Apply motors, actuators, springs, and gravity to define the elements for a motion
analysis.
Motors
Use the Motors tool to apply a motor to a hole, surface, or pin.
Actuators
Use the Actuators tool to apply an actuator to features or connected parts.
Coil Springs
Use the Add/Edit Coil Springs tool to apply a translational spring-damper force along the line of sight between two parts.
Torsion Springs
Use the Add/Edit Torsion Springs tool to apply a rotational spring-damper force about the pivot axis for two parts.
Motion Contacts
Use the Contacts tool to create motion contacts between parts or sets of parts.
Translational ICs
Use the Translational IC Sets tool to define translational velocity for one or more parts.
Rotational ICs
Use the Rotational IC Sets tool to define rotational velocity for one or more parts.
Gravity
Use the Gravity tool to apply gravitational acceleration (G) and adjust its direction.
Profiles and Controllers
Motors and actuators have additional options on the microdialog that allow you to change how the shaft moves as time elapses and control feedback.
