pyslvs-ui 19.11.0

An open source planar linkage mechanism simulation and mechanical synthesis system.

Pyslvs-UI

A GUI-based (PyQt5) tool used to design 2D linkage mechanism.

• Planar Linkages Simulation

  • Python-Solvespace: Kernel from Solvespace with Cython bundle.
  • Pyslvs: Kernel from Sketch Solve with Cython.

• Mechanical Synthesis

  • Number Synthesis: Combine the attributes of mechanism.
  • Structural Synthesis: Cython algorithm used to find out structural possibilities of the mechanism.
  • Dimensional Synthesis: Kernel from the three Cython algorithms (rewrite).

• Others

  • Cross three platforms.
  • CAD-like user interface.
  • Auto layout of generalized chain.
  • The code complies with PEP 8 and PEP 561.
