In this tutorial, you will perform a finite element analysis on the driver linkage of the Inverted Slider Mechanism. You will learn how to define loads and constraints, run an analysis, and display the results. You will also learn how to perform sensitivity analyses and optimizations of design parameters.

Gear pairs are used to simulate two gears in your mechanism. Many times, you may wish to avoid having to model gears and figure out (either using Cams, or some other method) a way to get them to work properly. This mechanism entity will not only provide you with a way to simulate the gears working together, but can calculate forces and loads as well.
