This course gives you the foundation you'll need to begin using SimDesigner Motion for CATIA V5. The backbone of the SimDesigner product is Adams; the most powerful virtual prototyping, testing, and visualization tool in the world.
Pre-requisites:
This course is intended for users that have fundamental CATIA V5 knowledge. Experience with Part Design, Assembly Design and DMU Kinematics workbenches is recommended.
Topics:
- Transform kinematics CATIA V5 models to Adams/Solver friendly mechanisms.
- Convert assembly constraints to mechanism constraints:
- Standard joints (hinges, sliders, etc...)
- Joint primitives
- Complex (couplers, 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...)
- Contacts and collisions
- Measure quantities of interest (displacements, velocities, accelerations, applied loads, forces)
- Precisely control and manage your simulations
- Investigate test results via animations and plots
- Manage files generated by exporting from CATIA V5 interface to Adams/View and/or Adams/Solver
*Course does not contain audio/video interactions.
