Welcome to the Any Mechanism repository.
This is a true open source model repository for non-biomechanical models for the AnyBody Modeling System.
The AnyBody Modeling System is a multi-body software system specifically designed for musculoskeletal (biomechanical) models (Link). Even though the software it-self is commercial it also is accompanied by a large open repository of models (see AnyScript.org ) which have been contributed by research groups from all over the world. However, these models all represent something related to the human body or to biomechanics.
This repository contains only non-biomchanical models, small mechanisms and curious linkages. The models are mostly made for fun, and we hope the repository will eventually grow as more people contribute.
Current models:
- Elipsograph
- Watt’s parallel motion
- Watt’s linkage
- Chebyshev’s linkage
- Hoekens linkage
- Peaucellier compact linkage
- Harts A-frame
