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
