This document outlines simulation demos and educational materials related to mechatronics engineering, specifically focusing on the use of LabVIEW and SolidWorks for motion control and motor sizing. It emphasizes the importance of configuring motion properties for performance and accuracy, and includes instructions for deploying motors within SolidWorks projects. Additional resources and a detailed document will be shared in a Mechatronics Facebook group after the presentation.
