Motion Variables Tab

For 3D and 2D Transient solutions, when the Model icon in the Project Manager tree is selected, the Properties window displays a Motion Variables tab showing Speed and Position variables values if a motion setup has been defined. The tab shows speed and position variables corresponding to each motion setup: Position and Speed for MotionSetup1; Position1, Speed1 for MotionSetup2; and Position2, Speed2 for MotionSetup3. Below is an example with three motion setups.

Note: Position and speed variables are treated as intrinsic variables and are not user editable. Their values are dynamically calculated during solve time and are expressed in standard SI units. While these variables are related to motion setups, they are not necessarily used in motion setups. For example, they may also be used with the transient design's excitations. Like other variables, they can be used in expressions and reports.
