MTT3D 글 편집

RecurDyn/MTT3D is a specialized toolkit for media transportation system simulation such as printers, copiers, ATMs, within a 3D environment.

RecurDyn/MTT3D (Media Transport Toolkit 3D) helps you efficiently create and simulate a sophisticated model of flexible media being transported by a mechanical system in a 3D environment. This toolkit can be effectively used for models whose 3D behavior is considered important and for analysis of flexible bodies. This can be used for simulation of copiers, printers, ATMs and others that handle media such as paper and film. Simulation using this 3D media transport toolkit is widely used by many global companies related to printing equipments such as printers, copiers.

Benefits

Here are the diverse benefits of MTT3D for media transportation system simulation (printers, copy machines, ...)

  • Simulate the 3D movement of a sheet through a media path easily.
  • Applications include devices such as a printer, copier, fax, or other sheet and film feeding products.
  • Analyze the behavior of the flexible media with the large deformation.
  • Analyze the cause of the malfunctions such as jamming
  • Use various sets of the basic properties of the media
    • Basis weight (or mass), size, bending property, etc.
  • Predict the dynamic torque applied to the system
  • Evaluation of the different characteristics of the sheet due to temperature and humidity extremes
    • Frictional properties (Sheet-Sheet, Sheet-Roller, Sheet-Guide)
    • electrical properties (Nodal force can be used)
  • Various operating conditions of the complex system can be evaluated
    • Different rotating speeds of the driving rollers and the driven rollers
    • Roller control with timing diagram (On/Off, acceleration/deceleration)
