1. WATT 0.71 Mechanism Design CAD/CAE Tool (september 2000)

Invent, design and analyse mechanisms;
WATT Mechanism Design Tool is a new kinematics software package from Heron-Technologies. WATT is a  conceptual design tool focused on mechanism and linkage design. The product incorporates Heron's own behavioral modeling technology. WATT puts the mechanical engineer in charge and invents mechanisms on command. WATT sports a single window user interface. Important information is always visible. User intervention is always allowed which enables a very interactive working method. Start, stop, change, optimize, etc.

Specifications of WATT
1.Definition of required path by sketch or using coordinates
2.Definition of preferred locations for ground pivots
3.Generation of 4-bar and other linkages
4.Optimization
5.Animation
6.Graphs of: Path Error, Path and Output Plane Rotation, etc.
7.Exact coordinates of joints and all mechanism dimensions
8.Supports SI, Engineering Metric or US Customary Units.
9.Definition of required Coupler plane rotation
10.Sketch plane for Coupler (moving object)
11.Import background or Coupler from DXF-file (AutoCad)
12.Selection of input functions (constant velocity, constant
acceleration, 3-4-5 polynomial, sinusoidal)
13.More graphs on velocity, acceleration, etc.
14.More mechanism types such as four-bar slider, Cam
driven, six-bar Stephenson and Watt configurations
 
2. Installation
After unpacking WATT071.zip. Open WATT071.exe this will start the installation-proces. Close al other applications before installation. To uninstall select add/remove programs in your windows control panel. Select WATT and the un-installation proces will start.
