ADM701

Complete Multibody Dynamics Analysis with Adams

5 Day Course - 5 CPD Points - Pretoria

COURSE INFORMATION

ECSA CPD approved course (5 credits) - SAIMechE-1285-04/22

Adams is the most widely used Multibody dynamics and motion analysis software in the world. Adams helps engineers to study the dynamics of moving parts, how loads and forces are distributed throughout mechanical systems, and to improve and optimize the performance of their products. Read more about Adams  Course Title: (ADM701)

If you're new to mechanical system simulation, this course will give you the foundation of skills you'll need to begin using MD Adams' powerful virtual prototyping, testing, and visualization capabilities. To analyse Dynamic systems.

The topics covered in this course are as follows:

  • Create parts and organize them into mechanical systems
  • Connect parts with ideal constraints, such as:
    • Standard joints (hinges, sliders, etc.)
    • Joint primitives
    • Complex (couplers, screw, etc.)
    • Curve (cam-follower, pin-in-slot)
  • Actuate a system with:
    • Ideal and complex part motion
    • Applied forces
    • Gravity
  • Connect parts with more realistic forces:
    • Simple (springs, dampers, etc.)
    • Complex based on system states (displacements, velocities, etc.)
    • Complex based on test data
    • Contacts and collisions
  • Measure quantities of interest (displacements, velocities, accelerations, applied loads, forces)
  • Perform static, transient, and linear simulations
  • Precisely control and manage your simulations
  • Investigate test results via animations and plots
  • Manage files generated and used by Adams/View and Adams/Solver
  • "Putting it all together" to complete a comprehensive workshop that tests comprehension of modelling elements and techniques discussed in class
  • Additional topics discussed are:
    • Importing CAD-based geometry
    • Performing cam synthesis
    • Applying joint friction
    • Performing design studies
    • Applying sensors to your system

ABOUT THE PRESENTERS

PREREQUISITES

  • An engineering understanding of strength of materials are required as a minimum to reap the most benefits from the course.
  • Attendees should indicate their software preference before hand although most courses might be scheduled for a specific product to be used.
  • If the attendees will be using software not supplied by SIMTEQ, they should bring their own computers with their licensed software installed and activated on it.
  • More information is available on request for users of non-SIMTEQ supplied software to ensure they have the correct functional knowledge of their software user interfaces to complete the provided exercises unassisted.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

  • "The friendliness of the instructors and the rest of the staff was exceptional. The training was thorough and covered a lot of key aspects to kick-start one into efficient usage of NX within the time of training.
    The lessons were engaging and to-the-point.    PS: The food was very good as well.    " - Theo van der Berg, WJ Engineering
  • "The course is well presented. I also enjoy the focus on the limitation of FEM.It was one of the better courses I've attended in recent years." - Jannie Potgieter, Booyco Egnineering
  • "Excellent course. Gives the basics of FEM and the possible shortfalls." - Mohamed Jogiat, Transnet
