Altair MotionView Capabilities
Powerful and Effective Modeling Environment
A typical mechanical system tends to have several subsystems. A modular approach to model building lets users have more control over the modeling. MotionView’s powerful environment contains many core capabilities designed to simplify and streamline the creation of complex mechanical models that are required to solve the most challenging problems.
- A hierarchical modeling structure lets users build system level models as a combination of reusable sub-systems and components
- MotionView’s modeling language supports symmetry and conditional logic enabling multiple model topology configurations within a single model an d tremendous control over modeling entities and properties
- Parametric model definitions provide easy analysis studies of model variations
Modern Easy to Use GUI
MotionView’s intuitive layout and logical work flow enhance its very user-friendly interface. This allows both experienced and novice engineers to get started quickly to build and analyze multibody systems rapidly.
- Efficient and intuitive workflows simplify and standardize mechanical systems modeling
- Modern user interface that is easy to learn and use
- Advanced context sensitive model browser helps easily navigate through the model elements with less mouse travel and fewer mouse clicks
Easy Flexbody Generation and Usage
Flexible-body modeling within a mechanical system can be a complex and challenging task since it typically requires familiarity with finite element modeling and knowledge of finite elements solvers. MotionView’s flexbody modeling processes were developed to overcome these challenges while still providing advanced and easy-to-use tools for flexbody creation, system integration and post-processing.
- Smooth and simplified processes for flexbody generation
- One-step conversion between rigid and flexible components
- Comprehensive array of utilities to minimize flexbody pre-processing errors
Automation and Customization
MotionView is completely customization and automation ready giving users control over the both the graphical user interface and the modeling processes. This allows MotionView to seamlessly fit within any simulation environment.
- Fully customizable user interface providing users with the flexibility to modify the existing environment, turn panels on and off, and build custom panels
- Powerful scripting enabling users to automate repetitive modeling tasks and streamline intricate processes
