Motion Simulation and Mechanism Design with COSMOSMotion 2007 is written to help   you become familiar with COSMOSMotion, an add-on module of the SolidWorks software family.   This book covers the basic concepts and frequently used commands required to advance readers   from a novice to intermediate level in using COSMOSMotion.     COSMOSMotion allows you to use solid models created in SolidWorks to simulate and visualize   mechanism motion and performance. Using COSMOSMotion early in the product development stage   could prevent costly redesign due to design defects found in the physical testing phase.   Therefore, using COSMOSMotion contributes to a more cost effective, reliable, and efficient   product design process.     Basic concepts discussed in this book include model generation, such as assigning moving parts   and creating joints and constraints; carrying out simulation and animation; and visualizing   simulation results, such as graphs and spreadsheet data. These concepts are introduced using   simple, yet realistic examples.     Verifying the results obtained from the computer simulation is extremely important. One of the   unique features of this book is the incorporation of theoretical discussions for kinematic and   dynamic analyses in conjunction with the simulation results obtained using COSMOSMotion. Verifying   the simulation results will increase your confidence in using the software and prevent you from   being fooled by erroneous simulations.      Table of Contents  1.
