The kinematics tool allows you to select any trip, and the speed, acceleration and jerk.

Kinematics dialog

When you click on the Calculate button, an Excel spreadsheet is generated providing a detailed kinematics analysis of the trip including:

  • Flight time.
  • Maximum speed achieved during a trip.
  • Details as to whether or not the elevator reached rated acceleration and speed during a trip.
  • Flight times and door to door times from the Home floor to all other floors entered in Building Data using the specified speed/acceleration/jerk combination.
  • Distance travelled to reach rated acceleration.
  • Time elapsed to reach rated acceleration.
  • Speed at rated acceleration.
  • Distance travelled to reach rated speed.
  • Time elapsed to reach rated speed.
  • Numerical values allowing you to plot the distance travelled, velocity, acceleration and jerk profiles for the specified trip.
