Autodesk ForceEffect Motion is a new mobile simulation app for developing and testing mechanical systems with moving parts, available on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. ForceEffect Motion expands the Autodesk portfolio of mobile simulation apps, which also includes Autodesk ForceEffect.
Autodesk ForceEffect Motion enables engineers, students and technical DIY enthusiasts to quickly and easily evaluate their designs early in the design process, thereby empowering rapid concept evaluation. ForceEffect Motion tackles a calculation-intensive engineering activity where users spend most of their time - on their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
Users start by importing an existing image or creating a freehand sketch and adding functional mechanical joints, actuators, constraints and supports. Within this intuitive environment, users simply tap objects to select, move, rotate and scale.
Real-time solving capabilities provide immediate feedback on the system's performance, which users can then print, email or view as a results report on their iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or any other device with an HTML-enabled browser.
ForceEffect Motion users can more easily continue their workflow by directly exporting their mechanism to Autodesk ForceEffect to conduct a detailed static load analysis, or by sharing it with other CAD applications via powerful export capabilities.
Autodesk ForceEffect Motion also features full integration with Autodesk 360, a cloud-based storage and collaboration platform that helps users dramatically improve the way they design, visualize, simulate and share their work with others - anytime, anywhere and from any device.
