New Simple Motion Analysis Task

Creating a New Simple Motion Analysis Task

1. Unpack the simple1.ctf file, and open the Simple 1 assembly.
   

2. Open the Motion Analysis toolMotion Analysis tool from the Analyze menu. The New Motion Simulation dialog is displayed.

   

   The dialog is generally divided into 6 areas:

   

   1.  Dialog buttons

   2.  Dialog buttons

   3. Motion Control: Indicates the simulation time and speed and enables you to manually simulate movement by using the slider.

   4. Motion Parameters: Defines the type of motion to be performed by selecting the option from the dropdown list and setting its parameters.

   5. The List of Defined Motion Simulation Groups: A group contains a number of components that compose a rigid body. The components in the group are fastened to each other in such a way that no relative movement can exist between members of the same group.

   6. Timeline Grid: The grid graphically represents a motion of a 'motion simulation group' in time.
