Concurrent design and analysis of mechanisms offer significant improvements in product quality while greatly reducing design cycle time. Recent advances in CAE software now give very powerful analysis and design capability directly to the design engineer. The key advances are intuitive graphical interfaces, adapation of analysis software to the design process, and seamless integration with existing CAD/CAM/CAE products. Several examples of concurrent mechanism design and analysis are given along with an overview of CAE mechanism design and analysis software, including Applied Motion® from Rasna Corporation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
