Kinematic Analysis of the Press Mechanism Using MSC Adams

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to present the application of MSC Adams/View for kinematic analysis of a press mechanism. The press mechanism is simulated in MSC Adams/View software. MSC Adams and its modules Adams/View work with this module and its basic operation is dedicated to the solution of kinematics by means of numerical methods. Press mechanism works on the principle of converting rotational motion of a crank to translational motion of a slider block. This paper deals with model press mechanism in Adams/View, simulation running, plotting of the mechanisms points trajectory and kinematic parameters of mechanism members. The computer program shows displacement, velocity and acceleration, and angular velocity and angular acceleration. The paper presents the results with graphic display of parameters such as displacement, velocity, and acceleration
