Slider-Crank

Visual representation of a slider-crank Position given: the crank, connecting rod and offset dimensions.

Features

• Graphs:
  • Mechanism Animation
  • Piston Position Evolution vs Crank Angle
• Additional info:
  • Range of motion of the piston (not intuitive with offsets >0)
  • Intake/Combustion vs Compression/Exhaust stroke's crank degrees (again, not intuitive when offset >0)

Work in Progress

• Con-Rod angle evolution and angle range
• When is the mechanism getting bloqued? - Spotting non compatible ranges of motions
• Velocities with Point Reference Approach
• Acelerations with Point Reference Approach
