Settings
Horizontal | |
| This settings area is set as standard in TC3 Motion Designer. For the selected load case the horizontal installation position is shown first. |
| |
Vertical | |
| The vertical installation position also takes into account the gravitational constant. This default value for this parameter is 9.81 m/s². |
| |
Complex | |
| Compared with the horizontal and vertical installation positions, in addition to the gravitational constant the complex installation position can also take into account counterweights, counterweight forces and inclination angles. For all installation positions the input values can also be described as formulas, which are automatically applied to the settings areas as decimal numbers. A more detailed description of the formula editor can be found on the next page. |

Scientific view in the settings area
TC3 Motion Designer offers the option to select different load case views in the user interface.
|
|
This is the default view in TC3 Motion Designer. It shows a photo-realistic diagram of the selected load case, including all required dimensions. | Press the button (1) to switch to a scientific diagram. This diagram includes all released forces and moments. |
Application of formulas in the settings area
TC3 Motion Designer offers the option to enter formulas for configuring a load case directly in the settings area.
If the circumference of a basic body is given instead of the diameter (1), for example, it can be calculated with the Formula: 200 / pi | The TC3 Motion Designer now calculates the diameter using the formula. It is represented as a decimal number (2). |
