11. Offset, Radii Horizontal offset makes manual analysis of design difficult. R1 ≠ R2 contributes further to this. 11

12. Further considerations Constraint surfaces are not C1 continuous, so contact conditions require some additional searching logic, and discontinuities in calculated forces are expected. The combined assembly consists of two “top” mounts and one “bottom”. These effects must be calculated in phase with each other for summing up the forces. Total insertion and retraction force differ in magnitude, due to non-conservative friction forces. Friction forces differ depending on static versus dynamic. 12

16. Status We now have a general code for analyzing kinematic constraints of arbitrary piecewise complexity. Now use code to optimize the design. Analysis of current design shows potential gains in: – smoothing the insertion and retraction force curves – eliminating the negative force condition (“suck-in”) – simplifying the offset and radius conditions of contacts 16
