Kinematic Motion Analysis

SOLIDWORKS Motion

Easily evaluate how your product will perform and move throughout its operational cycle with motion analysis using SOLIDWORKS Motion Simulation. Visualise your product moving as it would in the real world and measure the forces and loads on your design.

Benefits of SOLIDWORKS Motion

Realistic Motion Analysis

Simulate how assemblies move under real-world conditions, including forces, friction, and gravity, for accurate performance predictions.

Identify Issues Early

Identify potential problems like interference, excessive loads, or unexpected motion early in the design process without a physical prototype.

Clear Visual Communication

Effortlessly generate animations, plots and graphs that show exactly how your design will operate, making it easier to communicate your ideas.

Optimise Power Requirements

Calculate requirements for motor power, torque and energy usage over time in order to find the right motors needed for your design. Identify peak loads and opportunities to improve design efficiency.

Evaluate Timing and Sequencing

Event-based motion studies help you to plan out sequences and ensure operations occur at the right time without collisions by triggering actions based on sensors, positions and timings.

Integrated with SOLIDWORKS

Work within the familiar environment and avoid switching to external tools so your motion studies can always reflect your latest designs. Plus, bring loads calculated during motion into a structural analysis study in SOLIDWORKS Simulation
