Working Model ®

2D

The world’s most popular 2D computer aided engineering tool

Use automatic collision
detection and friction to
accurately model real-life
mechanical systems

Track the motion of an

object under specific
simulation parameters

• Powerful physics-based 2D kinematic and dynamic

motion simulation and analysis
• Provides accurate solutions to complex engineering
motion simulation problems
• Save time and money by avoiding expensive
prototyping and product failures

Record and display

simulation data in real-
time
