The number of connections on a link and the number of links is virtually unlimited.īefore describing the Linkage program any more, here is an example of a real-world mechanism that I designed with it. Inputs to drive the mechanism can be rotary or linear. Mechanisms can be designed with pivot connectors or sliding connectors (that also pivot). Linkage Window and the Theo Jansen Mechanism It is simplistic for a CAD program but that is the intent. The mechanism is edited and animated in the same window allowing for quick analysis and modification while working on a design. Linkage is a computer-aided design program used for prototyping of mechanical linkages. Get the beta (almost ready to ship test software) version here. Read the FAQ for more info about the XP version. Download the version that runs (I hope) on Windows XP here. Download the documentation PDF file here (or opens in browser).
Current version is 3.15.9 If you have winget installed, run “winget install linkage” at a command prompt to install Linkage.ĭownload Linkage here.
