LINKS: A dataset of a hundred million planar linkage mechanisms for data-driven kinematic design

Here you will find the code we used to generate the dataset and simulate it. A reduced version of the dataset is also publicly available. To gain access to the full dataset send your request to us in the link provided below.

Required packages

• tensorflow > 2.4.0
• sklearn
• numpy
• matplotlib
• tqdm
• svgpath2mpl

Dataset

A reduced dataset of 1,000,000 Mechanisms are provided publicly without any limits. If you are interested in recieving the complete 100,000,000 mechanisms please send your request in the link below:

Dataset Description

The dataset is provided in 4 files. The mechanisms in the "dataset" file, the numerical simulation data for each mechanism in the "simulation_dataset" file and the dataset of the normalized curves in the "normalized_dataset" file, and the curated normalized curves in the "curated_dataset" file.

For more details on the structure of the data and use of our utilty functions see the jupyter notebook in the Dataset folder.

Code Details

The code provided here includes all the parts needed to open and simulate the mechanisms in the dataset. See Dataset.ipynb in the dataset folder for examples.

Note that the GPU solvers are also included in the sim.py but not used directly in the code.
