Reviewing Mechanisms

To review the configuration and motion of your mechanism, you can animate your mechanism to detect contacts and clashes. It is also possible to apply upper and lower limits to the command values, define a frame of reference to achieve the required motion, and lock command values for mechanisms that are partially defined. You can also specify a nominal position for the mechanism, and diagnose computation incidents, including bifurcation and lock-up singularities.
