3. Practical applications, examples and challenges
The first 2D example can be handled with simple, free software.
The following 3D example requires you to have access to more industrial software, but it's often possible to test it for a few weeks on trial versions.
3.1 2D simple case
Figure 27 illustrates a manual lever problem, deliberately simplified to the extreme. As a first approach, to...
