Figure 1 MTT2D example
MTT2D (Media Transport Toolkit 2D) helps the user efficiently works with complex sophisticated model of flexible media being transported by a mechanical system in the 2D environment. Since MTT2D automates:
•Tedious model generation processes
•The generation of relevant output plots (MTT2D improves the efficiency of the simulation process and gives the user time to review and optimize important design parameters.)
•The basic modeling of a flexible sheet, which can represent paper, film or other flat sheets. Templates for sheet-guiding entities such as idealized rollers and guides are also included.
•The contact between the media and predefined rollers and guides along the path it will follow.
The properly modeling of contact on a flexible sheet is one of the more challenging tasks in multi-body dynamics
MTT2D gives a sheet feeding system designer the breakthrough capability of modeling discrete, flexible sheets or continuous strips that undergo large deformations with linear material properties.
