Mechanism Developer Software - MechDev

 

 

 Organizer:     Vincent Brünjes ,

RWTH Aachen University, Germany.                         

 

Date: Tuesday, April 14th   3pm – 6pm                                      

Venue: Conference Hotel 

 

 

 

 Presentation

The new tool “Mechanism Developer” (MechDev) can be used to analyse and synthesize planar mechanisms with one or more degrees of freedom. MechDev is a very powerful tool that is highly intuitive and easy to use. The aim is to make the analysis and design of mechanisms accessible to a wide range of users. Even without an in-depth background in mechanism technology, users can design motion systems quickly and efficiently. 

  • Participants learn interactively in the one-day workshop

  • Software interface and operation of MechDev

  • Generation of simple mechanism-elements and mechanisms

  • Kinetostatic investigations and spring-assisted systems

  • Simulation of mechanisms with one or more degrees of freedom

  • Application of motion laws for controlled servo drives

  • Synthesis and analysis of cam mechanisms

  • Example applications from different industries                                          

  

Workshop participants should bring their own laptop. Everyone will receive a user license and a download link.
