What is the difference between COSMOSMotion and the motion I see in the SolidWorks assembly modeler?
COSMOSMotion takes physics (forces, moments, gravity) into account and the assembly modeler does not. Inside modern assembly modelers you can see system motion by modifying parametrics or dragging parts of the model. With assembly module motion you can extend the assembly model with multiple actuators (e.g. motors) and springs to see the mechanism move as it would in the real world. Interference detection and AVI movies help you identify problems and communicate those problems to others. There is a dramatic difference between the motion you see in the assembly model and COSMOSMotion. The assembly modeler can not simulate the gears, cams, latches, forces, etc. available in COSMOSMotion or produce engineering data that can be viewed in XY plots.
