acb9nc@r.postjobfree.com simulation of planar four bar linkage.
www.linkedin.com/in/ajtoravi/ Accepts control positions interactively as a mouse input or using a text file.
Outputs planar four bar mechanisms approximating through input positions.
Shows ‘Hyper-Surfaces’ representing constraint manifolds and B-Spline interpolation
OBJECTIVE through input positions.
Software architecture is object oriented. Using C++ on Visual Studio IDE.
Seeking a full-time position as a Software GUI is developed using Qt 4.8.4. Rendering is done using OpenGL.
Engineer. Finds applications in constrained motion design for CAD/CAM, Robotics and
Manufacturing Automation, CNC tool path generation, Mechanical System Design and
EDUCATION Simulation etc. Software is First of its kind.
