In this course learn how to create and simulate V5 mechanisms using CATIA products. The course begins with an overview of the mechanism design process. Then each step in the process is discussed in depth with the use of lectures and many hands-on exercises. This course also introduces the concept of converting assembly constraints into kinematic joints. Additionally, an introduction on converting V4 mechanism to V5 is provided. The course covers the 3D model method of creating kinematic assemblies.
