The Foremost Mechanisms Design Experts Join SyMech’s Advisory Committee

San Francisco, CA… SyMech, Inc.,the software company revolutionizing mechanism design, is proud to announce the formation of its Advisory Committee, consisting of the foremost mechanism design experts.

The members of SyMech’s new Advisory Committee are leaders within the field of mechanism design. SyMech is pleased to have such experts on board to help shape the future of mechanism design. Together, these experts and SyMech will transform the future of mechanism design, by eliminating the previously unquestioned trial and error process. A whole new world of Function First™ Technology and dynamic, instantaneous modifications of mechanisms with the click of a mouse are now a reality.

New Advisory Committee Member Dr. Daniel J. Olson states: "The breadth and depth of expertise in SyMech's advisory committee makes me proud to be a member. For decades people have implemented new theories into mechanism design software. To finally have in one package, a program (SyMech Synthesis Software) that can incorporate any conceivable design strategy, not to mention being integrated with Pro/ENGINEER, is beyond the wildest dreams of any design engineer. I therefore am very excited to be a part of SyMech; this software will revolutionize the way mechanisms are designed."

The members of the advisory committee are:

Homer Eckhardt, author of the book entitled "Kinematic Design of Machines and Mechanisms."

Prof. J. Michael McCarthy, Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, University of California, Irvine.

Prof. Robert L. Norton, author of “Design of Machinery,” a premiere text on mechanism design.

Dr. Daniel J. Olson, former professor of mechanical engineering at Rhode Island University and adjunct associate professor of division of engineering at Colorado School Of Mines.

Homer Eckhardt has more than forty years of industrial experience in applying statics, kinematics, and dynamics to the design of dynamic systems, which range from air and space vehicle control and guidance systems to textile machinery and automatic manufacturing machinery. He is a major contributor to the field of kinematics and mechanism design, and author of the book “Kinematics Design of Machines and Mechanisms”. Furthermore, Mr. Eckhardt holds patents in control systems, instrumentation, computation, and dynamic systems.

Prof. J. Michael McCarthy is a member of the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, Irvine. He is the author of two books, including “Introduction to Theoretical Kinematics,” and over 100 articles on the design of spatial mechanisms and robots. He and his students developed the SphinxPC software for the design of planar and spherical linkages, and are currently working on a Java environment for spatial linkage design.

Prof. Robert L. Norton has extensive industrial experience in engineering design and manufacturing and many years of experience teaching mechanical engineering, engineering design, computer science, and related subjects at Northeastern University, Tufts University, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute. In addition, Prof. Norton has written three books, including the renowned “Design of Machinery”, and has published many technical papers.

Dr. Daniel J. Olson is a former professor of mechanical engineering at University of Rhode Island and adjunct professor of division of engineering at Colorado School of Mines. He has developed and taught courses in planar and spatial kinematics, and 3D Graphics. At URI, he directed the development of several large computer programs for industry (Ford Motor Company, General Electric, and Independent Quality Labs). Dr. Olson has also written and published numerous technical papers on mechanism design, and presented and participated in technical conferences such as ASME Design Automation and Computers in Engineering.

Jonathan Cook, CEO of SyMech, explains the significance of this Advisory Committee: “We are privileged and honored to work with the leading mechanism design experts in the country. This will bring to the engineering community the mechanism design strategies that will help people design mechanisms elegantly, simply, and quickly, thereby removing the ‘mysterious art’ of mechanism design.“

SyMech Synthesis Software enables designers and engineers to create mechanisms in seconds directly inside of Pro/ENGINEER, cutting time and cost to fractions of their current levels. This product represents a dramatic shift away from the traditional iterative process, which can take days, weeks, or even months. Instead, SyMech utilizes patent-pending Function First™ Technology that allows the designer to identify the desired function of the mechanism first, and then achieve a solution in seconds.

About SyMech

SyMech, Inc. is a San Francisco-based software company born of a passion for creativity in mechanical design. Its premiere product, SyMech Synthesis Software, changes the current paradigm of mechanism design from Design-Build-Test to Synthesize-Build™, enabling engineers, and designers to create mechanisms inside Pro/ENGINEER in seconds. A partner with Parametric Technology Corporation, SyMech has already established itself at the forefront of mechanism design. SyMech will continue to work with the engineering and design communities to raise the bar in this field, enabling the creation of countless previously unimaginable products.
