Motion is dedicated to Multibody Dynamic (MBD) Analysis. Build and analyze systems of interconnected bodies, then view dynamic behavior in a specialized post-processing environment.
| The Motion Preprocessor User Guide describes the extensive range of features and capabilities of the Motion Standalone Preprocessor application. |
| The Motion Postprocessor User Guide. The Motion application supports a powerful stand-alone postprocessor that enables you investigate simulation results and export them as numerical data. The postprocessor helps you to understand the dynamic behavior of your mechanical system more easily. |
| The Motion Solver Operation Guide. This document describes how to run the Motion solver from a command line interface, without using the Workbench application or the Motion Preprocessor. |
| The Motion in Workbench User Guide describes the Motion features that are integrated into the Ansys Workbench environment. Add a Motion analysis system to your project, define and assemble Motion-specific objects, run the Motion solver, and view animated results in the Workbench integrated environment. |
| The Motion Theory Reference. This guide explains the theory and methods behind the Motion multibody dynamics solver. It begins with a summary of the concepts and formulas for generalized coordinates, constraints and kinematics and continues with a detailed discussion of equations of motion for different body types. The guide also includes sections on contact methodology and the use of numerical methods for integration. |
