Synopsis Mechanism Design and Analysis Using PTC Creo Mechanism 4.0 by : Kuang-Hua Chang

Mechanism Design and Analysis Using PTC Creo Mechanism 4.0 is designed to help you become familiar with Mechanism, a module of the PTC Creo Parametric software family, which supports modeling and analysis (or simulation) of mechanisms in a virtual (computer) environment. Capabilities in Mechanism allow users to simulate and visualize mechanism performance. Capabilities in Mechanism allow users to simulate and visualize mechanism performance. Using Mechanism early in the product development stage could prevent costly redesign due to design defects found in the physical testing phase; therefore, contributing to a more cost effective, reliable, and efficient product development process. The book is written following a project-based learning approach and covers the major concepts and frequently used commands required to advance readers from a novice to an intermediate level. Basic concepts discussed include: model creation, such as body and joint definitions; analysis type selection, such as static (assembly) analysis, kinematics and dynamics; and results visualization. The concepts are introduced using simple, yet realistic, examples. Verifying the results obtained from computer simulation is extremely important. One of the unique features of this textbook is the incorporation of theoretical discussions for kinematic and dynamic analyses in conjunction with simulation results obtained using Mechanism. The theoretical discussions simply support the verification of simulation results rather than providing an in-depth discussion on the subjects of kinematics and dynamics.

Synopsis Introduction to Mechanism Design by : Eric Constans

Introduction to Mechanism Design: with Computer Applications provides an updated approach to undergraduate Mechanism Design and Kinematics courses/modules for engineering students. The use of web-based simulations, solid modeling, and software such as MATLAB and Excel is employed to link the design process with the latest software tools for the design and analysis of mechanisms and machines. While a mechanical engineer might brainstorm with a pencil and sketch pad, the final result is developed and communicated through CAD and computational visualizations. This modern approach to mechanical design processes has not been fully integrated in most books, as it is in this new text.

Synopsis Creo Simulate 4.0 Tutorial by : Roger Toogood

Creo Simulate 4.0 Tutorial introduces new users to finite element analysis using Creo Simulate and how it can be used to analyze a variety of problems. The tutorial lessons cover the major concepts and frequently used commands required to progress from a novice to an intermediate user level. The commands are presented in a click-by-click manner using simple examples and exercises that illustrate a broad range of the analysis types that can be performed. In addition to showing the command usage, the text will explain why certain commands are being used and, where appropriate, the relation of commands to the overall Finite Element Analysis (FEA) philosophy are explained. Moreover, since error analysis is an important skill, considerable time is spent exploring the created models so that users will become comfortable with the “debugging” phase of modeling. This textbook is written for first-time FEA users in general and Creo Simulate users in particular. After a brief introduction to finite element modeling, the tutorial introduces the major concepts behind the use of Creo Simulate to perform Finite Element Analysis of parts. These include: modes of operation, element types, design studies (analysis, sensitivity studies, organization), and the major steps for setting up a model (materials, loads, constraints, analysis type), studying convergence of the solution, and viewing the results. Both 2D and 3D problems are covered. This tutorial deals exclusively with operation in integrated mode with Creo Parametric. It is suitable for use with both Releases 4.0 of Creo Simulate.

Synopsis Creo 8.0 Mechanism Design by : Roger Toogood

• Learn to simulate the performance of your designs without costly prototypes • Addresses all the essential tools of mechanism design with Creo • Guides you through the assembly and analysis of a slider-crank mechanism • Describes types of simple and special connections, servos, and motor functions • Allows you to learn the basics of mechanism design in about two hours Creo 8.0 Mechanism Design Tutorial neatly encapsulates what you need to know about the essential tools and features of Mechanism Design with Creo: how to set up models, define analyses, and display and review results. If you have a working knowledge of Creo Parametric in Assembly mode, this short but substantial tutorial is for you. You will learn to create kinematic models of 2D and 3D mechanisms by using special assembly connections, define motion drivers, set up and run simulations, and display and critically review results in a variety of formats. This includes creating graphs of important results as well as space claim and interference analyses. Common issues that arise during mechanism design are briefly addressed and extra references listed so you can work through them when encountered. In Detail If you ever need to model a device where parts and subassemblies can move relative to each other, you will want to use the world-renowned mechanism functions in Creo. Creo’s Mechanism Design functions allow you to examine the kinematic properties of your device: range of motion and motion envelopes, potential interference between moving bodies, and kinematic relationships (position, velocity, acceleration) between bodies for prescribed motions. With these functions, you will better predict the actual performance of the device and create design improvements without the expense of costly prototypes, saving you time, money and worry. With this tutorial, you will assemble and analyze a simple slider-crank mechanism. Each chapter has a clear focus that follows the workflow sequence, and parts are provided for the exercise that include creating connections, servos, and analyses. This is followed by graph plotting, collision detection, and motion envelope creation. You can choose to quickly cover all the essential operations of mechanism design in about two hours by following the steps covered at the beginning of chapters 2-5, or you can complete the full chapters or come back to them as needed. Plenty of figures, screenshots and animations help facilitate understanding of parts and concepts. Once you have completed chapters 2-5 and the slider-crank mechanism, chapter 6 familiarizes you with special connections in Mechanism Design: gears (spur gears, worm gears, rack and pinion), cams, and belt drives. The final chapter presents a number of increasingly complex models (for which parts are provided) that you can assemble and use to explore the functions and capability of Mechanism Design in more depth. These examples, including an In-line Reciprocator, Variable Pitch Propeller and Stewart Platform, explore all the major topics covered in the book. Topics Covered • Connections: cylinder, slider, pin, bearing, planar, ball, gimbal, slot, rigid/weld, general • Servos and motor function types: ramp, cosine, parabolic, polynomial, cycloidal, table, user defined • Tools for viewing analysis results: trace curve, motion envelope, user defined measures, animations, collision/interference detection; analysis problems • Special connections: spur gear, worm gear, rack and pinion, cams and belts Table of Contents 1.
