MFGE 464 - Modeling and Analysis of Mechanisms

An advanced, CAD based approach to the design and analysis of mechanisms. Provides a study of the kinematics of common mechanisms found in manufacturing environments. These include linkages, cams, cranks, power screws and gear and belt drives. Treatment of topics is tailored to provide the ability to validate results generated using CAD based simulations. Develops the ability as part of a team to create and manage large assembly models with moving components. Emphasizes the use of top-down techniques. Introduction to PDM.
