If you're new to mechanical system simulation, this course will give you the foundation of skills you'll need to begin using Adams' powerful virtual prototyping, testing, and visualization capabilities.
Topics:
- Create parts and organize them into mechanical systems
- Connect parts with ideal constraints, such as:
- Standard joints (hinges, sliders, etc.)
- Joint primitives
- Complex (couplers, screw, etc.)
- Curve (cam-follower, pin-in-slot)
- Actuate a system with:
- Ideal and complex part motion
- Applied forces
- Gravity
- Connect parts with more realistic forces:
- Simple (springs, dampers, etc.)
- Complex based on system states (displacements, velocities, etc.)
- Complex based on test data
- Contacts and collisions
- Measure quantities of interest (displacements, velocities, accelerations, applied loads, forces)
- Perform static, transient, and linear simulations
- Precisely control and manage your simulations
- Investigate test results via animations and plots
- Manage files generated and used by Adams/View and Adams/Solver
- "Putting it all together" to complete a comprehensive workshop that tests comprehension of modeling elements and techniques discussed in class
- Additional topics discussed are:
- Importing CAD-based geometry
- Performing cam synthesis
- Applying joint friction
- Performing design studies
- Applying sensors to your system
