Comments.Text: Thanks, that's very valuable info.
  
  Regarding LDCad, do you use scripting to create simulations there? Do you have some idea how hard would it be to learn scripting in LDCad to create realistic simulations for machines & mechanism LEGO models for someone with experience in C#?

Title: Is there any software except SR 3D Builder with the ability to simulate the interaction of gears that doesn't require scripting?
