The objective of this paper is to modelling design and analysis of a cam and follower. This analysis is an important step for fixing an optimum size of a cam and follower. The model is created by the basic needs of an engine with the available background such as forces acting over the cam by means of valve while running at maximum speed. Here the approach becomes fully CAE based. CAE based approach enriches the Research and limits the time duration. Most of the IC engines used in the market

... roller cam and follower mechanisms, having a line contact between the cam and the roller follower. The software (Catia and Ansys) tool has mainly been developed to enhance student learning, but it can readily be used to design modelling and analysis of cam and follower mechanisms for industrial applications. The software generates detailed information about the stress, strain, displacement, velocity etc of the follower. It also provides animation of the cam and follower mechanism.
