Schatz Inversion Kinematic

Has anyone heard of the Schatz Inversion Kinematic?? Im trying to model its assembly and motion in PRO/Engineer with little success, I was able to create the assembly with very simplified components but was unable to make it move.
Here is a picture but its difficult to understand its motion unless seen moving. I have the gif and avi showing it working but i cant upload them due to their size.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanking you

Hi Taimoor


Can u post assy here or send it to me by email. Then I will check. Plz contact me, where are u in Pakistan??

I am a student doing Mechanical Engg. from GIK institute.

Here are some links to where this principal is being applied:

Hope you find them useful and by the way...the parts i have made are oversimplified and were made just to test out whether such an assembly can be made in PRO/E or not. Still i'll be happy to send the parts over to you for you to look over them.

Thanking you,
Taimoor

i am unfamiliar whith mechanism beside the fact of seeing your parts in motion


but i took a kinematics class a while back and we used paper and pencilto find our results(should have been using autocad - teacher to lazy to learn software) my question is couldthis be used to teach a class in kinematics does wildfire spit out accelerations velocities etc....?

Yes difinitely megaladon, all you have to do is to define the point where you need to find the body's acceleration/velocity. Mechanism analysis will tell you the result quite comprehensively. For example if you need to find the tangential velocity of a spinning disk (v=r*w on paper/pencil) then you need to select a point on the circumference and run the analysis. PRO/E will make graphs for the variation over time.

Any luck on the Schatz inversion thingy? I really need help here!!!.
