ABSTRACT
This chapter explains how event-based motion analysis (EBMA) works and the role of EBMA in the new design paradigm. Event-based motion requires a set of tasks. The tasks can be sequential or can overlap in time. Task actions control or define motion during the task. The result of an event-based motion task is an action. A task trigger is the event that drives the motion control action for a task. One can define task triggers based on time, previous tasks, or sensed values, such as component position. The simulation starts with a time trigger, which can be equal to or greater than zero seconds. The subsequent tasks or actions are triggered to occur after the previous one finishes.
