Other icons control three-dimensional rotation, pan, and zoom. All AccelVIEW 3D commands can be entered with the keyboard. Wire-frame geometry, including text, sketches, dimensions, and constraints, remains visible even when behind shaded surfaces. Users can work in wire-frame mode and still maintain a current rendered representation of the model in another view port. The rendered representation is automatically updated while the model in the wire-frame view port is edited.
Selection algorithms locate step-motor systems that can perform the desired motion task.
Program modules calculate a motor's pullout torque curve from the system elements and determine the optimal current table for operation. The SCMCad program can modify, delete, search, and sort the material-property databases it creates. Composite stiffness and strength are optimized by varying the geometry of the cell and the parameters of the reinforcement. The program displays the correct Airpel model, outputs an AutoCAD file, and cross-references other manufacturer's products. If a particular output force is desired, the value is entered into the program, and the air pressure needed to achieve it is calculated for the model chosen.
