In addition to constraints and joints, 3DCS Mechanical provides a graphical representation of the motion of an assembly with kinematics options. Creating a Kinematic Motion move will step the assembly through a range of motion while maintaining the other constraints and joints in the model. These options allow the impact of motion to be visualized with Kinematic Animation and measured with the Kinematic Simulation.
Kinematic Functions
Kinematic Animation graphically animates the selected Kinematic Motion move.
Kinematic Motion rotates or translates a part while maintaining the other joint and constraints allowing the assembly to be analyzed at various positions.
