Abstract

A new method of integrate simulation for the kinematics and dynamics analysis of complex mechanical system is presented in this paper. This platform of the method is based on Visual Studio 2005, MD ADAMS(Automatic Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical System) R3 and Pro/Engineer Wildfire 4.0. The experimental model is built with Pro/E, and then some functions of Pro/Toolkit are used to export file of parasolid format and coordinates of some specified Datum Points. Finally, the coordinates of these Datum Points are written into a CMD file (Commands file of ADAMS). A slider-crank mechanism is used as a numerical example to demonstrate the application of the method. It is shown that this approach is a much easier, faster than usual manual method especially for complex mechanical system which has a lot of Marker Points and constraints.
