Hello 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Community,

Today, I would like to introduce the 6 DoF (Degree of Freedom) Stewart Platform that I designed and rendered using SolidWorks, SolidWorks Motion, and SolidWorks Visualize, and highlight the features that SolidWorks provided throughout this detailed video.

Designed the 6 DoF Stewart Platform primarily to perform Vibration Tests for Satellites. However, to expand its adaptability to other markets, also optimized and developed the platform as a Flight/Driving Simulator and as an Industrial Robotics Delta Robot.

During this process, with the SolidWorks Motion Animation module, successfully simulated all movements of a six-axis robot, including:

• X-axis translation
• Y-axis translation
• Z-axis translation
• Yaw rotation
• Pitch rotation
• Roll rotation

In addition, with the Oscillation motion embedded in the Linear Motor feature of SolidWorks, were able to successfully simulate the:

• Vibration motion

For the final stage, to realistically visualize material appearances, achieved nearly indistinguishable-from-reality renderings using SolidWorks Visualize.

Finally, by leveraging the Show WireFrame option within the program, effectively showcased the internal structure of the system, successfully conveying its complexity.
