Conception mécaniqueEA: Mécanique et énergétique 1 (MRI)

The purpose of this module is to present software tools for mechanical design, from the creation of a digital model to mechanical dimensioning.

Computer-assisted design (CAO1 and CAD2 of STPI cycle)

Volumetric model : Solidworks

• reminder about 3D coin creation,
• recall on the assembly of mechanical systems.

Simulation of mechanisms: Solidworks Motion and ADAMS/View

• implementation of modelling
• kinematic study,
• dynamic study,
• analysis of results

Structure dimensioning: Solidworks Simulation and PATRAN/Marc (End elements)

• implementation of the finite element method for structural calculation
• quasi-static elastic linear calculation
• quasi-static non-linear elastoplastic calculation
• analysis of results

The various softwares are presented during the course sessions with an introduction on the theoretical bases necessary for their correct use.

The evaluation is carried out in the form of a project carried out by small groups of 2 or 3 students and subject to a final report.
