The linear displacement of the center of link-3 of Watt’s straight-line mechanism
is given by:
Linear displacement = 30 mm + 72 mm = 102 mm
(4)
The result obtained by the drafting method and SolidWorks motion analysis is
found to be consistent.
4 Conclusion
In this paper, the motion analysis module for kinematic analysis of planar mechanisms
in SolidWorks software has been reported. The CAD software can be implemented
for analysis, synthesis, and prototyping of mechanisms. Introducing the CAD software for mechanism analysis reinforces the theoretical concepts of mechanisms. The
process of kinematic analysis is presented using two planar mechanisms by means
of CAD. The kinematic results, such as linear displacement of Peaucellier’s exact
straight-line mechanism and Watt’s straight-line mechanism, are measured by using
the drafting technique and verified with simulation data obtained from motion analysis. The results obtained by drafting method and simulation method are found to be
consistent. In the future, the kinematic and dynamic analysis of spatial mechanisms
can be carried out, and data or results can be exchanged between other software for
co-simulation.
