Mechanism Design 1

This ProEngineer Mechanism Tutorial Covers the Basics of Setting up and Running a ProEngineer Mechanism Design

This ProEngineer Mechanism Tutorial begins by introducing the user to new Terms and Definitions that are specific to ProEngineer Mechanisms. Connections, Motors, and Grounds are a few terms that will be new to the user. One of the main concepts investigated is how a ProEngineer Mechanism Assembly differs from a normal ProEngineer Assembly.

The tutorial begins by creating a ProEngineer Mechanism Assembly. An assembly mechanism differs in the type of constraints used such as Pins, Sliders, and Ball Joints. Each joint has a certain number of degrees of freedom that it provides.

Once the assembly joints have been created, it is time to apply motors to drive the ProEngineer Mechanism. Motors allow you to specify specific velocity and acceleration formulas to simulate motion. The ProEngineer Mechanism is run and can then be played back to investigate the overall motion. In addition, ProEngineer Mechanism can check for interferences during the motion playback or be exported as a Video (MPEG).
