Assign movement axes to your DT model with GUI-based Kinematization​

[OliverSteddin]

A digital twin is more than just 3D modeling.

To reflect the custom machine, its kinematics are to be kinematize in the 3D model. And here is how easy and straight-forward this is done in EcoStruxure Machine Expert Twin. First make sure you imported the parts you like to see moving as separate meshes. Select the parts you like to assign a kinematic axis to. All child elements will be automatically considered.

Now, add a kinematic axis and configure its movement properties. In our example we added a translational movement in X axis to the cartesian robot and applied some limits to the movement, to restrict its movement to the preferred range of positions.

Easy, fast, and clear, don’t you think so? 

We would be delighted to hear your views on the potential impact of digital twin technology on your daily work!
