Abstract
A method and apparatus for performing kinematic analysis of linkages using generalized mechanisms selected from a catalog of mechanisms. From an initial selection of mechanisms, the one most closely matching a desired behavior is chosen and an optimization procedure is conducted. The method may be preceded by a qualitative kinematic analysis or the qualitative analysis may be used in lieu of a catalog selection. An improved optimization technique and a closed form kinematic analysis method is described.
