Mechanical systems engineers who need to simulate motion, forces, contact, flexibility, and dynamic loads before physical testing
About Simcenter Motionsolve
Simcenter MotionSolve helps engineers accurately predict the dynamic behavior of complex mechanical systems using multibody dynamics simulation. It reduces physical testing by enabling early evaluation of mechanisms and capturing real-world effects such as contact and flexibility. Engineers can quickly mechanize CAD to predict how a mechanism operates, study design variations, and select the right level of fidelity to predict loads for downstream finite element calculations, such as strength and fatigue. Simcenter MotionSolve enables detailed multibody dynamics simulation to predict the kinematic and dynamic behavior of complex mechanical systems, calculating motion, forces, accelerations, and reactions so engineers can understand how mechanisms behave under real operating conditions. It supports flexible bodies, allowing elastic deformation to be included alongside rigid-body motion when stiffness, compliance, or structural flexibility significantly influences system performance.
