Learn to use QY CAD Motion

Use the following resources to learn how to use the basic motion simulation capabilities of QY CAD Motion.

QY CAD Simply Motion Help

Look for the QY CAD Simply Motion help file, smse.chm, which is installed with QY CAD. The default location is the C:\Program Files\UDS\QY CAD 2022\Program\ResDLLs\0009 folder.

QY CAD Simply Motion Tutorials

Two tutorials are included in the help file:

• Tutorial 1 Four Bar Linkage—Teaches the basic operation of the Motion Builder.

  Look for the training model in the C:\Program Files\UDS\QY CAD 2022\Training\Four Bar folder.

  

• Tutorial 2 Toggle Clamp—Teaches motion simulation for a more complicated model. An animation is also generated. The motion model is built using the Motion Browser, although the Builder used in Tutorial I could also be used.

  Look for the training model in the C:\Program Files\UDS\QY CAD 2022\Training\actuator clamp folder.

  

If you have a QY CAD Simulation license or a QY CAD Premium license, use these resources to learn basic motion and dynamic motion simulation.

QY CAD Motion Help

Look for the QY CAD Motion help file, ddmse.chm, which is installed with QY CAD. The default location is the C:\Program Files\UDS\QY CAD 2022\Program\ResDLLs\0009 folder.

QY CAD Motion Tutorials

Four tutorials are included in the help file:

• Tutorial 1 Crank Slider—This exercise uses the motion builder to configure the mechanism and check for interference.

  Look for the training model in the C:\Program Files\UDS\QY CAD 2022\Training\Crankslider folder.

  

• Tutorial 2 Valve Cam—This tutorial demonstrates the application of motion simulation to intermittent contact problems. You analyze an engine overhead cam system to determine the spring stiffness required to prevent the rocker from losing contact with the cam.

  Look for the training model in the C:\Program Files\UDS\QY CAD 2022\Training\valvecam folder.

  

• Tutorial 3 Wobble Pump—This tutorial builds on the operations you performed in earlier tutorials, and introduces using the Motion Browser for defining the mechanism and setting the size of the motion simulation symbols. This tutorial also contains a model with true 3D motion. You use the Motion Browser to build a motion model from the assembly model, simulate the model, and then create an animation of the pump motion.

  Look for the training model in the C:\Program Files\UDS\QY CAD 2022\Training\wobble_pump

  

• Tutorial 4 Load Transfer—The objective of this exercise is to perform a kinematic analysis on a clamp mechanism, and then transfer the time-based loading data to a QY CAD Simulation study for dynamic structural analysis.

  Look for the training model in the C:\Program Files\UDS\QY CAD 2022\Training\load_transfer_to_SE_Simulation folder.
