Abstract

Since computer programs for solving kinematic analyses of spatial linkages have been around for more than 45 years, it is taken for granted that those programs provide the proper solution in any situation. This contribution shows that this is not always the case. Thus, the contribution is a reminder that computer aided analyses results always need to be double-checked. Furthermore, the contribution shows how to interpret the results obtained from a computer program that does not provide the expected results.

Footnotes
1
The authors are grateful to an anonymous reviewer for bringing to our attention this early reference.
 
2
From now on neither the word Workbench nor the version program will be repeated.
 
3
It is well known that prismatic and revolute pairs are special cases of a screw pair and that complex pairs such as spherical or cylindrical pairs can be obtained as a combination of revolute or prismatic pairs. Thus the treatment is fully general.
 
4
A possible explanation is set forth in the conclusions.
 
5
It should be noted that the subgroup of planar displacements, a very important case, is contained in the Schönfliess subgroup.
 
6
As previously indicated, Solid Works© employs the same Solver module of Adams©.
 
7
It should be noted that SolidWorks© provide the results of angular acceleration in deg/s2.
 
8
It should be noted that SolidWorks© provide the results of joint angular acceleration in deg/s2.
