MotionPort helps engineers achieve better designs by utilizing 3D virtual prototyping technology. This technology, also called simulation, enables you to:
Reduce physical testing and save money
Innovate faster and beat your competition
Keep material costs in check
Fix your designs before production, not your products after
A virtual prototype was used to evaluate the mobility of this tracked reconnaissance robot as it climbs stairs.
Simulation can help you achieve these goals because:
Simulation-derived information can be obtained before physical prototypes are built
Simulation-derived information can be measured at locations that are not readily instrumented
Outputs from a series of design studies can be produced quickly and efficiently
Simulation can be used to improve the design of printers and other mechanical systems transporting flexible media.
Various mechanical Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) approaches can be taken to simulate your systems:
Multibody Dynamics Simulation (MBD) allows you to predict and understand the motion of complex mechanisms.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) enables you to predict and understand how a mechanical component will react under various loads and operating conditions.
Multi- Flexible Body Dynamics (MFBD) is a combined approach that can be taken to increase the accuracy of your simulation results.

MotionPort provides software and professional services that are needed to apply this technology to your design challenges.
We distribute and support the following software:
RecurDyn (from FunctionBay) provides advanced capabilities to simulate Multibody and Multi- Flexible Body Dynamics.
Femap (from Siemens PLM) quickly and easily creates Finite Element meshes from complex solid and surface geometry.
NX Nastran (from Siemens PLM) performs the analysis of Finite Element models.
Note that MotionPort works with customers in North America. If you live in another region, please click on the distributor icons to the far right to go to their respective websites. There you can direct yourself to the organization that supports your geographic region.
We have carefully selected these products because of their unique synergy which enables robust simulations:
RecurDyn provides loads for use in NX Nastran analysis.
FEMAP provides finite element meshes for use in RecurDyn and NX Nastran.
NX Nastran provides modal analysis outputs to define modal flexible bodies in RecurDyn.
With over 25 years of experience in the field of mechanical computer aided engineering, MotionPort has both the theoretical background and the practical skills required to apply simulation technology to your design challenges.
