CADSYN (Computer Aided Design SYNthesis) is a visual, interactive computer
program working under Computer Aided Design (CAD) enviroment, which
accomplishes the synthesis and analysis of planar four-bar mechanisms. The
synthesis tasks are motion generation, path generation and function generation.
During synthesis, the dyadic approach is utilized which introduces vector pairs and
complex number algebra to model the motion. The possible solutions can be limited
for link dimensions, the center circle point curves within a certain region,
transmission angle characteristics, branch and order defects. The designed
mechanism can be analyzed for velocity, acceleration and transmission angle and any
of the data can be exported to Excel® / for further analysis.
The software is designed to provide the user maximum feasible number of solutions.
In four multiply separated position synthesis, if there is flexibility in the value(s) of
one or any number of input parameter(s), designer can obtain different Burmester
curves by changing those parameter(s). Designer can also simulate the kinematics of
the mechanism by using drawing functions that are available from the CAD
iv
enviroment at any time. Drawing parts in the design plane can be attached to any link
of the mechanism and can be simulated throughout the motion as part of the link it is
attached. As a whole, this computer program is designed to satisfy the needs of
mechanism designers while working in CAD enviroment.
