Obviously, you could animate something like this by hand but is there any software on Linux meant to simulate this kind of mechanism?

    FreeCAD is such a masochist’s tool ;)

    I tried learning it a few times, but it’s such a royal pain compared to other CAD software.

      I was using Fusion360 for quite some time and when I moved to linux, I had to find an alternative.

      FreeCAD takes a while to get used to, particularly moving from other CAD software, but with a few tutorials FreeCAD 1.0 onwards is really quite powerful.

      Before version 1.0, it was absolutely undecipherable. You can try giving it a shot nowadays, but you’ll have to get used to its workflow, regardless of what CAD software you currently use.
