How to use Unigraphics NX4 Motion Simulation in Timing Diagram Design Process - Part 5

Posted by Suparerg Suksai

The result of timing diagram design using overlapping motion with fifth-degree (3-4-5) polynomial and linear cam functions can be simulated in 3D motion. The simulation is done using Kinematics environment in Unigraphics (UG) NX4 Motion simulation module. The "spreadsheet run" command is used to control the motions of all driving joints as per the timing diagram. Mechanical Design Engineer can then modify and improve the timing diagram before releasing his design for manufacturing.

Here is the NX4 Motion simulation results.

Online reference for mechanical design engineers. Besides the general topics related to mechanical component design, we provide the techniques with calculation sheets made with Microsoft Excel VBA. With help of Microsoft Excel VBA, we can reduce the repetitive calculation processes. We also show you simple techniques to use Microsoft Excel VBA and Solid Edge 3D CAD software to do motion simulation without using simulation module of Solid Edge. The graphing technique to make motion simulation can be found as well. The Mechanical Engineering computation using Microsoft Excel VBA can help reduce repetitive task as well as dynamic simulation using Unigraphics (UG) motion in mechanical engineering design.
