Simulation verification and load calculation analysis of functional test accompanying tooling

The article presents a methodology for the dynamic simulation and load computation of follower tooling. Key geometric characteristics of the tooling are first extracted, which are then fed into dynamics analysis software. This facilitates the creation of a comprehensive dynamic model incorporating elements such as mass, center of mass, kinematic relationships, loads, and driving forces. Subsequent simulation enables the calculation of the driving velocity and force required for the follower tooling, leading to the derivation of load curves. This novel method serves to inform the planning of functional testing strategies and the choice of drive systems, achieving enhanced levels of testing dependability and efficacy.
