Several special purposecomputer programs have also been written by different academic and industry researchersthat address this issue to some extent1,2 (for example), but there seems to be no evidenceof an undergraduate course that combines these two approaches. Simplified theory thatcovers the important mechanism design and FEA concepts can be complimented byvalidation using simulation tools. This may be a good starting point
