Simulacion de mecanismos
Program package "Universal Mechanism" is a basic product of the Laboratory. It is a specialized CAE application that is intended for simulation of kinematics and dynamics of mechanical systems such as transport machines, road vehicles, railway vehicles, space structures, robots and manipulator, defense systems. "Universal Mechanism" supposes that its user has basic knowledge in fields of theoretical mechanics, machine and mechanism theory and mathematical modeling. Normally it is used by research engineers within research departments and offices.
Universal Mechanism consists of the core - (UM Base) - and a number of additional modules, that widen functionality of the core.
You can download demo version of Universal Mechanism and UM User,s Manual here.

Linkage
Linkage is a computer-aided design program used for prototyping of mechanical linkages. The mechanism is edited and animated in the same window allowing for quick analysis and modification while working on a design. It is simplistic for a CAD program but that is the intent.
LINKAGE WINDOW AND THE THEO JANSEN MECHANISM
Mechanisms can be designed with pivot connectors or sliding connectors (that also pivot). Inputs to drive the mechanism can be rotary or linear. The number of connections on a link and the number of links is virtually unlimited.
Before describing the Linkage program any more, here is an example of a real-world mechanism that I designed with it. This is a machine that lifts a 1 inch steel ball so that it can roll back down to the bottom of the machine. This is normally called a rolling ball sculpture (RBS) or a marble run, but there is more lift mechanism here than there is track, so this is more of a kinetic sculpture. First is the Linkage program design being animated, followed by a video of the sculpture running. And finally, a photo of the finished product!
MechAnalyzer
MechAnalyzer® is a 3D model based software developed for effective teaching and learning Mechanisms related courses. It is an evolving product developed in Mechatronics Lab, Department of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Delhi, New Delhi, India, under the guidance of Prof. S.K. Saha. It is freely available for academic usage.
Study of various planar and spatial linkages is covered in Mechanism Design, which is a basic course taught in the curriculum of Mechanical Engineering. Students learn the kinematic and dynamic equations to analyze different types of mechanisms. A computer-based approach to solve these equations becomes imminent when the number of equations increases and also for a quick and better understanding through visualization. Currently, there are many commercially available software which can help students in this matter. Unfortunately, considerable amount of time is required to train students in order to use them.
Feedback:
MechAnalyzer is a software under development. If you have any issues or suggestions/feedback, we would love to hear your valuable feedback.
MechAnalyzer is a free software developed to simulate and analyze the mechanisms that are already preloaded in it, hence, reducing the time and effort required to get started with it. The software has been developed in C# and uses OpenGL/OpenTK for visualization.
As it is a software that is under active development, a screenshot of the current version is shown to the right. All the versions that have been released s
o far are listed below.
