SAM 7.0 is now available</h2>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>User Defined Results</b> (only in SAM Professional)<br /><i>A sophisticated formula parser offers the possibility to combine simulation results in multiple ways to derive user defined results.</i></li>
<li><b>Constrained Optimization</b> (only in SAM Professional)<br /><i>The feature of User Defined Results opens the path to perform constrained optimization by adding the constraint condition as a penalty function to the original function one is optimizing.</i></li>
<li><b>Easy Calculation of Bearing Forces in Moving Joints</b><br /><i>The calculation of bearing forces in joints is now equally easy for fixed and for moving joints. In previous versions of SAM the calculation of bearing forces in moving joints required manual steps, which have been eliminated.</i></li>
<li><b>New Transformation & Grouping Commands</b><br /><i>New transformation (mirror, translation, rotation, ..) and grouping commands have been added that allow the user to easily modify elements/mechanisms but also graphical items.</i></li>
<li><b>New Licensing System</b><br /><i>The new licensing system supports node-locked licenses and floating licenses. It is a two-step approach in which customers first receive an activation ticket. During the activation process, which requires internet access to send information to our central license manager, the final license will be generated and send to the customer.</i></li>
<li><b>Various Smaller Enhancements</b><br /><i>Display of a scale; export selection & reordering of a subset of results; when exporting a mechanism as DXF file also the displayed trajectories/path(s) are exported, ...</i></li>
</ul>

<h2>
Annual License is now available</h2>
In order to better meet the needs of our customers we have introduced the concept of ANNUAL LICENSES next to the already existing PERPETUAL LICENSES.<br />
<br />
It is now possible to obtain an annual license without any entry fee or obligation to continue after one year. Neither is there any automatic continuation of the license period. An annual license is always based on the latest available version of the software, so you are always up-to-date.<br />

New Video Added</h2>
Simulation using belts and chains added. Go to our <a href="http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfZCz5P4jLOadaUzq1ngSSw?feature=mhee">Youtube channel</a>.</div>

<h2>
SAM 6.1.55 is available</h2>
The following issues are solved in this update: <br />
<ul>
<li>"Division by zero" crash in case the Snap-To-Coordinate grid size is accidentally equal to zero in Preferences > Mouse > Mouse Snap. </li>
<li>In the absence of a loaded project file an incorrect indication of the Unit System in Preferences>Number/Units>Setup Units might occur, in which case it does not correspond to the underlying units of position, velocity, ... </li>
<li>Error message "Synchronisation of motions and/or loads not correct", while the tolerance limits under Preferences>Analysis>Solver Options are such that the deviations are smaller than the tolerance and the analysis should have been carried out.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
</ul>
<h2>
What's new in SAM 6.0?</h2>
<i>Optimization (Professional version of SAM only)</i><br />
<br />
Taking the initial design/topology as a starting point one can for example further improve the quality in which the trajectory of a coupler point equals the target trajectory by changing the geometry of the mechanism within pre-defined ranges. Or one can minimize the peak or RMS value of the driving torque of a mechanism by adding a compensating mass and let SAM determine the optimal value of the mass and its position within the allowable range. Just as in the case of the trajectory optimization one can also specify a reference function and minimize the difference between the actual and the reference function. When designing for example fitness equipment one is generally seeking a predefined force as function of displacement.<br />
<br />
The goal for optimization can be the minimization or maximization of a variety of properties (peak, RMS, average, ...) of the difference between the actual and the target behavior of a mechanism, such as: <br />
Trajectory of a node (with of without prescribed timing) <br />
Any motion or force quantity (as function of time or another quantity) <br />
<br />
SAM seeks the optimum by modifying the following properties within user-defined ranges:<br />
<br />
Geometry of mechanism <br />
Element properties, such mass, spring constant, transmission ratio, ... <br />
The optimization process in SAM is based on a two step approach, consisting of : <br />
Exploration of the design space <br />
Optimization of a specific solution <br />
<br />
<i>Context-Sensitive Right Mouse Button</i><br />
<br />
In previous versions of SAM the user interaction model was based on "Select action from menu or toolbar, then select item to apply action to", for example Delete Element followed by a selection of the element to be deleted. Many programs, such as Microsoft Office, use a different approach which is based on "Select an item and press right mouse key to see which actions can be applied to the selected item". In order to satisfy both experienced SAM users and novice users which are used to the Microsoft Office approach, SAM 6.0 supports both user interaction approaches.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Mechanisms can either be generated via the design wizards or they can be assembled from basic components including beams, sliders, gears, belts, springs, dampers and friction elements. SAM integrates pre-processing, numerical analysis and post processing, such as animation and xy-plots, in an easy to-use environment offering pull-down menus, mouse support and help facilities.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">The mathematical foundation of the analysis kernel, which is inspired by the well-known finite element approach, offers a large number of features and overcomes many of the problems of traditional mechanism programs. Open loop, closed loop, multiple loop and even complex planetary mechanisms can equally well be analyzed due to the finite element formulation. Even the most complex mechanisms, including planetary gear trains, can be modeled within minutes.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">SAM is a popular tool for everybody involved in the conceptual design, motion/force analysis and optimization of mechanisms as applied in equipment, automotive industries (roof mechanisms of convertibles) but also in medical, lifestyle or domestic products. It has been using in many educational institutes and professional companies in Europe and around the world.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><b>History, Present and Future</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The development of SAM already started in 1985 (on a Kaypro-X computer and CP/M operating system) by Dr.ir. Adrian M. Rankers from ARTAS Engineering Software in The Netherlands. However it took until 1991 before the first DOS-version of the program was released and since then many enhancements have been added. A brief overview:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">1985 : SAM 0.0 Start of development (Kaypro-X, CP/M as O.S.)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">1989 : SAM 0.1 First DOS version</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">1991 : SAM 1.0 First official release, kinematics only</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">2007 : SAM 6.0 Optimization, Context sensitive right mouse button</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">2010 : SAM 6.1 Clamped cubic spline, extended automated optimization, new display features, automated updates, videos in GIF format, ...</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><u>Future plans for SAM include:</u></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Extension toward modelling of to model rack/pinion and cam mechanisms</span></li>

</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><b>European Academic Software Award</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">SAM was submitted twice for the "European Academic Software Award" (EASA). Both times, after being evaluated very thoroughly by various international experts, SAM reached the final of this prestigious competition, which has been created to stimulate the development of high quality software for education and research. EASA is a joint initiative of various European institutes from Austria, Germany, United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Scandinavia, Spain and Switzerland. The event is even supported by the European commission (directorate XIII).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>Modeling</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">SAM is equipped with a large library of basic elements, including:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Beam, slider</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Belt, gear</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sensor</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Spring, damper and friction element (both translation and rotation)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Non-linear spring</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">which allows the analysis of a huge variety of mechanisms. The unique mathematical foundation of the program offers a large number of features and overcomes many of the problems of traditional mechanism programs. Open loop, closed loop and even multiple loop mechanisms are treated in the same way and even the most complex mechanisms, including planetary gear trains, can be modeled within minutes.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The DXF import/export facility lets you export your conceptual mechanism design to any CAD program to work out the details and it lets you import CAD data to easily set-up the mechanism in SAM or to perform animation of the final mechanism.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>Input Motion</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">SAM allows the definition of multiple inputs, which can either be defined in terms of ...</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>Angle input motion:</u> e.g. rotation from a motor</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>Elongation of a beam:</u> e.g. displacement of a hydraulic/pneumatic cylinder</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Relative angle: e.g. relative rotation of a robot elbow</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each of the inputs can be defined independently. Various frequently used input motion laws are available as follows:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Constant velocity</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Polynomial</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cycloid</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2nd order velocity profile</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cubic splines</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Inputs can also be read from an external ASCII file or defined via a table to enable the definition of arbitrary motions. This latter feature is especially handy for the modeling of non-standard cam profiles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br />
<b><u>Analysis Results</u></b><br />
Once the mechanism has been constructed and the inputs have been defined any of the following kinematic quantities can be calculated (all relative or absolute):
</span>
<br />
<ul><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<li>Nodal position, displacement, velocity, acceleration</li>
<li>Angles, angular velocity and acceleration</li>
</span></ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Furthermore SAM can perform force-analysis, thus enabling the calculation of:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Driving torque (force)</span></li>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<li>Reaction forces in bearings</li>
<li>Internal forces in elements</li>
<li>Required or transmitted power</li>
</span></ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>Optimization (SAM Professional Only)</u></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The optimization module of SAM Professional offers single-function multi-parameter unconstrained optimization based on a mix of evolutionary algorithms and Simplex techniques.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Taking the initial design/topology as a starting point one can for example further improve the quality in which the trajectory of a coupler point equals the target trajectory by changing the geometry of the mechanism within pre-defined ranges. Or one can minimize the peak or RMS value of the driving torque of a mechanism by adding a compensating mass and let SAM determine the optimal value of the mass and its position within the allowable range.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">SAM seeks the optimum by modifying the following properties within user-defined ranges:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Geometry of mechanism</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Element properties, such mass, spring constant, transmission ratio, ...</span></li>
</ul>
