Evaluating Motors For a Latch Mechanism

Rajiv Dixit_21408

Overview

Latch mechanism is an electromechanical assembly present in doors in general, including in cars, houses, aircraft, and others. 

• The one presented here is based on a ratchet mechanism, allowing motion in only one direction caused by an axis torque.

• The aim of this analysis is evaluating two different electrical motors triggered by a remote key that provides a voltage to open the latch mechanism.

This model demonstrates the following concepts:

• How to model a Latch mechanism using Inspire Motion.

• How to model an electrical circuit using Block diagram using Activate.

• How to integrate the electrical system through the mechanical utilizing a Closed Loop using Activate.

• How to run a co-simulation between MotionSolve and Activate.
