2.1.5. From SolidWorks

Integration with SolidWorks software can be used to obtain data to accurately
size motors, drives, and accessories for mechanically complex applications.
SolidWorks Motion has built-in tools that let users obtain accurate inertia and
force/torque data. Rather than manually recalculating or simply estimating these
values for motor sizing, Motion Analyzer software integrates with SolidWorks
software for consistency throughout the design process.

SolidWorks software calculates torque/force information for the following two
load types.
