysts for a first validation. Moreover, human manikins can defined and positioned in the product to have a first check of human-product compliance and prepare work for ergonomists.
