The latest release of 3D Motion Creator, R2025x FD01, introduces several enhancements designed to elevate your simulation experience. These features provide more control, efficiency, and flexibility in your design and analysis processes. Let’s explore the Top 5 New Features in 3D Motion Creator 2025 in detail:
Creating Center of Mass Probes
Understanding the stability and behavior of moving components is crucial in motion analysis. With the new Center of Mass Probes feature, you can now monitor the center of mass of individual or multiple bodies during simulations. This is achieved by clicking the Center of Mass Probe button in the Mechanism section of the action bar. Once set up, these probes allow you to:
Visualize in 3D: During animation previews or replays, the center of mass is displayed in the 3D area, providing real-time insights into movement dynamics.
Analyze Results: After completing an analysis, you can plot the results from the center of mass probes, facilitating a deeper understanding of motion stability and performance.
This feature is particularly beneficial for assessing the balance and stability of mechanisms, ensuring that designs function as intended under various conditions.
Defining Surface Shell Thickness during Contact Interactions
Accurate simulation of contact interactions between components is essential for realistic motion analysis. The introduction of the Surface Shell Thickness option within the Mechanism settings dialog box allows you to:
Specify Thickness: Define the exact thickness of surface shells during contact interactions, ensuring that simulations accurately reflect real-world conditions.
Centralize Settings: By locating this option alongside other contact-related settings in the Mechanism settings dialog box, the process of configuring simulations becomes more intuitive and efficient.
This enhancement streamlines the setup process and improves the accuracy of contact simulations, leading to more reliable analysis outcomes.
Validating the Model Definition
The application now automatically verifies that your model conforms to standard definitions for successful simulations. The enhanced validation feature in this release automatically checks the conformity of your model as you select or modify mechanism elements.
Key aspects include:
Automatic Verification: As you make selections or modifications, the application checks the validity of elements and their parameters in real-time.
Issue Detection: If there’s a problem, an out-of-date icon appears next to the item in the tree. Click it and select Message to see details in the Error and Warning Manager.
This proactive approach allows you to detect and correct issues before running simulations, enhancing workflow efficiency and reducing the likelihood of errors during analysis.
Copying Links to Collaborative Spaces
Sharing models has become more flexible and faster. The new feature that allows copying links to physical products in a 3DSpace enhances collaborative efforts by enabling you to:
Share Easily: Copy links to components and share them via email, text, or messaging apps, facilitating quick reviews and feedback.
Access Commands: Right-click a component in the tree and select Copy Product Link to copy the 3DSpace component link to your clipboard. Additionally, the Copy Link command is available in the Share command within the Tools action bar.
This functionality streamlines communication among team members and stakeholders, making it easier to share models and collaborate effectively.
Creating and Applying State Sets
Managing different configurations of your model is now more straightforward with the State Set feature. This enhancement allows you to:
Record Configurations: Click the State Set button in the Mechanism section of the action bar to record and store various model configurations directly within the tree.
Apply States Easily: Stored state sets can be applied to the model at any time, providing flexibility to switch between different configurations as needed.
This feature is particularly useful for testing and comparing multiple design scenarios, enabling you to evaluate different approaches without reconstructing models from scratch.
