Mechanotronics software?
(OP)
Hello.
Do you know any good software for mechatronic design and simulation?
I only know the module of NX but I was looking for something more specialized.
Regards

What's the most powerful software for mechatronics and mobile robots?.
With a good GUI, able to design a simulate electricity, pneumatics and mechanics, with libraries of typical components and sensors.
Ideally a software also able to transfer code to a programable device on the robot (I don't know if QNX, VXWorks, Ecos, RTX or something else).
I don't like Simulink because it needs Matlab and I think it's a system bloated, slow and too big, and it's not specialized in this area and you can't create complex 3D parts easily.

I haven't used NX Mechatronics, but how do you compare it to other mechatronics, robotics programs?
I guess it can't simulate any electricity.

As for my opinions on this, I've never used or even spent much time looking at any sort of competitive products so my views would not provide you what you're looking for.

If you want to do something complex in NX you need to use it alongside other program (Simulink) with a Co-Simulation. Isn't it? Or does the mechatronic module also have this "intelligent" scripting capabilities included?

RE: Mechanotronics software?
Anyway, I came to this forum because I'm interested in all software, not only NX, but including NX.

There is a serious advantage to running simulation software inside your CAD package. Either you are directly simulating based on your CAD geometry, or you are simulating, and basing your design directly on the results.
I have just discovered that I can draw force vector diagrams directly on top of SolidWorks drawings. These are parametric, i.e., the force vectors update when I modify the CAD model. When I get what I want, I will make my drawings directly off the same CAD models.
