Abstract
Analysis of planar or spatial mechanisms as segments of real complex systems and machines in the domain of kinematics, kinetostatic, dynamic, functional and other aspects of analysis can be done by analytical methods and by applying contemporary software applications. This paper shows some examples of complex mechanism analysis using SolidWorks software, which provides a special module for quick analysis with a visual representation of characteristic data mechanism for different members position as a diagrammatic representation of certain parameters throughout the observed motion cycle. Such representations are very useful in designing mechanisms in the manner of analysis or synthesis. Analysis of characteristic points of moving members of the mechanism with the presentation of its path during the motion cycle, the analysis of velocity and acceleration vectors of members’ moving points, forces on the members of the mechanism, definition of the moment or force on the drive member of the mechanism, the path of the executive member of the mechanism, the possibility of collision in the movement of the members of the mechanism, the geometry of the members of the mechanism based on the required path of the movement of the executive member of the mechanism, etc., are only some of the possible areas of analysis.
