Introduced first in SolidGeometry 2.8, Creation date: 2016-01-07, Last change: 2025-09-14
returns 4 points for a 4 Bar linkage
Description
2 Pose synthesis for a 4 Bar Linkage based on two specified poses: By describing 2 coupler poses by 2 points (C1-D1 and C2-D2) each, the two lines are constructed where the base frames A0 and B0 must be located. The coupler may have a fixed location relative to the links A0-A1 and B0-B1. Also it is possible to give an exact distance for A0 and B0 from the middle points mA and mB.
