About CrucibleCam
CrucibleCam provides an integrated environment for the preliminary design and analysis of cam and follower mechanisms.
- Complete motion cycles Builds 360° cam cycles from rise, return, and dwell segments.
- Motion-law selection Supports manual selection and automatic search for compatible motion-law sequences.
- Cam profile calculation Calculates cam geometry for flat-faced and roller followers.
- SVAJ analysis Evaluates displacement, velocity, acceleration, and jerk throughout the motion cycle.
- Engineering verification Examines follower motion, pressure angle, and profile curvature.
- Discontinuity diagnosis Identifies displacement, velocity, and acceleration jumps at segment junctions.
- Discontinuity correction Searches for continuous solutions by adjusting segment angle, displacement variation, and, when permitted, the motion law.
- Solution comparison Compares the original design with a corrected preview before changes are applied.
