NewASOMv10.5 – syntheses now also for existing linkages Kinematics software for linkages and mechanisms

One change. Every scenario. Visible instantly.

A scenario combines everything that acts at the same time: a car on a slope, snow on the tailgate, −30 °C and much more. You create as many scenarios as you need, and ASOM calculates all of them at once. You see every change to joints, gas springs or drives immediately – in every scenario.

Why ASOM

One joint moves – and everything has to be checked again?

Kinematic tasks can be real time sinks. Even small changes affect end positions, mounting zones and forces. Add springs, gas springs, friction and tolerances, and it often takes months to find a viable solution.

ASOM takes a different approach: the software maintains what is already right and shows you the complete motion sequence immediately with every change. This keeps complexity manageable – from the first draft to the final decision.

01Keep what works

Syntheses maintain what you specify: positions, holding forces, springs. You change the geometry – your requirements remain fulfilled.
02See every change instantly

Motion, trajectories, diagrams and forces are recalculated in real time, even while you drag a joint with the mouse.
03All scenarios at once

Each scenario combines what you need: inclination, temperature, additional loads such as snow, spring and gas spring variants, tolerances, drive variants, opening or closing, with or without friction – and much more. All scenarios appear together in the same diagram.

Try it yourself

Drag a joint.

This is what real time feels like: move the joints of this four-bar linkage with your mouse or finger. Coupler curve, transmission angle and diagram are recalculated with every movement.

ASOMv10 features

From first draft to final decision

Build the model, design the linkage, calculate forces, control motion sequences and present results – all in one software for planar kinematics.

Synthesis for a car seat mechanism in ASOMv10: properties of a plane condition and the dialog for the adjustment order of the joint positions

Design

You set the goal. ASOM finds the linkage.

Define where a part needs to go. ASOM creates a suitable linkage and maintains your requirements while you continue to optimize.

Know the forces – in every scenario

Manual, drive and joint forces for every position, with springs, gas springs, friction and inertia. All scenarios appear in the same diagram.

From a simple lever to a complex mechanism

Gears, belt transmissions, curved guides and contours – in linkages with any degree of freedom. You import mounting zones from DXF files or images.

Program motion sequences graphically

Partial movements run in parallel, wait for events or branch into alternative motion sequences.

Results right on the model

Trajectories, positions and forces on the canvas, as many diagrams as you need – all in real time and ready to present.

Your know-how in the software

Your own calculations with the scripting language, drawings from CAD, results to Excel and automation via COM.

Kinematics is part of every industry

Seat adjustment, tailgate or hospital bed: ASOM is used wherever joints, springs and drives work together. Take a look at some examples.
