Good morning. I am working on a large project with several moving motor driven components. The time needed to complete a components move will vary with the distance of the move and the characteristics of the motor. There are dependencies between one component to others throughout the process, allowing one part to start to move only after a previous part is out of the way. Hopefully I explained that in general clear enough.

What I am interested in is a Gantt type bar chart with the horizontal axis to be time of a complete machine cycle time and the the vertical axis to be the different components. I'd like to be able to dynamically update the chart by logically linking the tasks, so that if the movement of one component is changed (happens faster or slower) the Gantt chart will update automatically. I also need to see the dependency lines between tasks that are linked together and maybe even see the critical path that determines the overall speed of a complete cycle.

All of this is pretty doable for a project schedule using any number of software solutions, but I was wondering if anyone is familiar with software that allows the user to set the timeframe of the horizontal axis...to like zero to 30seconds.

Thanks in advance
