With Creo Mechanisms Design Option (MDO), an extension to Creo Parametric, gives you extended capabilities to design and test mechanisms under real world stresses. You can simulate the forces and accelerations in the moving components of assemblies and also incorporate dynamic influences such as springs, motors, friction, and gravity.
Capabilities:
Eliminate time, effort, and money spent on data translation and associated errors by using fully integrated design and analysis tools.
Simulate gravity, springs, dampers, belts, gears, contact, and friction without creating a physical prototype.
Perform kinematic analysis (position, velocity, and acceleration analysis) as well as dynamic motion analysis (friction, gravity, and forces).
Compare real-time motion with the graphical results.
