4 bar linkage analysis in Mathcad Prime 10?

[BT_10780541]

I've been exploring various research papers and online resources regarding four-bar mechanisms, and I noticed that most of them include complex and advanced equations for motion and force analysis. However, my goal at this stage is to perform a basic four-bar linkage position analysis using Mathcad Prime 10.

I'm dont often work  with mechanisms in Mathcad Prime, and I’d appreciate any help or references that can guide me in building a worksheet from scratch.

If anyone can point me to beginner-friendly materials, share a worksheet, or walk me through the step-by-step setup, it would be incredibly helpful. Thanks in advance for your support!

Not sure what you exactly mean when you write "basic position analysis".

I'd suggest that you start setting up a worksheet with the input values and showing what the desired result(s) should be.
