Mechanical
System Simulation involves computer modelling
of mechanisms which consist of lumped mass parts,
connected together via joints or stiffness elements.
The system is resolved into a sequence of algebraic
and differential equations using Lagrangian Dynamics.
Numerical integration is applied and results are
returned in the form of, displacements, velocities,
accelerations, forces and graphical animations.
A mechanism can be any system from a small breath
actuated inhaler device to a large passenger airbus
or heavy-duty crane.
The lumped mass parts in MSS models can be replaced
by flexible bodies generated from FE packages
in order to investigate the effects of component
flexibility.
At present, the MSS software packages used by
MVP are ADAMS (Automatic Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical
Systems) and SIMPACK. Neil McGowan was former
Technical Director of Mechanical Dynamics International
Ltd and has 17 years experience of using ADAMS
and all its modules in the industry sectors of
Automotive, Aerospace, Military and General Machinery.
SIMPACK is similar to ADAMS but has more
extensive frequency domain and Noise and Vibration
Harshness (NVH) analysis capabilities. |
