Engineer accurate mechanism motion, composed of sophisticated sheet metal, machined metal parts for tooling and general mechanical applications

Mechanical Motion Designer role provides a complete set of applications in order to perform mechanical systems design and validation, based on 3D geometry, assemblies and parts, for any sophisticated mechanism, such as tooling, machinery, doors, panels or devices. 

Engineering connections created during the Assembly Design phase are directly reused to define kinematics joints and mechanisms in a seamless workflow. Mechanisms can then be combined together to create more sophisticated mechanical systems. Direct manipulation and mechanism player command enable users to quickly position the parts and rapidly check their design and the motion of the assembly. Functional checks and validation of mechanisms can be carried out by running kinematic or dynamic simulation with collision detection, measures, swept volumes and traces. Moreover, the structural behavior of the assembly can be quickly validated by applying loads on the parts, using the best-in-class finite element modeling technologies, with a simple but complete assistant for mechanical engineers.
