  • MechAnalyzer/RoboAnalyzer
    • "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.

    RoboAnalyzer is a 3D model based software that can be used to teach and learn the Robotics concepts. It is an evolving product developed in Mechatronics Lab, Department of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Delhi, New Delhi, India.

    Its development started under the guidance of Prof. S.K. Saha in order to support the learning/teaching of the topics covered in his book "Introduction to Robotics" published by Tata McGraw Hill, New Delhi (First Edition in 2008 and Second Edition in 2014) and also brought out in Mexico (2009 in Spanish), China (2010) and Singapore (2010)."

  • MechDesigner - PS Motion Kinematics Analysis and Simulation Software
    • "MechDesigner is Machine CAD Software - for machines with many complex cam and mechanism designs.

    No matter how complex your design, use MechDesigner to design all of the mechanisms and cams in one model.

    With MechDesigner, you can continuously:
    ■Analyse:
    Review and plot multiple parameters over a complete machine-cycle: transmission angles, pressure angle, maximum velocity and accelerations, contact-stress, follower life.

    ■Scrutinize:
    Review each mechanism and material interaction in minute detail, with micro-machine steps especially at those critical phases of the machine's operation.

    ■Optimize:
    After you have balanced all possible parameters, using our 'multi-axis cam and mechanism design for multi-axis machines' checklist you will also have access to our world-beating annual-support. You will get a hotline [in UK office hours], to a massive amount of machine design and modelling experience. We will almost always spot an opportunity for further improvement.

    When the machine model is running as you want, export all data manufacture.
    MechDesigner is much more than 'cam design software', it is 'cam, mechanism, motion design software WITH machine design experience'."
  • MSC Software Corporation
    • "Adams is the most widely used multibody dynamics and motion analysis software in the world. Adams helps engineers to study the dynamics of moving parts, how loads and forces are distributed throughout mechanical systems, and to improve and optimize the performance of their products"
  • Motion Analysis: SIMM (Software for Interactive Musculoskeletal Modeling)
    • "SIMM is a powerful toolkit that allows users to model, animate, and measure 3D musculoskeletal figures. The musculoskeletal models include an accurate representation of bones, muscles, joints, ligaments, and other physical structures that can be manipulated by the user through a graphical interface. These models can be used to simulate any number of movements, such as walking, cycling, running, jumping, weight lifting, and throwing.

    Modules embedded within SIMM include:
    ■Motion Capture Importer – SIMM can import motion capture files (C3D, TRB, TRC) for playback and measurement. It can also import data in real-time from a Motion Analysis system and animate a 3D model while the data is being captured.
    ■Gait Reporting – The Motion Reporter tool creates reports on a set of motions, including gait. The reports contain averages, standard deviations, and comparison of data. For gait reports, the tool calculates gait events and automatically divides the recorded motions into left and right strides. Formatted Excel graphs are included for easy comparison or study of data.
    ■Scripting – The Scripting tool executes scripts with commands to load models and motion data, perform dynamic simulations, and create plots and reports. Scripts can also be used to save SIMM tool settings so that they’re restored the next time you start SIMM or load a particular model.
    ■Model Scaling – The Scaling Utility automatically scales a generic model to match any size individual, based on measurements it makes from a static motion capture trial. All model components, including muscle paths, are scaled with the body segments.
    ■Muscle Wrapping – Users are able to interactively define spheres, ellipsoids, cylinders, and torii for muscle-tendon actuators to wrap over. Muscle paths are automatically calculated over these objects, allowing muscle lengths, forces, and movement arms to be accurately calculated for the wrapped muscle.
    ■Live Plots – Live plots of muscle properties are updated whenever any property of the muscle changes. This allows users to instantly observe the effects of moving an attachment point, wrap object, or any other property on the length, moment arm, and force of the muscle.
    ■Bone Deformations – Users can warp bones into new shapes to model various types of bony deformities such as tibial torsion or femoral anteversion.
    ■Video import/export – Motion data videos can be imported and played on a virtual screen during motion animation. This allows for easy comparison of the model animation and live video. Videos can also be exported from the model window to an AVI file.
    ■Skins – In SIMM, skins refers to 3D polygonal surfaces linked to one or more body segments. By linking to one or more body segments, the skin can be made to deform when the joints move. The skins can be used to represent anatomical skin, muscle surfaces, ligaments or other surfaces. They can also be rendered with texture maps for enhanced realism.
    ■GUI – Updated user interface elements make it easy to interact with a model as well as change the display properties of the bones, muscles, and other components. SIMM now has support for “drag and drop” making it easy to load models or motion data and perform functions such as adding bones or running scripts.
    ■OpenSim Compatibility – SIMM can connect with OpenSim, an open-source software system that lets users create and measure dynamic simulations of movement. OpenSim extends SIMM’s capabilities by providing additional dynamics features including residual reduction and computed muscle control. OpenSim can import and export SIMM models, allowing users to take advantage of the features of both applications."

  • Planar Mechanism Kinematic Simulator (PMKS) - Oregon State University (US)
    • "PMKS returns quick and accurate results for the position, velocity, and acceleration of rigid bodies connected as planar mechanisms. The PMKS term refers to a calculator - a compiled dynamic library (e.g. .dll) which performs the necessary math operations to create values for the state variables of a mechanism's movement. This calculator can be accessed: 1) through an Excel macro, 2) through .NET programs, or 3) from an online graphical user-interface written in Silverlight (which is deemed PMKS_Web, but for simplicity we refer to if by the same name, PMKS).

    The usefulness in PMKS_Web comes in the abilitiy to quickly draft and analyze mechanisms. Unlike commercial tools, PMKS is pure kinematics, which is a good thing in that you do not need to specify masses, or stiffnesses. We have shown in technical papers that the approach is quicker and more accurate than other approaches. Furthermore, a novel approach to analyzing non-dyadic mechanisms has been developed which gives unprecedented results (see examples in rightmost column of examples table)."
