Class Objective:

Fastway CAD CAE Training Goals IconThe primary objective of this PTC Creo Mechanism Training class is to teach participants Mechanism Design and Dynamic Analysis using PTC Creo MDX/MDO. Thus, upon completion of this course, participants will be able to set up, solve, and diagnose their own Kinematic and Dynamic Analyses in Creo.

Applicable Software:

PTC Creo Parametric: 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 with the Mechanism Design Extension (MDX) and Mechanism Dynamics Option (MDO).

Topics Covered:

• Fundamentals of Kinematics and Dynamics

• Efficiently Managing assembly Degrees of Freedom

• Advanced Top-Down Assembly Design Utilizing Trace Curves and Motion Envelopes

• Force, Mass, Damping, Stiffness, Gravity and Joint Friction

• Applications include Servo Motors, Belt/Chain Drives, Worm Gears, Rack and Pinion, and more.

After this class you will:

• Best Practices in Designing Assemblies with Multi DOF Joints: Slider, Planar, Ball, Bearing, Pin, Slot, etc.

• How to predict the speed and forces within a dynamically moving assembly.

• How to effectively design protective shrouds/covers around moving parts.

• How to Create High Quality Animations for Presentations, Sales and Marketing Collateral, Website Content, etc.

• How to import Mechanism results into Creo Simulate for Structural Analysis

Who Should Attend:

This class is specifically tailored for designers and those with a technical background and prior experience designing assemblies in PTC Creo Parametric. Therefore, an engineering degree is not a prerequisite, however, an open mind and a creative spirit are!

Small class size was helpful for additional coaching through the steps and class was also taught at a good pace for beginners. It was the right level of detail and practical experience - Roger B.
