✍️ In this video tutorial, we are going to model a Slider Crank Linkage mechanism in 2D and 3D environments using SolidWorks. In the last part of this video tutorial, the Slider Crank Linkage will be animated using the Motion Study module of SolidWorks. In engineering, a mechanism is a device that transforms input forces and movement into a desired set of output. Mechanisms generally consist of moving parts that can include: Gears, Belt and chain drives, cam and followers, and Linkage. A linkage is a collection of links connected by joints.
