What is CoMeT?
CoMeT is a conceptual design tool used to aid in the synthesis and design of compliant mechanisms. The software enables a user to sketch a mechanism concept and then perform rapid, kinematic/stress analysis. This is completed by converting a hand sketch of a mechanism design into mathematical equations which are solved by Matlab, and the converted equations back into a sketch for qualitative/quantitative interpretation of results. The design and analysis process is accomplished rapidly since the sketching interface eliminates the need to construct a formal parametric model (e.g. CAD, points, lines, surfaces, volumes) and eliminates the need to mesh the model.
