ASOM – your user-friendly kinematics software
An intuitive kinematics software for mechanism design and general simulation of multi-bar linkages.
ASOM: Well-designed and practice-oriented features for the best possible results
Save time and nerves
Kinematics projects can be real time sinks. Even the smallest changes can cause your entire concept to spiral out of control.
Visual results - faster than in real time
Every change you make to your project is calculated, simulated and visualized in real time - or even faster.
All kinematic components at the push of a button
Use the full range of 2D kinematics for your simulation: gear pairs, belt drives, rack-and-pinions and many other components.
The new user interface for working more efficiently
ASOM v10's user interface (UI) is now even more customizable to meet the needs of individual users.
Example videos
With our example videos we will show you how easy and uncomplicated it is to use ASOM v10, ASOM v7 and ASOMmini. Even for more complex problems, you will be able to quickly find an adequate solution.
Kinematics of a truck lift gate in ASOM
The example shows a conceptual kinematic design for a truck tailgate lift or lift gate, as a linkage (degrees of freedom =2), driven by two hydraulic cylinders.
Kinematics for a door closer
The example shows the externally visible components of a door closing system and the associated forces when the door is operated manually.
Aircraft landing gear with bearing friction
This case study demonstrates the deployment and retraction of an aircraft landing gear with bearing friction using the ASOM kinematics software. The model views the gear’s movement along the aircraft axis and is applicable only during flight before touchdown.
Variations of a Wankel engine
Examples for the simulation of 4 different rotor shape variations for a Wankel engine with our kinematics software ASOM.
Foldable step ladder for a mobile home with ASOM
Using the example of a two-step folding ladder for a mobile home, it is shown how two systems can be organized in different folders in the element tree for the purpose of a direct comparison.
Simulation of a wankel engine with ASOM
Example for the simulation of a Wankel engine with ASOM. For a triangular Wankel piston, the ratio between gear and gear ring must be a constant 2:3. This is ensured here by hidden constraints.
The areas of application of our kinematics software are just as diverse as it is itself
Automotive industry
Pedestrian protection, tailgate, spoiler, pedals, door handle, folding seat and much more.
Miscellaneous
Home care aids, wheelchairs, patient lifts, cross trainers and much more.
Furniture industry
Office chairs, cupboard doors, folding door systems, furniture hinges, folding tables and much more.
We would be happy to present ASOM to you live in an online demo session
You are interested in our kinematics software ASOM, but you are not yet sure if it will meet your requirements? Please contact us. We will present our software to you, without any obligation, in an interactive net meeting and will be happy to also answer your questions.
