Pro/MECHANICA® Motion - Details

The ProMechanica Motion Simulation Package evaluates and optimises moving assemblies by supporting driven kinematic and force-based dynamic simulations, in full 3D.

Motion Simulation
Engineers can evaluate velocity, part angular acceleration, part mass properties, point position, point velocity, point acceleration, net force, point-to-point separation, separation speed, separation speed change, mechanism redundancies, kinetic energy, and part-to-part true angles by animating actual CAD geometry, rather than manually interpreting mathematical relationships. And because joint and connection definitions from Pro/ENGINEER®'s Mechanism Design Extension are now inherited by Pro/MECHANICA®, incorporating design intent becomes automatic.

Create mechanism designs directly in the design environment.
Build subassemblies on a graphically oriented "workbench" and then store them in libraries for re-use.
Define internal and external cam profiles based on the desired output motion of the mechanism and input them directly for motion and force studies.
Select one or more sensitivity parameters to vary over a range and then review graphs of result quantities as a function of that changing parameter.
Calculate local sensitivity results at a small offset from the nominal parameter value and visualize whether varying a certain parameter has a significant effect.
Optimise designs by specifying multiple design parameters and a design goal in terms of any engineering measure of merit.
View and store results for any engineering quantity in the model as mechanism animations, fan diagrams, trace curves in a part frame, integrated x-y graphs, numerical results query, or hard copy reports.
Define templates for graphs that are used frequently.
