Apply different driving loads and torques as  

well as time-based force functions using the load 
profile editor. Use this tool to investigate the 
design’s performance under a range of different 
load conditions.

Animated 3D visualization shows dynamic motion 

based on underlying physics models and the applied 
load conditions. As a result, users gain a better 
understanding of the behavior and performance  
of the design.

Determine accurate component position to ensure 
sufficient clearance between mechanisms and fixed 
structures. Select any point in the model and use the 

Trace option to display the selected point’s location 

at each step in the simulation. Save simulation 
output, including path trace and assembly position, 
for use in part and assembly design.

Use the comprehensive graphing capability to 
quickly investigate how the dynamic characteristics 
of the design vary through the machine’s operating 
cycle. Plot physical parameters—such as position, 
force, and acceleration—versus time. Compare 
different properties at each point in the simulation 
cycle using multiple plots on the same graph.

to analyze simulations and incorporate results in 
presentations and reports.

Quickly and easily set up dynamic simulations to 
represent the operating conditions of the design. 

The constraint reduction engine analyzes assembly 

constraints to identify the relevant rigid bodies and 
generate the correct motion joints for simulation. 

You can also apply standard geometric constraints 

using the included library of motion joints. Then 
add springs and dampers to define the coefficient of 
friction that applies to each joint.
