The purpose of the present work is to show how the complex theory in subjects related to
Mechanism and Machine Theory can be reinforced with some practicals in which the students can perform
virtual simulation of the mechanisms under study, and they can even interact with real prototypes
to validate by means of experimental analysis the theoretical results. This works deals with Dynamics
and Mechanical Vibrations, and presents the capacities of the Dynamics module implemented in GIM
software related to the obtaining of free solid diagrams, internal forces maps and diagrams, motion simulation,
and so on. In addition to this, interacting with prototypes to carry out experimental measures is
also proposed, so that the students can acquire a deeper understanding of some phenomena related to
mechanical vibrations
