Mechanism Synthesis Software

We usually use MechDesigner to design and analyze cams, motions and mechanisms.

However, it is also possible to use the Constraint-Based Sketch-Editor in MechDesigner for Mechanism Synthesis†

Thus, we have prepared these topics to give a few 'classic' mechanism synthesis techniques.

Notes:

† Mechanism Synthesis is also called Kinematic Synthesis, or Linkage Synthesis.

We use the term Mechanism in this section. Each mechanism is a kinematic-chain, which is the term we have used in the Tutorials and Reference.
