Setting Up Event-based Motion Analysis

You can specify event-triggered motion control using any combination of sensors, events, or a time schedule.

1. From a motion study, select Motion Analysis.
2. Plan out the tasks required to model the event-triggered motion.

   The main components of tasks are time or event-based triggers that define the start of a motion task, and control actions that are implemented as a result of the task trigger.

   Task triggers include:
   

   • Sensors with an Alert condition
   • Time events
   • Previous tasks
   Task control actions include:
   

   • Applying or changing motors or forces
   • Toggling mates
   • Stopping the motion

3. Create the sensors necessary for triggering motion actions.

4. Set up the constant speed motors or constant forces necessary to define event-triggered actions.

5. Click Event-based Motion View .

6. Create a sequence of tasks.

7. Calculate the motion to test the model.

• Changing to an Event-based View
  You can set up a motion study as a collection of actions that are triggered by events in an event-based Motion Study View.
• Changing to a Timeline View
  You can set up a motion study by modifying the assembly motion according to position in a timeline Motion Study View.
