Linkage Professional is our full-featured 2D suspension analysis software emphasizing on mountain bike simulation but also usable for motorbike suspension simulation or arbitrary linkage simulation.
Highlights:
- simulation for virtually all bike suspension systems on the market from single-pivot swingarm to four-bar linkages with additional shock driving linkage ("6-bar linkage")
- instant center, path curvature, curvature center, curvature normals calculation
- calculation of pivot forces for each travel position in two cases
- several diagram graphs with the ability to compare them on one sheet
- export all results in graphical (JPG,BMP,DXF) or text formats
- save animations of movement in GIF format
- calculates important parameters of a bike like pedal-kickback, head-angle, wheelbase changes etc.
- easy-to-use suspension sag calculator
- friendly graphical or numerical interface for editing
- integrated web library to share or publish designs
- possibility to protect your design against copying or modification in the web library
- ability to hide bike specific drawings, thus focusing only on simulating an arbitrary linkage structure

Professional version's main benefits compared to the Personal Version:
- pivot force calculation with force vectors drawn
- several cases of force calculation
- more diagram graphs
- comparing graphs is not limited to two comparisons
- export all result datas in text format for spreadsheet import or CAD processing (DXF format supported)
- custom shock characteristics curve editor
- no limitation on simultaneously opened projects
