The Many Uses for Mechanical Engineering Animations

Mechanical movement provided the power behind the industrial revolution prior to the electrification of factories, as power generated by the force of water or steam was harnessed though a series of gears, pulleys and other mechanisms.

Today, despite the tremendous advancements in electronics, mechanical movement is still used extensively to transfer the motion and power need to drives machines, vehicles and other mechanisms.

Mechanical engineering animations are now being utilized to demonstrate mechanical assemblies and the expected motions that the engineer has intended for the component parts.

The animation can be in the form of a moving 2D pictorial, commonly described as a ‘gif’; or a 3D virtual model of the components can be brought to life, re-enacting the motions of the real life mechanism.

Here are some of the many uses for mechanical engineering animations:
