Mechanical set: principle of use

Introduction

Mechanical sets are the entities used for the modeling of the devices comprising of moving parts.

Principle

The description of motion in Flux 3D (its geometric and physical aspects) is treated in chapter Kinematic coupling: principles.

Process

The process of a study with kinematic coupling includes various stages, which are briefly recalled in the table below.

Stage Description
1

Geometry building

(the position of the moving part is the reference position)

2

Mesh

(To optimize according to the extreme positions of the moving part)

3 Creation of mechanical sets
4 Physical description
5

Creation of a pilot for the solving (Time, position, etc.)

Solving process

6 Post-processing of results

Units

The units used for the resolution of the mechanical equations are the units SI.

Attention: The distances are in meter even if the description of the geometry is carried out in millimeter.
