Laboratory of computational mechanics develops and distribute the following list of products:

Universal Mechanism
Universal Mechanism Lite
Universal Mechanism Express for KOMPAS-3D

Program package "Universal Mechanism" is a basic product of the Laboratory. It is a specialized CAE application that is intended for simulation of kinematics and dynamics of mechanical systems such as transport machines, road vehicles, railway vehicles, space structures, robots and manipulator, defense systems. "Universal Mechanism" supposes that its user has basic knowledge in fields of theoretical mechanics, machine and mechanism theory and mathematical modeling. Normally it is used by research engineers within research departments and offices.

Universal Mechanism consists of the core - UM Base - and a number of additional modules, that widen functionality of the core.

You can download demo version of Universal Mechanism and UM User's Manual here.

Light version of base module of Universal Mechanism, which is oriented to wide range of users. Functionality of UM Lite is limited by the (UM Base) and is not widen with the help of additional modules. UM Lite has the following main differences from full version: considerable restrictions on force element types, disabled programming in UM environment, simplified program interface. More...

Applications for CAD programs are developed on the basis of UM Lite, in particular the dynamic library for KOMPAS-3D. Since the program significantly simplified it does not need from the user any special knowledge and operates with well-known for any design engineer terms and ideas.

Universal Mechanism Express is a library for KOMPAS-3D and is based on Universal Mechanism Lite functinality. Universal Mechanism Express occupies a special place in the software product line of the laboratory. On the one hand, the concept of the program is the reflection of general principles laid in UM. On the other hand, functional capabilities of the dynamic library are restricted considering the specific character of this software. First of all, it is concerned the set of force elements and programming in the program environment. The library is intended for using by design engineers for express analysis of designed mechanisms in their everyday work. It does not need from the user any special knowledge and operates with well-known for any design engineer terms and ideas.
