Need a software tool for calculating the needed torques at manipulator joints for selecting suitable motors.
A servo motor manufacturer selection tool specific for serial mechanisms, may also be helpful if suggesting practical design limitations, recommended safety factors, etc.
Dear Michel,
For this task we can used Actuator Sizing Program or Belt actuator sizing tool and other. Also i suggest you to see links and attached publications in topics.

Dear Mohamed-Mourad,
For the manufacturer specialized motor sizing program (e.g. SIEMENS) you normally select the mechanism of the mechanical system (rack/pinion, ball screw, hoist, etc.) so that the software takes into consideration the relevant technological factors for this mechanism and suggests the needed data to be filled-in by the user. Then the program suggests a suitable motor, or at least gives the needed torque in Nm.
I didn't find any tool with robot manipulator as a mechanism where the length of the arm (influencing inertia), mass of payload, etc. are taken into consideration.
The following link is a simple hobby "calculator" but gives an idea.

Dear Michel,
I think you can use software ANSYS for your requirements!
