Abstract

This language is used to introduce into the computer the description of the mechanism to be studied. Any type of plane mechanisms composed with the basic building blocks shown in Fig. 2 can be very easily described with this program. The description of the mechanism is represented in the computer by a data structure in which all the elements of the mechanism, as well as their functional dimensions and how they are interconnected each other are recorded.
