KINEMATIC MOTION ANALYSIS

OVERVIEW

Can I evaluate movement in SOLIDWORKS?
Test mechanisms and more with SOLIDWORKS Motion

Easily evaluate how your product will perform and move throughout its operational cycle with motion analysis using SOLIDWORKS Simulation.

Visualise your product moving as it would in the real world and measure the forces and loads on your design. Plus, use the data to correctly size motors and create the ‘correct’ mechanism to ensure performance, product quality, and safety.

Tightly integrated with SOLIDWORKS CAD, motion analysis using SOLIDWORKS Simulation can be a regular part of your design process—reducing the need for costly prototypes, eliminating rework or delays, and saving time and development costs.

Overview
Motion analysis is solved using a time-based approach for rigid body kinematic and dynamic problems. SolidWorks Motion takes the designer beyond the free drag movement available in a CAD environment and into a true physical calculation of the forces and motions of an assembly as it would move under environmental loads (external forces) and/or internal loads (motors, springs, and dampers).
SolidWorks Motion simulation can calculate the effect of:
  • Forces
  • Springs
  • Dampers
  • Gravity
  • Contact between components
  • Bushings
Once the assembly motion has been calculated, a structural analysis of the components under the motion-induced loads (accelerations and joint forces) can easily be carried out, either within the motion study or exported to a structural analysis study.
