I have a planar mechanism (for example a four-bar linkage) with joint clearances. I want to model this in a software. In ADAMS I don't find any options for clearance. Who can help me with this?
this software allow you to make a simulation of the joint with your real data then you can analysis the presure or the other thing which is in this sofware. but this software is not sport software so it can not do clearance directly, if you a bit play with it then you find the undirect way.
on the other hand the other special software of sport biomechanic can help you in this case.
you can easily model this 4bar linkage in adams and measure it's kinematics and kinetics parameters, if you got any problems with this i can help you out in this.
and also there's a paper i hope it helps you out in your way:
You can model the revolute joint by establishing a dynamics model using FORTRAN or matlab programing language. You can also do re-development by the interface in the ADAMS.
