Dynamic Simulation

Creation of motion simulations based on


position, velocity, acceleration, and torque as
functions of time with external loads on rigid
body assembly mechanisms.

ME 24-688 Introduction to CAD/CAE Tools


Dynamic Simulation Benefits

• Reduce Physical Prototypes


• Explore Design Options (Early)
• Improve / Optimize Design
Performance
• Validate Designs
• Gain Insights for Additional
Analysis (FEA)

ME 24-688 Introduction to CAD/CAE Tools


Use Case Examples
• What is the time to complete an
operation?
• Will this force be able to lift the object?
• What size motor should we use?
• Will this shape provide the correct
motion?
• How much force is required?
• What is the force being applied to this
part?

ME 24-688 Introduction to CAD/CAE Tools


Terms
• Kinematics
Describes the motion of objects without
consideration of forces.

• Dynamic Simulation
Study of masses and inertial forces acting
on a mechanism.

• Rigid Body Dynamics


Objects that have geometrical properties
like center of mass and moments of inertia
that characterize motion in six degrees of
freedom.

ME 24-688 Introduction to CAD/CAE Tools


Dynamic Simulation Workflow

The common dynamic simulation workflow is


as follows:
• Step 1 = Preparation
• Step 2 = Creation of Joints
• Step 3 = Add External Forces
• Step 4 = Simulate and Analyze Results

ME 24-688 Introduction to CAD/CAE Tools


Step 1 - Preparation

• Group components that have no relative


motion between them.
– Manage using assembly structure like subassemblies in
main design environment.
– Manage “welding” components together into groups
within just the simulation environment.

• Ensure all components have


proper materials properties
assigned.

ME 24-688 Introduction to CAD/CAE Tools


Joint Description

• Joints are links between two


rigid components.
• A joint applies force from
the first component on the
second component.
• Joint coordinate systems
are used to define motions
and efforts in the joint.

ME 24-688 Introduction to CAD/CAE Tools


Step 2 - Creating Joints

• Creating joints is the most


important element of
dynamic simulation.
• Time consuming process.
• Joints control the Degree of
Freedom and assign
properties like friction and
damping.

ME 24-688 Introduction to CAD/CAE Tools


Difference between Constraints and Joints

An assembly constraint only respects


geometry where as joints contain information
like velocity, acceleration, and loads.

ME 24-688 Introduction to CAD/CAE Tools


Kinematic Chain

Series of components linked by joints. An


open chain is attached at only one end. A
closed chain, or a loop, is attached to a
component at both ends.

ME 24-688 Introduction to CAD/CAE Tools


Kinematic Model

Group containing at least one kinematic chain


beginning from a grounded part. A kinematic
model can contain any number of kinematic
chains, open or closed.

ME 24-688 Introduction to CAD/CAE Tools


Common Joint Properties

• Restitution
Indicates the normal velocity of two
components after shock. A value of 1
would indicate the object is completely
elastic where 0 would be inelastic.

• Friction
The coefficient of friction is the ratio that
defines the force that resists the motion of
one body in contact with another. The
most common values are between 0 and
0.2

ME 24-688 Introduction to CAD/CAE Tools


Step 3 – External Forces

External forces need to be taken into account


to ensure all factors are defined that control
movement in the simulation. Common
external forces are:
• Gravity
• Force Load
• Torque Load

ME 24-688 Introduction to CAD/CAE Tools


Step 4 – Review Results

Once the simulation is completed you can


analyze and compare results like:

• Reaction forces
• Velocities
• Acceleration
• Moments
• Displacement
