xMotion Design

xMotion Design is a solution that lets you create and set up mechanisms to perform motion simulations. Combining both kinematics and dynamics behaviors, xMotion Design not only considers motion but also the underlying forces to provide realistic simulations of motions.

This app offers these capabilities:

  • Create mechanisms
  • Assemble mechanisms
  • Determine subsets of predefined engineering connections to include in mechanisms
  • Specify commands to define the motion of mechanisms
  • Assess the motion of your mechanisms as driven by the specified commands (kinematics) or by motors (dynamics)

Use the xMotion Design app to:

  • Create kinematics simulations and simulate the motion of assembly mechanisms with different configurations.
  • Create dynamics simulations and simulate the motion of mechanisms by taking account of forces, such as mass and gravity.
Tips: Help appears in the User Assistance panel, docked to the right side of the work area. When you start a command, press F1 to open a topic linked to the command, or hover over a command in the action bar and click More Help to open the User Assistance panel.

To view the complete guide for your app, click a topic listed in the See Also area of the User Assistance panel. The link opens the guide in a new browser tab, that is available on the web. The Help available in the new tab includes all the app related topics and guides related to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
