KOMPAS Universal Mechanism Plug-In

KOMPAS Universal Mechanism Plug-In is designed for the analysis of dynamic, kinematics and static systems, developed with KOMPAS-3D. KOMPAS Universal Mechanism Plug-In is made for design engineers who are solving problems of functional behavior of machines and mechanisms. KOMPAS Universal Mechanism Plug-In is a standard application for KOMPAS-3D. Mechanisms are described as systems of solids, joints and load-bearing elements. 3D-model real-time animation is supported during the calculation process. Almost all of necessary values are available for analysis including coordinates, velocity, acceleration, joint's reaction forces, spring forces etc.

KOMPAS Universal Mechanism Plug-In includes about twenty samples of dynamic models, showing KOMPAS Universal Mechanism Plug-In capabilities in the area of modeling of car suspension’s kinematics and dynamics, engines, robots, mechanisms and machines.

• Working with linear or harmonic time-dependent force elements of various types, which are included in a standard database.
• Modelling cam mechanisms and trains of gears by contact force elements.
• Setting uniform, uniformly accelerated/decelerated motions or harmonic oscillations for selected degrees of freedom in kinematic purposes.
• Parametrization of force elements as well as kinematic expressions;
• Creating video (AVI) files with simulation results;
• Plotting graphs of any dynamic or kinematic variable;
• Calculation of equilibrium positions; evaluation of natural frequencies and eigenvalues of the model depending on parameters.
