Kinematic Analysis Planar Mechanism of a Pump Using MSC Adams

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to present the application of MSC Adams/View for kinematic analysis of motion of a pump mechanism. The first section describes the program Adams and its modules Adams/View, work with this module and its basic operation. In the following section there is the kinematics solved using numerical methods. This work deals with the assembly of the models in Adams/View, simulations, plotting of the trajectory of the mechanisms points, and kinematic parameters of mechanism members. The software shows displacement, velocity and acceleration, angular velocity and angular acceleration. Finally, the paper presents the results with graphic representation of parameters such as displacement, velocity and acceleration.
