The 7th IFToMM Conference on Mechanisms, Transmission and Applications

SPECIAL WORKSHOP (FREE)

Workshop for the analysis and design of mechanisms using Mechanism Developer Software - MechDev

Organizer: Mathias Hüsing, RWTH Aachen University, Germany.

Date: Thursday, September 4th 2025 - Time: 10am - 4pm

Venue: Meeting room E2-205, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Building 3, National Central University

Lunch and coffee breaks will be arranged.

Note: you can register and participate weither or not you have attended the MeTrApp 2025.

Abstract:

The new tool “Mechanism Developer” (MechDev) can be used to analyse and synthesize planar mechanisms with one or more degrees of freedom. MechDev is a very powerful tool that is highly intuitive and easy to use. The aim is to make the analysis and design of mechanisms accessible to a wide range of users. Even without an in-depth background in mechanism technology, users can design motion systems quickly and efficiently.

  • Participants learn interactively in the one-day workshop

  • Software interface and operation of MechDev

  • Generation of simple mechanism-elements and mechanisms

  • Kinetostatic investigations and spring-assisted systems

  • Simulation of mechanisms with several degrees of freedom

  • Application of motion laws for controlled servo drives

  • Synthesis and analysis of cam mechanisms

  • Example applications from different industries

Workshop participants should bring their own laptop. Everyone will receive a user license and a download link.
