MotionView is a general pre-processor for Multi-body
Dynamics.
MotionView is a Multi-body Dynamics modeling client within HyperWorks.
Coupled with Altair’s native, state of the art multi-body solver MotionSolve,
MotionView offers an end to end solutions for mechanical system simulations, right
from model set up to result viewing and optimization, all within the HyperWorks
environment.
MotionView has following salient features and functionalities:
Flexible, intuitive, and easy to use graphical interface
Unlimited level of hierarchy
Object oriented Parametric modeling environment
Set up multiple events
Reading of diverse CAD formats
Offers a vast range of modeling elements supported by the solver
Many tools to assist with model building, such as CG/Intertia summary, Load
Export, Data Summary, and more
Highly customizable through its native language, MDL, as well as other known
languages like Tcl and Python
Ready to suer automotive libraries and track modeler
Mult-Disciplinary tools
System optimization using MotionSolve or HyperStudy
Coupling with EDEM for bulk material modeling and simulation
Export to Adams
Funtional Mock-up Interface support
