Calculate Kinetostatic Forces Vectors
Use the Calculate Forces button to silently calculate Kinetostatic Forces Vectors at each joint in each kinematically-defined chain.
Kinetostatic forces also calculate the Application or Load Torque that a servomotor and gearbox must make available at the output-shaft to drive the kinematic-chain.
Servomotors and gearboxes have inertia that must also accelerate, of course. To calculate the Total Torque and size a servomotor and gearbox, use the Kinetostatic Torque-Speed dialog-box.

Notes: To calculate Kinetostatic Forces Vectors: •The kinematic-chain is kinematically-defined. •A minimum of one Part has mass. •The Power Source is configured to act at the correct Joint, Cam, Gear-Pair or Spring - see Configure Power Source dialog-box. |
