Web-Based Self-Paced Virtual Prototyping Tutorials Rajan Bhatt Chin Pei Tang Automation, Robotics Mechatronics Laboratory (ARM Lab) Supervisor: Venkat Krovi VP in Engineering Virtual Prototyping (VP) – Simulation-Based Design (SBD) – has gained popularity in most engineering design processes. Significant demand from industry for students trained in this methodology. However, not much room in engineering curriculum permits widespread adoption in the lecture-based classroom currently. Tutorials Goal Develop a series of web-based self-paced VP tutorials, permit the students to: interactively explore the process of creating engineering analysis models in integrated VP environment; develop skills for interactive SBD of models; and develop engineering judgment by interactive exploration of a spectrum of exercises. Conventional Approach Virtual Prototyping Why VP now? The availability of low-cost PC based parametric simulation and analysis tools. The capability of integrating multiple functionalities into a unified environment. Issues Limited room in current engineering curriculum. Considerable amount of hands-on practice is necessary to effectively learn the tools. Development of tutorials targeted to MAE412: Machines Mechanisms II. Need for Our Tutorials Our students do not have experience with Operating the CAD application software Analyzing the resulting output Factors impeding wide-spread adoption of existing tutorials to directly augment the engineering class: The vendors’ tutorials may be targeted at more experienced user. The overall complexity and time required to learn these tools. Lack of linkage (to the course material) Traditional Approach Concepts and ideas of mechanism theory are delivered in class-room based lecture. Mathematical formulation are emphasized. Approach limits the complexity of the model handled. VP Approach VP allows us to: Quantitatively analyze complex mechanisms and their motions. Interactively examine many different alter
