Challenge

Internal Geneva Mechanism using SOLIDWORKS

Objective: To simulate the Internal geneva mechanism

Procedure:

  • The individual components of driver and driven of the geneva mechanism were created
  • The assembly of the mechanism was formed from applying proper mating
  • The motion study of the mechanism was conducted and results like contact force and driven's angular displacement were exported to excel and plotted

3D models:

Motor setting:

Angular velocity given to driver = 10 RPM

Contact body settings:

The driver and driven bodies were selected for contact
