Understanding Motion Simulation
Motion simulation provides complete, quantitative information about the kinematics - including position, velocity, and acceleration, and the dynamics - including joint reactions, inertial forces, and power requirements, of all the components of a moving mechanism.
What is motion simulation? What problems can it solve? How can it benefit the product design process? This paper addresses some of these issues and looks at sample problems that motion simulation can solve. It also presents real-life applications of motion simulation used as a CAE design tool.
