Kinematics of an Umbrella in ASOMmini
This example video shows how a typical umbrella can be modeled and analyzed kinematically in ASOMmini.
Example Videos of ASOMmini
With our example videos we would like to show you how easy and uncomplicated it is to use ASOMmini. Even for more complex problems, you will be able to quickly find an adequate solution.
Flap door for kitchen cabinet with spring support in ASOMmini
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.
Four-bar system and manual force in ASOMmini
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.
Video series on four-bar linkages in ASOMmini (5/5): Isosceles Linkages
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.
Video series on four-bar linkages in ASOMmini (4/5): Parallel- and Antiparallel-Crank
In the fourth part of our series, we will cover the parallel-crank and antiparallel-crank.
Video series on four-bar linkages in ASOMmini (3/5): The Double-Rocker
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.
Video series on four-bar linkages in ASOMmini (2/5): The Double-Crank
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.
Video series on four-bar linkages in ASOMmini (1/5): The Crank-Rocker
The first part of our video series features the crank-rocker. In a crank-rocker mechanism, one grounded link is able to revolve fully while the other one is not.
Approximate straight line mechanisms in ASOMmini
In the following video, an approximate straight-line mechanism based on Chebyshev is constructed and animated.
Drive functions in ASOMmini
Creation of a simple kinematic system and modification of its drive function with the mechanism software ASOMmini.
Two mechanisms, coupled by a roller follower
In this example, a four-bar linkage and a one-bar linkage including their motion sequences are given. These can be connected in ASOMmini with a roller follower.
Kinematics of an Excavator in ASOMmini
In this example, an excavator arm is animated as a planar mechanism.
Complex planar multi-bar linkage in ASOMmini
The example shows an arbitrary multi-bar linkage with various rotary joints and sliding joints.
Six-bar linkage with ASOMmini
