Screen-Lifting Mechanism
In this example generated ‘on-the-fly’, a screen-lifting mechanism (e.g. for home cinema projection), supported by two gas springs, is animated and the necessary lifting force ist calculated.
Tutorial 9: Forces and Sensors
In this tutorial the basics of how to measure important kinetostatic quantities like e.g. holding forces and bearing loads in the kinematics software ASOMv7 are explained.
Hatch with Tension Spring
Practical example: Hatch with Tension Spring. This example, produced ‘on the fly’, illustrates (although only as a quick run-through) a complete dimensioning process for a tailgate with a four-bar system including a tension spring.
Tutorial 8: Kinematic Synthesis
In this tutorial some first basics on the use of the interactive synthesis features in the kinematics software ASOM v7 are presented.
Tutorial 7: Creating Diagrams
In this tutorial the basics of how to create diagrams and graphs in the kinematics software ASOM v7 are demonstrated.
Tutorial 6: Motion Control
In this tutorial, we explain how to use the motion control feature in the kinematics software ASOM v7 to obtain desired animations for multi-bar systems.
Tutorial 5: Degrees of Freedom
In this tutorial it is discussed, how the information that the kinematics software ASOM v7 displays about the degrees of freedom of a kinematic system or multi-bar system can be used to create functioning kinematic systems.
Tutorial 4: Simple Coordinate Input
In this tutorial the basic principles of numerical coordinate input in the kinematics software ASOM v7 are demonstrated through the example of a simple slider-crank kinematic.
Tutorial 3: Simple Kinematics
In this tutorial the kinematics software ASOM v7 is used to create and animate simple plane linkages, like a one-bar, four-bar or slider-crank system, but also a planetary gear and a rack-and-pinion.
Tutorial 2: Overview
In this tutorial, a quick and basic overview of the most important features of the kinematics software ASOM v7 is given, using a multi-bar linkage as an example.
Tutorial 1: Preliminary Notes
Here you will find useful basic information about the ASOM v7 TUTORIAL series. We illustrate here briefly what ASOM v7 is, what kind of kinematic tasks it can be used for, and how the tutorials are supposed to be worked with.
Interactive Six-Bar Synthesis
Linkages that have been constructed for a retractable hardtop are used to compare the adaptability of six-bar and four-bar linkage syntheses in ASOM v7.
Height Adjustment for Car Seats
Creation of an interactive four bar linkage mechanism synthesis for the height adjustment of a car seat in ASOM v7.
