Design and 3d simulation of mechanical transmissions applied in teaching and learning basic subjects of engineering

Abstract

Basic engineering subjects (technical drawing, theoretical mechanics, strength of materials, machine parts...) are taught from semester 3 for engineering students. In these basic subjects, students begin to approach 2D drawings of objects and structures. Most students find it difficult to visualize the shape and application of objects in reality. Currently, 3D mechanical software is developing strongly, diverse in types, and applications are increasingly rich, from drawing 3D shapes, assembling parts into structures, simulating the operation of detail clusters to the operation of machines. Calculating the dimensions of mechanical transmissions and simulating their shape and operation will help learning and teaching basic engineering subjects become more vivid. Students can approach examples of objects in lessons more easily when they have not been exposed to reality, increasing the effectiveness of learning and teaching.
