Starting a New Motion Study

You can create the first motion study for an assembly by clicking the Motion Study tab to the right of the Model tab toward the lower portion of the graphics area.

To start a new motion study for an assembly:

  • Open the assembly and do one of the following:
    • Right-click the Motion Study tab and click Create New Motion Study.
    • Click New Motion Study (Assembly toolbar).

    The new motion study appears with the MotionManager tree defined by components of the FeatureManager design tree.
