Abstract
A modular method for symbolic kinematic modelling of multiloop mechanisms is outlined. For a given mechanism, the method identifies automatically a list of modules for which closure equations can be generated and solved hierarchically. Closed-form solutions can be obtained in many cases of practical interest.
