3.2.2.4.1.1. Motion Analyzer Load
Selecting the Motion Analyzer load provides simulation using the Motion
Analyzer software load sizing definitions.
Figure 169 - Motion Analyzer Software Load
The load is modelled as two inertias coupled by compliance (the spring in this
example diagram). Inertia A is rigidly coupled to the motor and so effectively
becomes part of the motor. If backlash is selected, it replaces the spring in this
diagram. The two friction components are not yet supported.
From the Coupling pull-down menu, choose the Coupling type.

The load is rigidly coupled to the motor.
Simulates backlash such as gearbox.
A spring is connected between motor and load.
