Course Description
Motion Simulation is a CAE software application used to apply motion simulations to a mechanism model. Upon successful completion of this course, students will understand how to apply and edit motion simulations, use motion simulations to analyze, troubleshoot and optimize a mechanism design, and export loading and other force data for use in Advanced Simulation.
While this course does include classic engineering topics such as statics, dynamics, kinematics, and kinetics, the primary objective of this course is to train users in the use and application of the engineering software package. This course will not serve as a substitute for formal engineering education on these topics.
(The NX 2 version of this class is 4 days and the fee is $1,840, the NX 3 version is 3 days. Prior to NX 4 class was named Scenario for Motion +)
This course is intended for all NX users including:
- Design engineers, engineers/analysts, designers
- Or anyone who designs assembly models containing moving parts
Intermediate to advanced
Note: In order to provide a high quality educational experience to our customers; all students must meet the prerequisites before taking the class.
- Practical Applications of NX course.
- Or successful completion of the Practical Applications of NX prerequisite assessment on the Learning Advantage Website.
- The student also needs 40 hours of recent hands-on experience with NX 3D solid part models.
- Formal education in the mechanics of rigid bodies: statics, dynamics, kinematics and kinetics would be an asset to those attending the class.
Practical Applications of NX is also also available as a LIVE! Online course
