4.1.16 kinematics (K1)

This unit of functionality provides the capability to represent kinematic aspects of a mechanical product as required for the communication between CAD systems and kinematic analysis systems, including robotic simulation systems, as well as between dissimilar kinematic analysis systems.

A mechanism as described using this UoF is regarded as being composed of rigid left mating in the following types of joints:

The mechanism may contain open or closed kinematic chains. This information is implicitly defined by the topology of the kinematic structure. A mechanism may be connected to another mechanism. Both planar and 3D mechanisms can be defined. The rigid left may be described by a 3D geometric shape description. A link may have additional frames attached to it, to allow application specific kinematic forward analysis to be performed.

The following application objects are used by the kinematics UoF:
