ASSIST: A Shrewd Sketch Interpretation and Simulation Tool-

Unfortunately, current computer-based design tools for mechanical engineers are not tailored to early stages of design. Most designers use pencil and paper at first, and input their design into CAD systems only after it is nearly complete. The tradeoff between the ease of drawing and the precision of a CAD tool is too great for engineers who are just sketching out rough designs.

ASSIST allows a user to sketch simple mechanical systems and see simulations of his/her drawings in a two-dimensional kinematic simulator.
