Presentation Transcript

  1. KP3213 CAD/CAM • Snapshot Lecture 6 • Objective of Lecture 7 • Understand Assembly Modelling • Learn FEM • Lecture 7

  2. Assembly Modelling

  3. Assembly Modelling • An assembly consists of two or more parts located relative to each other in space • Normally the relative motion is constrained • Most assemblies are fully constrained • Mechanisms are partially constrained

  4. Applications of Assembly Models • Interference checking • Visualization • rendered • exploded • Animation • Mechanism analysis

  5. Assembly Example

  6. Exploded Assembly

  7. Assembly Hierarchy • The assembly hierarchy defines relationships of parts to each other • There can be multiple levels of sub-assemblies

  8. Multiple instances subassembly Assembly Hierarchy Example • Pump Assembly • Link assembly • offset link • offset link • Piping assembly • well casing • well seal • … • Handle assembly • ...

  9. Another View Assembly Subassemblies Parts

  10. Positioning Parts in an Assembly • Parts can be positioned by translating and rotating them into the right locations • This requires careful measurement of relative locations, knowledge of coordinate systems, and entry of numerical values • If position or dimensions of one part change, this has to be redone

  11. Example Assembly Position and orientation Subassemblies Parts

  12. Using Assembly Constraints • Constraints can be used to create permanent relationships between parts • In I-DEAS, these use the same commands as 2D constraints • Typical constraints: • two faces meet • axes coincident • two faces parallel at fixed distance • etc.

  13. Example Assembly Constraints Subassemblies Parts

  14. Animations and Motion • If the assembly is not fully constrained, relative motion is possible • In I-DEAS, you can reposition the parts and create “snapshots”, saved as configurations • A sequence of configurations can be animated

  15. Mechanism Design • A mechanism is an assembly that allows relative motion between parts • The mechanism consists of links connected by joints • Types of joints: • rotational • sliding • spherical • cylindrical • screw

  16. Mechanism Analysis • I-DEAS allows the mechanism to be “driven” by defining an input motion for one of the links • The other links move based on the kinematics • I-DEAS can calculate reaction forces based on gravity and applied forces

  17. Examples (click on the images to see the animation)

  18. Dynamic Analysis • More advanced software can model and analyse complete dynamics • Applications: • vehicle dynamics • suspension analysis • biomechanics • robotics

  19. A Simple Example:Pendulum Dynamic analysis software will generate the motion by solving the equations of motion
