Step 1: Define the joints
The final mechanism makes use of multiple revolute and prismatic joints.
A step by step video for the joints definitions is presented in the following video.
At the end, the mechanism is set to revolute driven for the joint between the crank and the frame.
-
Step 2: Change it to length driven
To highlight the versatility of DMU Kinematics, we are going to set the mechanism to be length driven.
All the steps are presented in detail within the bottom video.
