PROGRAMS FOR COMPUTER MODELING OF MECHANISM KINEMATICS
The article presents the history of the creation of computer-aided design systems, an overview of special programs and CAD systems for the kinematic study of mechanisms, as well as examples of the use of these programs in computer simulation of the movement of mechanisms. The urgency of this problem is determined by the need to perform synthesis and analysis of mechanisms that have found wide application in modern technology. The use of computer modeling for the kinematic study of mechanisms allows you to reduce the time for designing mechanisms, and with this the cost of the final product.
