COSMOSMOTION
 Designed for users who would like to become productive quickly in using COSMOSMotion. This one-day course will teach you how to use the COSMOSMotion simulation package to study the kinematics and dynamic behavior of your SolidWorks assembly models. The course provides an in-depth session on the basics of building, simulating and refining a mechanical design system, from suspension steering system and drive shafts to backhoes, CAMS, Gears, and Actuators.
