Simulation of a Mechatronic Machine Course Information Course Instructor Edu Temeko Author Free FREE Introduction What’s the purpose of computational dynamics? What is a multibody system? Why is simulation important? Applications on multibody system dynamics Kinematics Particle – body – multibody Body coordinate system vs global coordinate system Position of a particle Generalized coordinates Degrees of freedom Constraint equations: (concept) Constraint equations (example 1) Constraint equations (example 2) Degrees of freedom – dynamically vs kinematically driven system Kinematic analysis Jacobian matrix Procedure for Kinematic Analysis – Position Analysis Velocity and acceleration analysis Example of kinematic analysis – Part 1 Example of kinematic analysis – Part 2 Example of kinematic analysis – Part 3
