About MotionPort

MotionPort provides value to its customers using its competency in Mechanical Computer-Aided Engineering (MCAE). With over 25 years of experience in the field, MotionPort has both the theoretical background and the practical skills required to apply simulation technology to your design challenges.

Our mission is to enhance your design process and increase the engineering insight gained from it. We:

• Bring simulation up-front in your design process
• Help you to quickly achieve model definitions
• Enable you to perform fast design iterations

We attain these goals by:

• Embedding MCAE analyst's knowledge
• Leveraging next generation simulation technologies

Multibody Dynamics

• MotionPort is a distributor for the RecurDyn software, both selling and supporting the software in North America.
• MotionPort provides consulting services in multibody dynamics for major corporations.
• MotionPort staff helped a customer avoid a delay in a major product introduction by identifying the root cause of the failure in a critical subsystem and recommending the final solution to the problem.
• MotionPort staff pioneered media transport simulation using commercial multibody dynamics software, adding efficiency to the engineering design process at office machinery manufacturers in the USA, Asia, and Europe.
• MotionPort staff demonstrated to a military research group the ability to simulate the mobility characteristics of an urban reconnaissance robot when climbing a set of stairs. Any motion-related or controller design issue for robot design can be evaluated using the RecurDyn software.
