MECAmaster Assembly is a very simple and fast tool to identify static loads on an assembly connections even on a simple sketch !!
Using very elementary data to work (such as point/directions, … ), load calculation can be used in the early project from the concept study phases for a better efficiency of the project.
From a kinematical modelisation of an assembly, and from an external (or internal) loading, MECAmaster computes (completely in 3D) and draws internal loads exerted on each part of the assembly resulting from a static (or quasi-static) calculation.
On some environment (CATIA V5 only for the moment) the calculation can be coupled with a mechanism kinematics to check load evolution depending on the kinematic position of the system.
