Assignment Kinetic analysis

Introduction

The principles of an Industry Standard Kinetic Simulation Package have been covered in the module lecture material. You are required to produce a simulation of a system of your choice using MatlabSim Multibody. The system should be fully modelled by and unique to you and should include results. The scenario should be complex enough to allow you to critically evaluateSim Multibody as an engineering simulation tool.

The key skills developed in this assignment are:

- Communication - report writing skills, presentation skills
- Use IT effectively - simulation software and word-processed report
- Independent learning - research motion analysis
- Time management - manage class contact, independent working effectively

Module Learning Outcomes addressed in this assignment:

1. User and evaluate industry standard software
2. Assess the need for relevant modelling systems
3. Analyse how certain factors are affecting the accuracy of a simulation
4. Use engineering software effectively and compare exact solutions with simulation generated solution and evaluate differences and characteristics
5. Demonstrate effective research and report writing skills

Modelling Tasks:

1. Simplify the provided IGES model to establish a working model in SimMultibody.

2. Using present theory generate a spring damper validation of the model to indicate you works validity.

3. Make design changes to the present configuration and report recommendations for the requirements.

4. Simplify the provided IGES model to establish a working model in SimMultibody.

5. Using present theory generate a gearbox validation of the model to indicate you works validity.

6. Make design changes to the present configuration and report recommendations for the requirements.
