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.

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.
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.
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 ...
Kinematics of a flush-mounted retractable door handle
Example for the design of a mechanism for a flush-mounted retractable door handle with separate kinematic syntheses for the two partial systems (two syntheses “in series”).
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.
Friction on an inclined plane
This example in the kinematics software ASOM v10 shows how to implement friction for slider/rail contacts in kinematic models, e.g. to realize the friction of a block on an inclined plane.
Slide and roll a arbitrary shape on an arbitrary shape
These examples show that the kinematics software ASOM v10 also makes it possible to slide and roll arbitrary shapes on arbitrary shapes.
Slide and roll a circular shape on an arbitrary shape
These examples show that the kinematics software ASOM v10 also makes it possible to have arbitrary shapes slide or roll on each other.
Back hatch with gas springs with ASOM v10
In this example, the ASOM v10 kinematics software simulates a back hatch with gas spring support that has a hat shelf as an additional feature.
Car seat mechanism operated by motor
In this example, the kinematics software ASOM v10 simulates the mechanism for a car seat in automatic mode, operated by an electric motor.
Car seat mechanism in manual mode in ASOM v10
In this example, the kinematics software ASOM v10 simulates the mechanism for a car seat in manual mode, operated by a lever.
Two-point synthesis for four-bar linkages in ASOM v10
In this example, the interactive tool of two-point synthesis for four-bar systems is demonstrated in the kinematics software ASOM v10.
Kinematics of an Umbrella in ASOM v7
In this video the example of a typical umbrella is used to demonstrate how to purposefully create variations of a kinematic system in ASOM v7 in order to find better solutions.
