The Motion Analysis Workflow

The Motion Analysis workflow is characterized by the following stages:

1. Prepare Assembly

   1. Create groups: Groups of componentsGroups of components are created in the Groups Tree.

      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.

   2. Perform Optional Operations: The calculation of motion simulation can be optimized by using the following optional tools:

      • Define permanent connections between entities that are constantly engaged, thus eliminating the need for creating temporary connections.

      • Unselect parts that are insignificant in terms of collision detection analysis and create temporary constraints.

      • Edit spring data (spring data is used when analyzing the assembly movements).

2. Calculate
   Enter the calculation parameters to start the calculation process.

3. Simulate
   The movement is simulated according to the calculation results.
