In the past, simulating the performance of a machine containing both mechanical and electrical components was a difficult and time consuming process that required highly specialized expertise. Today, new state of the
art mechatronics design tools from National Instruments and SolidWorks are bringing the electrical and mechanical worlds together to make simulation easier. If you have a 3D CAD model and a motor data sheet, you could be
simulating the mechanical, electrical and control system performance of your machine in minutes; creating new possibilities for faster, lower cost machine development. View this webcast to learn how electromechanical
simulation can bring your machine to life before you’ve ordered a single part: visualize motion, size motors, evaluate performance, design control logic, optimize throughput, and more. Then reuse the same software you
created for simulating the machine when you transition the design from prototyping to high volume deployment.

This 45-minute Webcast On-Demand provides tips and tricks for creating rugged, reliable, and low-cost machine control systems using NI CompactRIO. This session explains how the flexibility and open
access to low-level hardware capabilities of CompactRIO enable you to replace costly custom circuit designs and create complete stand-alone embedded control systems while performing both hardware and
software design in LabVIEW. Also, see how to partition your control application between the RIO FPGA and the real-time controller. Topics include single-point control, FPGA-based PID, parallel logic,
redundancy, motion control, and interfacing to industrial sensors/actuators.
