Kinematics of a hospital bed in ASOM

Hospital beds are equipped with two essential drives: one for adjusting the height of the entire bed and another for tilting the foot section. In reality, such systems often use spindle drives.

Pick-and-place mechanism with ASOM

Example of a generic parallel pick-and-place mechanism in ASOM v10 with two degrees of freedom. The model is set up in such a way that its drive sits on the specified curve and drives the definition point over the curve ...

Kinetostatic sensor field in ASOM v10

In this example of a four-bar linkage, multiple manual force curves are determined in real time. The concept can of course also be applied to any other type of multi-bar linkage. The kinematic analysis can also be extended, e.g. to ...

Implement joint friction in kinematic models

This example shows how to implement joint friction for revolute joints in kinematic models in ASOM. With the aid of joint friction elements, a pin diameter and a friction coefficient can be managed for each revolute joint.

Rear spoiler design with ASOM v7: six-bar linkage with 3 planes (1/2)

In cases where a third plane condition is not offered by a synthesis, you can, for example, alternatively use our script system together with diagrams, to check in real time how well a middle plane condition is met.
