The ENOVIA V5-6R2017: DMU Kinematics learning guide focuses on how to create and simulate V5 mechanisms using CATIA products. The guide begins with an overview of the mechanism design process and then each step in the process is discussed in depth using lectures and hands-on practices. This guide also introduces the concept of converting assembly constraints into kinematic joints. Additionally, this learning guide provides an introduction to converting V4 mechanisms to V5 as well as the 3D model method of creating kinematic assemblies.

Topics Covered

Kinematic analysis process Constraint-based joints Curve/surface-based joints Ratio-based joints Compiling and replaying a simulation Swept volumes Traces Sensors Clash detection Assembly constraint conversion CATIA V4 mechanisms Simulation with laws
