Lab 13: Analysis and Reviewing Results

Objective
This lab will focus on running dynamic analyses The results of these analyses will be reviewed through animating the system and !lotting force results through the "irtual Lab #ra!hing utility

Lab 13 Agenda
1 Run a dynamic analysis on the assembled system $ Plot the force results re!orted in %oom$&swing&revolute 3 Re!lace %oom$&swing&revolute with a bushing force ' Re!lace cylindrical joint %oom$&swing&cylindrical with a bushing force ( Run a dynamic analysis and review the force results calculated for the bushing force elements ) *dit the dam!ing coefficient used in the bushing force elements + Run a dynamic analysis and review the force results in the bushing force elements
