How to setup Gabe's project, Mechanism

Some time ago I got to know this awsome project: https://github.com/gabemorris12/mechanism

MIT | A visual tool to aid engineers with the design process for mechanisms, cams, and gears.

Lately, I just saw that Gabe placed some interesting video about it:

#python -m venv gabe_mechanism_venv #create the venv
python3 -m venv gabe_mechanism_venv #create the venv

#gabe_mechanism_venv\Scripts\activate #activate venv (windows)
source gabe_mechanism_venv/bin/activate #(linux/mac)

Install dependencies with:

pip install -e .
#pip freeze > requirements.txt #generate a txt with the ones you have!

I just added this line at the script to get a .gif rendered:

#ani.save('../animations/engine.mp4', dpi=300)
ani.save('../animations/engine.gif', writer='pillow', fps=30)

So that you can see the engine sample animation working:

As you can guess:

• Bars are represented by red lines
• Acceleration is in orange
• Speed in grey

I exchanged some email with its creator, GabeMorris12.

A visual tool to aid engineers with the design process for mechanisms, cams, and gears.

Created this simple version with python:

Conclusions

I created a small slider crank app for motor sport lovers (and with much smaller scope than Gabe’s project)

Simulation of a Slider-Crank mechanism. Powered by Python and DASH.

Why am I so excited about get this project working on my computer?

Well, I dedicated an important part of my life to Mechanical engineering…

…and mechanisms are everywhere.

Making our lifes better thanks to their smart designs and leverage.

Mechanisms are kind of code that “automates” the physical movement logic.

Some example?

The one of the engine I will reserve for another post.

Today is the turn of a Singer Machine!
