Studying the mechanisms may not require the use of 3D models directly, as we attempt to investigate its comprehensive study through a linear drawing of the mechanism. We can accurately ascribe the relationships between the various members of the mechanism, how they are connected to each other, what is their movement and how we can study every one of its sizes, angles, and velocities. This is being done adopting special systems. In this project, we will use the NX system, and particularly, the NX layout system, with which we can make two-dimensional designs, which will be provided with kinematic properties to thoroughly study the mechanism. After identifying its dimensions, we will proceed to the construction of the three-dimensional drawings. The application of the methodology will be carried out on a 4-cylinder crankshaft.
