What do you need to rig a mechanical object?
When creating a rig for a mechanical object, you need to know how it should move. You need to know exactly how the parts are connected and how they interact. This may require research about the mechanics of the object, and you may have to talk to engineers or designers.
What do you mean by rigging in animation?
Rigging is a process that makes complex assemblies of objects easier to animate and manage. Rigging is most commonly associated with character animation, but the same tools directly apply to complex mechanical objects and assemblies. A good rig will do the following:

Rigging is most commonly associated with character animation, but the same tools directly apply to complex mechanical objects and assemblies. A good rig will do the following: Automate as much as possible
What kind of controls do you need for a rig?
When building a rig, we need to create controls that are animator-friendly. These controls are typically created using non-renderable objects such as curves and text objects. Proxy objects can also be used as controls. These controls should be easy to understand and placed where they are easy to access.
How is kinematics used in biomechanics and Astrophysics?
Kinematics is used in astrophysics to describe the motion of celestial bodies and systems; and in mechanical engineering, robotics and biomechanics to describe the motion of systems composed of joined parts (such as an engine, a robotic arm, or the skeleton of the human body).
Can a kinematics program be used with a MCD?
If you want to integrate the MCD models of the Kinematics Toolbox into an existing MCD machine model, you must adapt the properties (e.g. geometry data) of the MCD models. This allows you to test the original PLC program and the interaction between the kinematics and the other machine components in MCD.
What’s the best way to rig an animation?
Be animator-friendly. A good rig will abstract the animation to a collection of controls that the animator will manipulate. The goal is to have the animator work the controls and never have to touch the mesh. Be easy to understand. Rigging is essentially a computer interface, so good interface guidelines should apply.
