| Dynamical
analysis for design engineers |
You could take your problem downstairs to the model shop,
have them build a prototype and solve the problem in a couple
of weeks.
You could take it down the hall to the analysts, they'd build
a computer model and have it solved in a few days.
Or you can put the problem into Dynamix on your own PC, sketch
your design in minutes and watch it solved before your eyes.
And you'll have enough time to try alternative designs. With
Analytix' state of the art Constructive Variational Geometry
user interface, you can loop around the entire design cycle
faster than it takes to get down to the analyst's office and
back. |
| Dynamics
breakthrough |
Until now, performing even the simplest dynamic analysis meant
learning a complicated specialized dynamics package. These packages
are legendary for being difficult to use and easy to forget.
Now there is a better way. Dynamix is a revolutionary new approach
to dynamic analysis which achieves a quantum leap in usability.
The user interface to Dynamix is the acclaimed variational geometry
package Analytix. This means that designs are easy to enter
and even easier to modify.
Dynamix is as easy to use as a simple sketching program, yet
has full dynamic analysis capability. |
| Dynamix
is easy! |
Here's all you need to do to create a model in Dynamix:
 |
Sketch your model |
|
Add dimensions to specify
the geometry |
|
Assign masses to points and
moments of inertia to lines |
|
Add forces and torques, springs,
dashpots, actuators |
|
Specify which dimensions are
free to move during the simulation |
Now watch Dynamix simulate the motion of your model in response
to the applied forces.
Dynamix stores a complete description of the model at each
time step. Hence you can decide what outputs to study after
the simulation has been done.
