How do you simulate the compression and elongation of the spring? How to generate an animation? Will the Motion analysis be used? Suo powder came with a series of questions to find out.

In view of the problem of the cable powder, the three types of "sports calculation": the difference between the three types of animation, basic movement and Motion analysis, and the explanation in what circumstances are used respectivelysss.

1. Animation: adding a motor to drive the motion of one or more parts in the assembly, we can set the position of the assembly parts at different time by setting the key point. Generally used to generate animation without considering quality and gravity.

2. basic motion: it can simulate motor, spring, collision and gravity on the assembly. It takes into account the quality and speed of computation. It is commonly used to generate analogue animations considering quality, collision or gravity.

3. Motion analysis: kinematic analysis can be used to accurately simulate and analyze the effect of the moving element (including force, spring, damping and friction) on the assembly. Using the professional powerful ADAMS solver, the material properties, mass and inertia are taken into account in the calculation.

Here, take the shock absorber as an example to demonstrate how to complete the spring deformation animation. Please click the bottom operation video to see the detailed process.
