Dynamic Simulation
With Inventor Professional, designers can use Dynamic
Simulation to predict how a product will work under realworld
conditions, without having to build costly, timeconsuming
physical prototypes or waiting for results from
expensive consultants.
Simply add the
driving loads, friction
characteristics, and
dynamic components.
Then, run the simulation
to validate the design.
Smooth integration with
stress analysis validates
component design with
actual load information,
rather than estimates.
Simulation
Simulate the operation of mechanisms and motorized
assemblies to make sure designs will work,
while reducing physical prototyping costs. Compute
the dynamic operating conditions of the design
throughout its full operating cycle, and accurately
size motors and actuators to sustain actual operating
loads. Analyze positions, velocities, accelerations,
and loads encountered by a selected component in
the mechanism.
Output to Finite Element Analysis
Transfer reaction forces from discrete time steps
to Autodesk Inventor Stress Analysis or ANSYS ®
Workbench to predict stress and deflection with accurate
peak loads. Size components, such as pins and
linkages, to minimize weight and material costs.
