This paper presents a kinematic and dynamic analysis and distribution of the stress for seven-item planar mechanism by means of the SolidWorks software. The authors of the introduced paper deal with the kinematic analysis of planar mechanisms as well as with the implementation of the vector method into the SolidWorks software program in order to determine the kinematic variables (quantities) of the individual bodies in the whole complex system. The dynamic analysis is performed on the basis of the kinematic analysis. Dynamic analysis allows us to design a system of bodies correctly and it is with the respect to the dynamic loading. For the interpretation of the introduced analysis, the seven-item planar mechanism was selected. Graphic dependence of kinematic and dynamic magnitudes of some points is given in dependence on the angle of rotation of the driving item and in dependence on time. In relation to the kinematic and dynamic analysis and subsequent simulation of the planar as well as spatial mechanisms, it is perfect solution to use SolidWorks software program. The considerable advantage of this mentioned program is based on its simplicity from the aspect of modeling and moreover, it is important to point out that utilisation of the mentioned program leads to results which are precise and accurate in the case of the numerical solution of the equations in the whole magnitude referring to motion of mechanism while the given results are obtained in the graphic form.
