Download Universal Mechanism 5.1 um51.exe and install the program on your hard disk. You can use Universal Mechanism without registration for one month after installation and, if necessary, register the program and get a serial number for extra two month of trial period.

For a free registration for a 2-month trial period send a mail to um@umlab.ru with the following information:
- Registration name;
- Hardware ID (indicated in the registration window when Universal Mechanism starts);
- Place of work/study.

This installation of Universal Mechanism includes the following modules: First of all, we recommend you to have a look at several examples of mechanical systems:
  • run UM-Simulation;
  • choose the menu command HELP|DEMOS;
  • follow instructions.

    After that use manuals from the "Getting started" series to get quick start in using Universal Mechanism.
