In the powertrains of contemporary internal combustion engines, the crank mechanism maintains a dominant position. Exigencies laid on a crankshaft are usually very complex, the respective criteria varying also according to the type and use of an engine. In the course of many decades, calculation models of a crankshaft mechanism have developed according to current needs and possibilities of computer technology. In practice, simpler models for the solution of various partial problems have been used rather than complex models. This paper deals with contemporary possibilities of making complex three-dimensional powertrain models and it also presents a concrete example.
