ABSTRACT
This paper illustrates the implementation of python programming in the field
of kinematics and helps the planners to visualize the working nature of the
synthesized mechanism. In the present context, the authors have considered
eight link gear variable topology mechanism in this paper which is synthesized
using a complex number approach. This synthesized mechanism is studied
using MATLAB programming and the various positions obtained are taken into
the consideration for python programming. These advanced tools create an
insight among the design engineers on the working nature of the mechanism.
The operating condition of the synthesized eight link gear variable topology
mechanism in two different phases is analyzed using python programming.
This shows the mechanism operating condition in two different phases and
validates the output obtained with the help of visualization results in
mechanism orientation.

I. INTRODUCTION
As mechanism is defined as a mechanical device that
serves the role of transferring the motion or force
from an input link to an output link during the
operation. This operation helps the mechanism to
carry out different tasks that may be useful in one or
the other way. The mechanism consists of links or
bars connected by joints to form a closed loop.
Further, mechanism may also contain lower pairs,
higher pairs or combination of both pairs. Many
mechanisms are in operation with five or more links
having two degrees of freedom. The various methods
which are in operation used to synthesize these
mechanisms are abstract and complex.
In order to cope up with these difficulties faced by
the kinematicians in such mechanisms can be made to
operate in two or more phases as suggested in variable
topology method. Thus this type of synthesis can be
carried out smoothly and with least effort. This
