contents The deformed energy method has shown to be a good option for dimensional synthesis of mechanisms. In this paper the introduction of some new features to such approach is proposed. First, constraints fixing dimensions of certain links are introduced in the error function of the synthesis problem. Second, requirements on distances between determinate nodes are included in the error function for the analysis of the deformed position problem. Both the overall synthesis error function and the inner analysis error function are optimized using a Sequential Quadratic Problem (SQP) approach. This also reduces the probability of branch or circuit defects. In the case of the inner function analytical derivatives are used, while in the synthesis optimization approximate derivatives have been introduced. Furthermore, constraints are analyzed under two formulations, the Euclidean distance and an alternative approach that uses the previous raised to the power of two. The latter approach is often used in kinematics, and simplifies the computation of derivatives. Some examples are provided to show the convergence order of the error function and the fulfilment of the constraints in both formulations studied under different topological situations or achieved energy levels.
