APPLICATION AREAS FROM ACADEMIC-CONSULTANTS-INDUSTRY-RESEARCH-PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT-ELEMENT TO MECHANICAL SYSTEM ANALYSIS
SAM is available in English, German, Spanish, French, Dutch and Chinese.
The DXF import/export facility lets you export your conceptual mechanism design to any CAD program to work out the details and it lets you import CAD data to easily set-up the mechanism in SAM or to perform animation of the final mechanism. Imported CAD parts may be used as illustrative parts of the mechanism.
Once the mechanism has been constructed and the inputs have been defined any of the following kinematic quantities can be calculated (all relative or absolute):
Furthermore SAM can perform force-analysis, thus enabling the calculation of:
User defined results (SAM Professional)
A sophisticated formula parser offers the possibility to combine simulation results in multiple ways to
derive user defined results. User defined results may also be displayed as curves in the graph.
