Meca3D has been designed to model real-world behavior of complex 3D mechanisms.It is fully integrated within SOLIDWORKS and provides SOLIDWORKS users powerful yet easy-to-use capabilities.Meca3D main design features are: True single-window integration Full associativity between the geometrical and mechanical models Automatic translation capability from mates to mechanical joints Friction and damping parameters in joints Simplified definition of plane and 3D freeform cams Integrated wizard to deal with hyperstatic systems Time-varying velocities, forces, and torques definition via an integrated 2D curve editor Statics, kinematics, and dynamics analysis Graphical feedback with XY plots Automatic html report generation Realistic simulation and integrated AVI creation tool Trajectory generation with motion or acceleration vector display Automatic interference detection between mechanical parts during simulation Meca3D will allow users to optimize and validate, in a very simple and intuitive way, the definition of their mechanical assemblies created within SOLIDWORKS.Meca3D is actually used by thousands of students in more than 500 secondary and higher-schools in France.Please visit our website for more information about Meca3D.
