Kinematics of an Umbrella in ASOMmini
This example video shows how a typical umbrella can be modeled and analyzed kinematically in ASOMmini.
This website is aimed exclusively at companies and legal entities under public law.
With our examples we would like to show you how easy and uncomplicated it is to use ASOM v7 and ASOMmini. Even for more complex problems, you will be able to quickly find an adequate solution.
This example video shows how a typical umbrella can be modeled and analyzed kinematically in ASOMmini.
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.
This video shows how complex sequences of motions can be created and analyzed with the kinematics software ASOM v7 using the example of a rolling bridge.
This example shows that the force conditions for a six-bar hinge mechanism on the flap door of a kitchen cabinet (see last video) can also be checked quickly and easily with the kinematics software ASOMmini.
This example shows how the force conditions for a six-bar hinge mechanism on the flap door of a kitchen wall unit can be checked quickly and easily with the kinematics software ASOM v7.
In cases where a third plane condition is not offered by a synthesis, script data sources can also be used as an even more convenient way to check a middle plane condition by reproducing the relevant part of the canvas in a diagram and adding some extra indications.
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.
Use the new manual force element in ASOMmini (version 1.1 and higher) to see in real time how the necessary manual force to drive your system with its pre-defined motion profile develops while changes are made.
In the fifth and last part of our series, we will look at the isosceles linkages: isosceles double-crank, isosceles crank-rocker and the rhombus-crank.
In the fourth part of our series, we will cover the parallel-crank and antiparallel-crank.
In this third part of our series, we will discuss the double-rocker. In this type of four-bar linkage, both grounded links are not able to revolve fully.
We continue our video series with the double-crank. In contrast to the crank-rocker, in a double-crank mechanism both grounded links can revolve fully, which is where its name comes from.
