LOS ANGELES, CA -- Structural Research & Analysis Corp. (SRAC), developer of COSMOS/ design analysis products, and Mechanical Dynamics, Inc. (Nasdaq:MDII), developer of Dynamic Designer/Motion, today announced the release of COSMOS/Motion, a new mechanical design simulation software based on Dynamic Designer/Motion and powered by ADAMS motion technology. Fully embedded inside the CAD interface, COSMOS/Motion provides 3D dynamic simulation capabilities, allowing users to see and study the realistic functional behavior of their CAD mechanical assemblies in motion. COSMOS/Motion can be used to detect moving interferences between CAD assembly components, show effects of forces and collisions between parts, and automatically output load data to COSMOS/Works and COSMOS/DesignSTAR. "We are pleased to expand our long-standing relationship with MDI with the release of the COSMOS/Motion product," said Barbara Guerra, president and CEO of SRAC. "COSMOS/Motion combined with COSMOS/Works and COSMOS/DesignSTAR will help integrate the worlds of mechanical design, motion simulation, and structural analysis even more tightly than before." "This single-window integration of Motion and Structural analysis with CAD creates a unique synergy between the three products, setting new standards for ease of use," said Alan Wegienka, vice president of Mechanical Dynamics' Design Technology Division. "COSMOS/Motion automatically interfaces with COSMOS/Works and COSMOS/DesignSTAR, allowing CAD users to perform both analysis and motion simulation on their models within the same environment." COSMOS/Motion is currently available for SolidWorks and can be purchased through one of over 300 COSMOS/Works resellers worldwide. For more information visit www.cosmosm.com
