Ansys Motion
Ansys Motion - Enterprise Multibody Dynamics Simulation Software
Ansys Motion is multibody dynamics software for mechanisms, drivetrains and vehicles. It analyses rigid and flexible bodies together in a single solver, so system motion, stress, vibration and fatigue are evaluated in one model rather than across separate tools.
Motion runs in the same interface as Ansys Mechanical, and one model can be reused for many purposes.
Ansys Motion 2026 R1
- Drivetrain Toolkit: better planetary gear set handling and tolerance modelling across all gear sets.
- Modal flex bodies: Suppress Deformation shows FE bodies as wireframe during animation to save resources.
- Film roll simulation: a new solver command, ctpredlv, can cut solve time by 40%.

Ansys Motion Enterprise
Every Motion capability, including the Links, Drivetrain, Car and EasyFlex toolkits, plus app generation and AI/ML features for robust design optimisation.
Ansys Motion Premium
All general Motion capabilities, without the toolkits.
Ansys Motion Pro
Core multibody dynamics simulation, without toolkits or advanced features.
Rigid and Flexible Bodies in One Solver
Rigid bodies connect through joints, bushings, contacts and user-defined expressions, with smooth surface-to-surface contact. FE dynamics brings flexible bodies into the same system, solved with a stable implicit integrator, and shared- and distributed-memory parallel processing speeds up large models.
Drivetrains, Gears, Chains and Tracked Vehicles
Toolkits cover gear trains and drivetrain noise and vibration, chains and belts, vehicles, and tracked vehicles through the Links modeller.
Common Multibody Dynamics Consultation Topics
- Mechanism motion: kinematics and loads in linkages and actuators.
- Gearboxes and drivetrains: gear loads and vibration.
- Chain and belt drives: tension and dynamic behaviour.
- Vehicle dynamics: ride and handling studies.
