Kumar10 said:Hi guys, I am looking for some advice on animating or simulating braking system of motorcycle. I have to make an animation or simulation of combined braking system for motorcycles, but I can't really find any softwares to do that. Even a circuit design would be which consist mechanical and hydraulic components. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thank you so much.
No, it's for my final year project. I was told by my advisor to do an animation or simulation of combined braking system before he would let me work with him. He just told me to go do it with any simulation or cad software. But I don't know what to use.berkeman said:Welcome to the PF.
Is this project for school? What simulation software do you have available through the school? What are other students using for their mechanical system simulations?

To animate a brake system, you will need to use a computer software specifically designed for animation or simulation, such as Blender or Maya. These programs have tools and features that allow you to create and animate 3D models of brake systems, including components such as brake discs, calipers, and pads.
The purpose of animating or simulating a brake system is to visually demonstrate how the system works and how each component interacts with each other. This can be useful for educational purposes, as well as for testing and improving the design of a brake system.
Yes, you can use physics simulation to animate a brake system. This involves applying physical laws and principles, such as Newton's laws of motion, to the 3D models of the brake system. This can create a more realistic and accurate representation of how the brake system would behave in real life.
Yes, there are plenty of tutorials and resources available online for animating brake systems. These can range from step-by-step guides on using specific software, to videos and articles discussing the physics behind brake systems. You can also find forums and communities where you can ask for advice and share your own animations.
Yes, you can use your own brake system design for the animation or simulation. It is recommended to have a detailed and accurate 3D model of your design before starting the animation or simulation process. This will help ensure that your animation accurately represents your design and can be used for testing and evaluation purposes.
