| Course Descriptions： | Synthetically numerical design of mechanical products becomes more and more significant for rapid development of computer-aided design, ****ysis and manufacture (CAD/CAE/CAM). This course is based on the virtual design software ADAMS (Automatic dynamic ****ysis of mechanical systems). First is introduced the structural composition, functions and applications of basic components for mechanical base units. The students must master the methods of geometrical modeling, adding constraints and loads, post-processing the ****ytical results, parametric design and mech-electrical combined simulation. Explainable cases are some typical mechanical systems with certain complexity for showing how to model, simulate and optimum design considering kinematics and dynamics. After this course, the learners should be familiar with the fundamental conceptions, design methods, development and future trend of virtual prototyping improving the capability of mechanical engineering designs. |

Learning Goals and Objectives
Based on Mechanical engineering and computer-aided design, ****ysis and manufacture (CAD/CAE/CAM), the course uses software ADAMS (Automatic dynamic ****ysis of mechanical systems) as platform for interpreting how to learn and to apply mechanical virtual design. The key points are the methods of modeling, simulation and optimum design of some typical mechanical systems with certain complexity for showing how to model, simulate and optimum design considering kinematics and dynamics. The students can adapt to synthetically trends of the modern design, manufacture and ****ysis in exploring products such that they can conduct virtual, numerical engineering of mechanical systems.
Course Content and Requirements
Course Content and Requirements
This course is based on the virtual design software ADAMS (Automatic dynamic ****ysis of mechanical systems). The learners should be familiar with the fundamental conceptions, design methods, development and future trend of virtual prototyping improving the capability of mechanical engineering designs. They must understand its structural composition, functions and applications of basic components for such mechanical base units as link mechani**, cam mechani** and gear pair. After being familiar with the software interface, the students should master virtual design process: geometrical modeling, adding constraints and loads, post-processing the ****ytical results, parametric design and mach-electrical combined simulation for some typical mechani**s. Resultant reports include animation, graph and word summation to interpret the physical machines.
As one computer application in mechanical design, this course arranges a great amount of computer exercises so that they become familiar with the software solving some difficult questions for comprehensive study.
