MTT2D 글 편집

RecurDyn/MTT2D is a specialized toolkit for media transportation system simulation such as printers, copiers, harness es, within a 2D environment.

RecurDyn/MTT2D (Media Transport Toolkit 2D) helps you efficiently create and simulate a sophisticated model of flexible media being transported by a mechanical system in a 2D environment. The simulation speed is very fast when 2D analysis, and it is effective enough for models whose 3D behavior is not considered important. This toolkit can be used for simulation of copiers, printers, ATMs, etc. that handle media such as paper and film. Simulation using this media transport toolkit is widely used by many global companies related to printing equipments such as printers, copiers.
