Key termsSpeed, velocity, acceleration, and instantaneous center of rotation play a prominent role in speed and acceleration probes and need to be defined more accurately.
Speed and Acceleration Probe DefinitionSpeed and accelerations of a specified point with X, Y, and Z components are calculated with respect to a reference product along an axis system. Two types of speed and accelerations can be measured with the Speed and Acceleration probe:
The result of the probe with X, Y, and Z components are calculated with respect to the axis system of the main product or another axis system defined by the user. Result of the ProbeThe table below summarizes the result values of the speed and acceleration probe that are listed in the Probe Result Display dialog box.
Here is an example of a speed and acceleration result: |
