LinkageDesigner, for parametrized mechanism modeling, works with Mathematica’s symbolic calculation software to let users analyze, synthesize, and simulate linkages.
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.
