Simcenter 3D Secondly, Simcenter 3D Motion Motion Modeling Modeling will convert assembly con- straints into the most appropriate mechanism joint types. After the mech- anism is created, you can then add other motion objects such as springs, dampers, forces, torques, drivers and Geometry-based pre- and post- more. processing for multibody dynamics The motion models you build in Simcenter 3D Motion Modeling are associated to the base design data.
