I am a student currently working on drawing a displacement diagram for a CAM. We were given all the parameters necessary for our simple example to draw it out. Next we are to create the same CAM and displacement diagram in AutoCAD Mechanical.
All seems kosher except that the terminology that we are using for motion is different then that of AM's.
We have: Dwell, Modified Uniform, Simple Harmonic, and Uniformly Accelerated.
AM has: Dwell, Quadratic Parabolic, Simple Sine, Leaning Sine, Modified Trapezoid, and 5th Polynomial.
So this is what I did:
Dwell = Dwell
Modified Uniform = Quadratic Parabolic
Simple Harmonic = Leaning Sine
Uniformly Accelerated = Modified Trapezoid
Or am I getting that wrong. I tried looking up the types of motion in help but got nothing. Can anyone clear up the terminology a bit?
