    Starter:

    • User-interface, efficient use of the mouse, editing options and techniques
    • Adding construction geometry vs geometry for solid modelling,
    • Adding Joints and Parts, Adding coincident Joints.
    • Mechanism - basic design principles, DOF, DYADS, Closures.
    • How to make sure the model is feasible.
    • Mechanism Analysis Tools
    • Motion Design - first principles: 'standard' and 'traditional' motion laws.
    • Cams Design and Basic Analysis Tools - first principles, rotating cams, different follower motions and shapes.
    • Gears - Gear-Pairs, Gear-Trains; Pulleys - define Belt-Length, Belt and Pulley Tooth Pitch

    • Model and Design Analysis

    Advanced:

    • Spatial modelling techniques.
    • Robotic actuators.
    • Advanced force applications and understanding.
    • Motion as a function of another motion.
    • 3D-Cams: Barrel, Cylindrical, Globoidal, Scrolls [Feed-screws], Indexing, Oscillating
    • Patterning: Spatial and Timed Patterning for Machine modelling.
    • Cam Analysis and Cam Data Coordinates for Manufacturing,
    • Lifetime Analysis of Cam and Follower.
    • Advanced Motion Design and Optimization.
    • Workarounds for unusual mechanisms.

    Application-Specific and Tailored:

    • We can sign your Non-Disclosure Agreements and tailor a course to your design requirements.
    • We will prepare a course to help you design and optimize a series of interacting mechanisms.

    All Courses are in the UK, or remotely with Teams.
