Physics simulation thingie Anonymous Fri Mar 14 05:45:01 2014 No.611163 [Reply] [Original]

I love Illustrator. It gives me power to model stuff up to sub-millimeter accuracy and after years of using it on my free time and work, I consider myself a professional and feel confident using it in almost any project I start.
But I want to create a bit more complex machine this time. Sure, I can model two gears next to each other and understand that if one spins clockwise, the other spins counter-clockwise. I can also calculate the speeds and distances of moving parts and whatnot, but I actually can't "see" the changes. What would be the best tool for a vector graphics engineer for this kind of.. physics simulation? I don't know if that's the word for it.

tl;dr are there programs in which you can design and test your mechanical machines?

I'm a macfag, by the way

>>	Heaven Sat Mar 15 04:41:00 2014 No.611668 get a free Autodesk inventor or solid works license (student, warez...) do your assemblies, move them, drag them, power them. there aRe 10000 tutorials on YouTube and stuff

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 15 06:06:00 2014 No.611685 >>611681 There are shitton free (both as in beer and as in speech) CADs around, especially 2D. SolidEdge is my favorite. But it doesn't do any simulation though.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 15 10:48:17 2014 No.611753 >>611163 Solidworks.
