• Consider piece part/assembly variation and kinematic motion in the same environment.
• Allows defining relative motion between multiple parts/components by using different kinematic joints, such as - primitive, revolved, cylindrical, universal, planar, ball, and bearing joints.
• Allows assigning different driver motion in a mechanism.
• Allows considering variation analysis in both open and closed loop mechanisms with zero to multiple degrees of freedom.
• Can animate kinematic motion and trace the range of motion for a specific feature at both nominal and deviated conditions.
• Can evaluate thousands of outputs throughout the range of motion in mechanisms.

Sigmund ABA Kinematics can be used to resolve complex assembly problems for kinematic mechanisms, evaluate design improvements, identify important design characteristics, and determine optimal tolerances for parts and assemblies with kinematic joints. Using Sigmund ABA Kinematics from design concept through production will improve Quality, Reduce Costs, and Cut Development Life Cycle Times.

Some of the key benefits associated with Sigmund ABA Kinematics are listed below.

• Avoid creating multiple models by considering variation and kinematic motion at the same time.
• Allows accurate assembly of closed-loop kinematics mechanisms.
• Can identify non-build conditions because of actual and accurate constraints applied at specific joints.
• Can evaluate the effects of variation throughout the range of motion in mechanisms.
• Can compare them with the nominal range of motion relative to what you might see in an ADAMS model.
• Can generate automated reports showing multiple indices of information throughout the range of motion.
