The respective 3D CAD model of Crank will also get modified as it is linked with the Crank skeleton part.
#HOW TO USE FNIS FOR SKELETON UPDATE#
Update the Skeleton Assembly & run the simulation. The image below shows the desired layout on small screens and up. Solution: Modify the distance between two hole axis of Crank Skeleton by 5mm to reduce piston stroke by 10mm Now it’s time to use Skeleton’s powerful features in a demo project. Task :Design Modification: -Reduce the Piston stroke by 10 mm Modify the connecting rod to remove interference. Run the simulation in Main CATIA Assembly & do the clash / Clearance analysis at different mechanism positions.Ĭlash found between Connection Rod & Base part. Use Mechanism Dress-up Tool to link 3D CAD models & Skeleton parts with each other The 3D CAD parts are linked to the respective skeleton parts. Main CATIA Assembly contains Skeleton Assembly & 3D CAD models of slider crank mechanism. Hey Everyone, I have been searching for hours online to try and find a fix for the issue Im having but nothing seems to work, changing my load order, enabling/disabling mods, uninstalling.

Import the Sub Mechanism into Main CATIA Assembly. Note: Use Simulation command (DMU Generic Animation Toolbar-CATIA V5) to run the simulation This completes your Mechanism Design using Skeleton parts. Ensure the degree of freedom should be “Zero”. Revolute Joint with Connecting Rod)Ĭomplete the SKELETON ASSEMBLY for Slider Crank mechanism.Ĭreate Kinematics joints between Skeleton parts & complete the Slider crank Mechanism. These axes will be used to create Revolute joints.( 1. These lines, curves & planes will be used to create Kinematic joints.Įxample:- Crank skeleton part contains two axes which represents the two Hole axes. Initially the skeleton parts will not contain any Geometry.Ĭreate Axis, Curves, Lines & Planes in skeleton parts (Crank, Connecting rod ,piston, Base) as per the mechanism Design requirement. Design Modification: -Reduce the Piston stroke by 10 mmĬreate Skeleton assembly structure in CATIA V5 which contains empty Skeleton Parts.Simulate the mechanism – Check Clash / Clearance between Connecting Rod & Base ).Design Slider Crank mechanism (120mm Piston Stroke).WE WILL DISCUSS A VERY SIMPLE SLIDER CRANK MECHANISM TO STUDY SKELETON MODELING METHOD
