Total Hours: 8

In this course learn how to create and simulate V5 mechanisms using CATIA products. The course begins with an overview of the mechanism design process. Then each step in the process is discussed in depth with the use of lectures and many hands-on exercises. This course also introduces the concept of converting assembly constraints into kinematic joints. Additionally, an introduction on converting V4 mechanism to V5 is provided. The course covers the 3D model method of creating kinematic assemblies.

Topics include:
•   Kinematic analysis process 
•   Constraint-based joints 
•   Curve/surface-based joints 
•   Ratio-based joints 
•   Compiling and replaying a simulation 
•   Swept volumes 
•   Traces 
•   Sensors 
•   Clash detection 
•   Assembly constraint conversion 
•   CATIA V4 mechanisms 
•   Simulation with laws
