Simulation on Mechatronics

Simulation on Mechatronics

Simulation on Mechatronics

(OP)
Hello to all,

Mechatronics is the synergistic integration of precision mechanical engineering, electronics, computational hardware and software in the design of products and processes.

So I think that modern mechanical engineer( Mechatronics Engineer )should acquire competence in the area of Mechanics ( Kinematics,Mechanical design principles, CAD,CAM, etc. ), Electronics, Controls, Computers, and Integration Skills.

I major in Mechanical engineer, now work on this field: Finite Element Simulation systems and its R & D

I am looking forward to being some friends interesting on this area or work also at mechatronics simulation.

Welcome to discuss on this !!!

RE: Simulation on Mechatronics

Hi Jason,
I'm helping out in the design of CNC machines.  My expertise is in software development but because I've built
small yet very effective CNC routers I have been asked to help out in a machine design.  The truth is I never used any strict engineering principles when I built my hobby machines.  I did a comparative analysis of things.  For example, I chose ball screws of a certain kind because they were used(or they looked similar) on machines similar to what I wanted to build.  I never used a formal list of things that need to be considered when building a machine, but systematically created my own very long list of things, and surely, because I'm not a mechatronics expert, have left a thing or two out.  This approach can only get you so far.  

Could you recommend some literature, or a general list of things I should learn so that I can be skilled in ball screw selection, motor selection, back lash elimination, gear selection, friction analysis, and deflection analysis. I would love to have a formal list of things one should consider when designing a machine.  I would like to be able to know enough so that I can plug in numbers into software that helps out in the selection of parts. I don't want to become a mechanical engineer but would like to become an expert on CNC milling and routing machines and presently I can only thoroughly manage the software end of things.  If someone can point me in the right direction so that I can teach myself, I would greatly appreciate it.  

John
