Mechanism Generator 2.0 (MechGen 2)

January 6, 2012/0 Comments/by Prof. McCarthy

We have a trial version of our Mechanism Generator 2.0 software available. MechGen 2 reads five task positions of a moving part in SolidWorks and generates a set of linkages that approximate the positions within specified tolerances. An animation previewer shows how each linkage moves. Select one and MechGen 2 generates the solid model of the linkage.  

This is the result of excellent work by Alex Arredondo and Kaustubh Sonawale.

This video demonstrates the operation of MechGen 2:
