Ch Mechanism Toolkit 1.0 released
DAVIS, Calif., April 23, 2004 -
SoftIntegration, Inc., the leader of
scripting technology for ubiquitous computing, today announced
the release of Ch Mechanism Toolkit.
Ch Mechanism Toolkit is for mechanism design and analysis.
It contains many mechanism classes and objects for
design and analysis of commonly used mechanisms such as
fourbar linkage, five-bar linkage, six-bar linkage,
crank-slider mechanism, and cam-follower system.
Ch Mechanism Toolkit is based on C/C++ interpreter Ch.
With Ch user-friendly high-level numerical and graphical plotting extensions,
as well as easy to use QuickAnimation for animation of mechanisms,
Ch Mechanism Toolkit can be conveniently used for
Web-based mechanism design and analysis of many different mechanisms.
Ch Mechanism Toolkit comes with the source code and examples. It can
help you develop solutions for design and analysis of many other mechanisms.
"Ch and Ch Mechanism toolkit provide the user with an outstanding
programming environment to develop his own kinematic analysis or
synthesis algorithms, the post processing and animation of the
mechanisms are very easy thank also to the ready-to-use graphical primitives,"
says Professor Ettore Pennestri from
the University of Roma.
"I strongly recommend Ch and this toolkit for all the people working
in the mechanism field."
"Ch Mechanism Toolkit allows rapid prototyping of
mechanisms," adds
Dr. Dawn Cheng, president of SoftIntegration.
"Web-based mechanism design and analysis greatly simplifies
tasks for engineers and researchers working in the field of mechanisms.
It is especially useful for teaching and student learning
of working principles and design of mechanisms."
Major Features of Ch Mechanism Toolkit
-
Variety of Mechanisms
Contain classes for design and analysis of
four-bar, crank-slider, five-bar, six-bar linkages including
fourbar/crank-slider, Watt six-bar, Stephenson six-bar,
and cam-follower mechanisms. Follow the examples
of the source code for
these mechanisms, users can develop their own software for
analysis and design of other mechanisms.
-
Kinematic Analysis
Perform position, velocity, acceleration
analysis for joint angles and coupler points.
-
Synthesis
Perform synthesis of mechanisms.
-
Dynamic Analysis
Perform dynamic analysis based on
equations of motion.
-
Animation
Perform animation of mechanisms either in a local machine
or through the internet.
Easily build animation for other mechanisms using QuickAnimation
in the toolkit.
-
Web-Based
Using
the Web-based mechanism design and analysis system
and Ch Mechanism Toolkit,
design and analysis of
four-bar, five-bar, six-bar linkages including
fourbar/crank-slider, Watt six-bar, Stephenson six-bar,
and cam-follower mechanism
can be performed
through the Web
using a Web browser
over the internet without
any programming.
The user can develop other web-based applications easily
using this mechanism toolkit.
-
Plotting Utilities
Provide many plotting functions to allow output
visually displayed or exported as external files with a
variety of different file formats including postscript
file, PNG, LaTeX, etc. They can also readily be copied
and pasted in other applications such as Word in Windows.
-
C/C++ Compatible
Different from other software
packages, programs written in
Ch Mechanism Toolkit can work with existing C/C++ programs and
libraries seamlessly.
-
Object-Oriented
Implemented as classes for commonly used mechanisms,
Ch Mechanism Toolkit is object-oriented.
-
Embeddable
With Embedded Ch,
Ch programs using Mechanism Toolkit can be embedded
in other C/C++ application programs.
Pricing and Availability
Ch Mechanism Toolkit is available in Windows. It costs $199 for
academic use and $899 for commercial use.
