3D Modeling of mechanical structures in the
aim of real-time simulation of the product dynamic behavior,
using computer performing software, is a necessity. In the
paper there are presented some aspects regarding the 3D
modeling FEM analysis and also the detailed design of a testing
device, to be used in tribological tests of small pieces. First
there are presented some aspects of the device virtual modeling
and drafting, using CATIA software. Then are defined the
geometrical and kinematical restrictions between the parts.
Finally, there are presented some aspects of the Finite Element
Analysis and the results of this, using ANSYS software. In the
final part of the paper, there are presented the conclusion.
