Pick-and-place mechanism
A parallel mechanism with two degrees of freedom: you specify the trajectory, and ASOM provides the angle, speed and torque of the drives, including inertia effects.
Example · Bridge construction · ASOM
Rolling bridge with multiple element shadows
Multiple element shadows make the motion of a rolling bridge visible at a glance. With the advanced drive control, the same mechanism can quickly be given different movements.

The task
Understand the motion without playing it back every time
Anyone who changes a model wants to see the effect immediately. In addition, different motion variants are to be created for the same bridge.
What ASOM shows here
- Multiple element shadows show the position of the bridge at freely chosen points in time.
- New movements are created by connecting and disconnecting sections of the drive control.
- Combined constraints define the initial state; constraints and auxiliary elements can be hidden.
Your benefits
Understand and vary movements faster
You assess changes at a glance and arrive at the right movement faster.
Assess changes instantly
The shadows show the effect of every change immediately. More on presentation
Variants without rebuilding
New movements are created from existing sections instead of from a new model. More on motion sequences
Clearly presented
With auxiliary elements hidden, the model is quickly understood in meetings too.

Truck lift gate
Two hydraulic cylinders open the gate and raise and lower the platform. ASOM combines the partial movements into one motion sequence and calculates the bearing forces with friction.
