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
http://www.eng.buffalo.edu/Courses/mae412/tutorials/index.html
Introduce VP to students in Machines and Mechanism Design
Develop a series of Web-Based Self-Paced Tutorials, permit the students to:
Create engineering analysis models
Develop skills for interactive SBD
Develop engineering judgment

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.

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 alternatives
However, is a “black box” approach
Grashof Non-Grashof
Interactively animate motions of the mechanism

Understand various mechanisms
Introduce VP into engineering design process
Build physical systems based on SBD
Phase 1
Phase 2
Phase 3
