    LinkageDesigner, for parametrized mechanism modeling, works with Mathematicas symbolic calculation software to let users analyze, synthesize, and simulate linkages. The software detects nonfeasible and lock-up mechanisms while defining the model. Other features calculate translational velocity, angular velocity, and higher-order derivatives of any link and provide visualization and animation of linkages in Mathematica notebooks.
