Ansys Motion, now in the Ansys Mechanical interface, is a third-generation engineering solution based on an advanced multibody dynamics solver. It enables fast and accurate analysis of rigid and flexible bodies, and gives accurate evaluation of physical events through the analysis of the mechanical system as a whole.
Ansys Motion is a completely integrated simulation environment for both component and system modeling. It provides fast and accurate analysis for both rigid and flexible bodies, simultaneously, all from a single solver. System motion performance, stress-safety analysis, heat transfer, vibration and fatigue are integral. Ansys Motion is the most robust and advanced simulation solution for multibody dynamic system design.
Perform simulations in Ansys Motion in the same interface as your regular structural analysis. One model can be re-used for many purposes, resulting in huge time savings. Specs include the Ansys Motion Links modeler for tracked vehicles, FE Dynamics tools, and more.
January 2024
In 2024 R1, Ansys Motion includes new drivetrain enhancements, new user-friendly guide messages, and the ability to define motion, magnitude of force, and other complex outputs in Python.
New drivetrain enhancements include Tooth Contact Pressure (TCP), Deformation (TCD) calculation, a way to calculate tooth stiffness, and a "tolerance" tab of gear specification. These enhancements provide users with a more accurate and realistic gear performance and durability analysis.
With the Python module, users can now define motion, magnitude of force, and other complex outputs, allowing them to automate and improve efficiency.
Users can now troubleshoot any solver errors with the help of new user-friendly guide messages, saving them time and frustration when solving complex problems.
Ansys Motion is a next-generation engineering solution based on flexible multibody dynamics. It enables fast and accurate analysis of rigid and flexible bodies within a single solver system. Motion can reduce time-to-market by performing system motion performance, stress safety analysis, vibration analysis and fatigue analysis during the design process across many industrial applications. Motion’s integrated GUI provides a robust modeling environment for component and systems that can be analyzed independently or simultaneously, opening new doors during design and analysis.
