Instead, he wrote a simulator that lets him try out various custom linkages in real time ... don’t want you to miss out if you’re doing mechanical design and need something like this, or ...

Mechanical linkage can be computationally expensive due to the need to solve differential equations for each joint. In this project, I use a technique called 'Position-based dynamics,' popularly used ...

This script exists to quickly analyze the geometry and motion of 4 bar linkages. A gif demo of the program working is below: I needed a good simulator to analyze linkage motion for robotics projects.

But we really don’t want you to miss out if you’re doing mechanical design and need something like this, or just want to play around. Anyone know of an open-source linkage simulator that can ...
