DefineDesignProblem

DefineDesignProblem[linkage, points]
builds a synthesis problem for the four-bar mechanism. The design points define planar frames with {{x, y, }, ..} coordinates. x, y coordinates defines the origin of the frame, while specifies the angle between the x axes of the frame and the reference frame.
DefineDesignProblem[1, points]
builds a synthesis problem for the four-bar mechanism with fourbar1 linkage.
DefineDesignProblem[2, points]
builds a synthesis problem for the four-bar mechanism with fourbar2 linkage.
  • The first argument of the function is either fourbar1 or fourbar2 linkage, that are pre-loaded with the package.
  • The design points are defined in the plane where the four-bar mechanism is defined.
  • 1. The $DesignPoints record are defined where the homogeneous matrices of the design points are stored.
  • 2. The "Design" link is attached to the "Ground" link and the geometry with the design points are defined
  • 3. The $GrashofConstants record is added to the linkage
  • 4. The $CrangAngleLimit record is calculated and added to the linkage
  • The following options can be used:
MarkerSize1Specifies the size of the design markers
MarkerLabelStyle{}Style of the design markers
