11. SolidWorks Interface Enhancements a. SolidWorks Model must be open in SolidWorks when launching Simulation tools from Motion Analyzer. b. SolidWorks Motion Study must be set up when launching Simulation tools gravity, SolidWorks motors, velocity and force/torque results plots, and any additional external forces must be defined. c. For single axis or independent axis of motion, enter data into Motion Analyzer axis, selecting From SolidWorks as your load type. In the axis, you may reverse your motion profiles in order to drive velocity in the correct direction on the model, and again if necessary to make the returned data align with the original defined motion profile.

Motion Analyzer 5.200 Release Notes

Known Limitations
1. PowerFlex drives are not supported by Tuning Simulation or in the Bill of Materials. 2. For application sizing, selection of IAM in Power Supply/Accessories View will be updated in Bill of Materials only after user visits the "Configure Axis BOM" tab of the first axis. 3. Kinetix 300 and Kinetix 3 Tuning Simulation are not supported. 4. Encompass partner products including Wittenstein/Alpha, Stober, Apex, and Shimpo gearboxes and Elwood/Getty Explosion Rated motors are not supported in the Bill of Materials. 5. Consecutive Logix Linear elements are not allowed to be imported into the Logix Elements in Motion Analyzer Profile Editor. 6. CM222 motors are only available as 460 VAC. 7. When analyzing interdependent axis of motion using the SolidWorks Simulation tool from the System View page, you may not reverse the returned data in order to make it align with the original data as you can within an axis. 8. Stacked Stages (MPMA series) is not supported in Professional Mode. 9. On launching the product details catalog on a Windows 7 64 bit machine, the product catalog is opened to the first page as opposed to the page containing the details of the selected product. 10. When a custom motor is defined in Professional sizing mode, select the user defined motor series (My Series) independently. Selecting My Series and another motor family will create issues with voltage selection on the subsequent Drive selection page. 11. Motion Analyzer 5.200 does not correctly analyze the power supply for RPS shunt modules. Evaluation will produce an incorrect zero result.
