Analysis and design of mechanisms using Mechanism Developer Software – MechDev
Pre-conference Workshop
December 7th, 2025

Prof. Mathias Hüsing
The new tool “Mechanism Developer” (MechDev) can be used to analyze and synthesize planar mechanisms with one or more degrees of freedom. The one-day workshop includes:
- Software interface and operation of MechDev
- Generation of simple mechanism-elements and mechanisms
- Kinetostatic investigations and spring-assisted systems
- Simulation of mechanisms with several degrees of freedom
- Application of motion laws for controlled servo drives
- Synthesis and analysis of cam mechanisms
- Example applications from different industries
Workshop participants should bring their own laptop. Everyone will receive a user license and a download link.
