  4. Problem Title B4 B3 A2 O4 O2 This tutorial will describe in depth how to use ADAMS to determine the torque of the motor, bearing forces, and the angular position, velocity, and acceleration of the links for the given problem. Links are 2cm thick and made out of Al 6063. Link 2 is rotating at a rate of 60 rpm CCW.

  5. What You Should Accomplish If you are successful, you should end up with a simple working webcutter model that illustrates bearing force, motor torque and angular velocity/acceleration of your model.

  6. Create New Model Getting Started: a. Create a New Model b.IMPORTANT: Verify that the Units text field is set to MKS - m,kg,N,s,deg.

  7. Change Working Grid Settings • To edit the grid size: • Click Settings menu, select Working Grid… • The Working Grid Settings window will appear • Change the Spacing text fields in X and Y to (10mm) • Click OK • Click View Coordinate Window (F4) a b d c Note: you should see a denser set of dots on your screen

  8. Set Material Properties • A new window will appear, enter: • Name: .Webcutter.Al6063 • Young Modulus: 214e6 • Poissons Ratio: 0.33 • Density: 2710 • Click OK • Click Build Menu  Materials  New a b c Note: If the density is not set the simulation will not run properly

  9. Create Extruded Part • Right click on Rigid body tool stack, select Extrusion tool • Enter 2cm in the Length text field • Select Backward from Path: drop down menu • Click points origin (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)  (0.15, 0.15 0.0)  (0.15, 0.0, 0.0)  (0.0, 0.0, 0.0), right-click to close b Note: When using a command the bar on the bottom will tell you what to do and you can always exit a command by pressing the Esc key

  10. Rename • Right-Click on part, select Part: PART_2  Rename • Enter .model_1.link_2 in New Name text field • Click OK • Rename the Marker at the origin to .model_1.O2

  11. Modify Extrusion Points • Right-click on the triangle, select Extrusion: Extrusion_1 Modify. • Click next to Profile Points text field • Click Read button next to File • Browse the directory for the file link2.txt • Click Open • Click OK • Click OK • NOTE: units in text file are meters! • Note: hit the “z” key to toggle zoom in/out a d b g e c f Note: By starting our Triangle at the origin and normalizing the points about O2 for link 2, the origin and O2 coincide.

  12. Create a Marker • Right click on Rigid body tool stack, select Marker tool • Select Add to Part from Marker pull down menu • Select Global XY from Orientation pull down menu • Click Part_2  (0.04, 0.0, 0.0) NOTE: It’s a bit difficult to get the correct location on the part. Alternatively, place the marker anywhere after adding it to the part, then modify the marker’s position after it has been created • Rename Marker  .model_1.A2 a b Note: This is why the links were rotated to make OA horizontal for the input files.

  13. Add Revolute Joint • Right click Joint tool stack, select Revolute joint • Select 1 Location from Construction pull down menu • Click on any marker at the origin a

  14. Add Motion • Right Click on Motion Driver tool stack, select Rotational Joint Motion • Enter (360D) in Speed text field • Click JOINT_1

  15. Verify Your Model a. In the lower right corner of the modeling window, right-click on the Information icon. b. Click on the Verification icon.  a • The Info Window appears • c. After seeing that the model has verified successfully, • d. click on the Close button b d c Note: The model verification step is one way to find errors in the model definition. ADAMS checks for error conditions such as misaligned joints, unconstrained parts, or massless parts in dynamic systems, and alerts you to other possible problems in the model.

  16. Run a Simulation • How to simulate the model: • Click on the Simulation tool in the Toolbox. • Select Duration from pull down menu • Enter 2 • Select Step Size from pull down menu • Enter 0.01 • Click on the Play button.  • If everything has been done correctly the bar should complete two full revolutions. a

  17. Save Database • Save your database by Click File  Save Database, and select no for a backup copy

  18. Create Part 2 • Create another extruded triangle, with thickness = 0.2, using points: • (0.04, 0.0, 0.0)  (0.3, 0.0, 0.0)  (0.25, -0.15, 0.0) • Modify Extrusion points using list3.txt • Rename the part to link_3 • Create Marker at Point (0.32,0.0,0.0), rename it B3 • Create a revolute joint(2 bodies, 1 location) between link_2 and link_3 at marker A2, (0.04, 0, 0)

  19. Revolve Part • Click anywhere on Link 3. Notice that everything is highlighted and there is a green handle at the end of the y axis on the coordinate located at A2. • Click on this handle and drag left. This causes Link 3 to rotate about that point. Put Link 3 in this position for now so it is out of the way. b a

  20. Verify and Simulate • Verify your model • Run a simulation: Duration = 2.0, Step Size = 0.01

  21. Create Marker • Create Marker on the ground at point (0.26, -0.04, 0.0) NOTE: After clicking on the marker icon, you can right-click anywhere on the screen to manually enter the location • Rename it O4 a

  22. Create Part 4 • Draw another triangle with the Extrusion tool this time with the first point at O4. Repeat the previous steps and read in Link4.txt to correct the shape. • Create a marker on link 4 at position (0.66, -.04, 0.0), rename it B4 • Add a Revolute Joint between link 4 and Ground, at O4. b c

  23. Create Joint between Part 3 and 4 • Rotate link_4 so that points B3 and B4 are close • Click the revolute joint tool • Select 2 Bod-2 Loc from Construction pull down menu • Click link_4  link_3 (point) B4  (point) B3

  24. Rendering Model • Click View  Render Mode  Smooth Shaded (or Shift + S ) • Isometric view (Shift + I) • Back to front view (Shift + F)

  25. Save Assembled Model • To join these location click Simulate tab  Interactive Controls • Click which performs initial conditions solution. • Ignore and Close the warning that comes up. The part is now joined • Click • Enter .Webcutter_Asm in New Model text field, Click OK • Click play to run the simulation. f e b d Note: The warning is stating that the two reference points of the revolute joint are not the same and need to be the same for the part to run. ADAMS will move the two links so that the points will coincide before running the simulation.

  26. Modify Material Properties, Create Material • Right-Click link 2, Select Part: link_2  Modify • Right Click the “Material Type” window, MaterialCreate • A new window will appear, enter: • Name: .Webcutter.Al6063 • Young Modulus: 214e6 • Poissons Ratio: 0.33 • Density: 2710 • Enter Al6063in Material Type text field • Click Apply to update the material values • Repeat this step for link_3 and link_4. Note: If you choose the option of just entering density, the Links will have significant deformation during the run.

  27. Measure Motor Torque • Right Click Motion and select Motion: Motion_1  Measure • Enter .Webcutter_Asm.Torque in Measure Name text field • Select Torque from Characteristic pull down menu • Choose Z radio button next to Component. • Click OK (A measurement window will appear which will graph torque respective to the simulation b c d a e
