CoMeT allows designers to define a mechanism’s geometry, boundary conditions and loading conditions via hand sketches or keyed in values if desired. CoMeT emulates a “smart” piece of paper which records the designer’s intent via sketch and returns analysis results in the form of a sketch. CoMeT acts as a liaison between the designer and MATLAB, “conversing” with the designer via sketches and “conversing” with MATLAB via matrices. Although CoMeT may be used on any Windows-based system, it is most effectively used via a Tablet PC which enables the designer to sketch the mechanism, loads and constraints on the screen.
