Anyone know of any mechanical animation software?
Im looking to incorporate videos showing how the equipment operates and wondering if you knew of one that had a short learning curve and not very expensive. I downloaded blender and realized it would take forever for me to learn. I was thinking of the building control systems that show a fan or pump spinning on the home screen.
Thanks in advance

Fusion360 will be easier than Blender, but any 3d software is going to have a steep learning curve. Fusion360 has a free personal use license, so you can try it out and see if it's something you can do.
Another benefit of using a cad software like Fusion360 is that there are tons of free cad files on the internet, so you wouldn't have to design and model a fan, you could download it and just do the animation.

In PowerPoint you can add some basic animation.
I dropped this clip art fan into a slide and hit "spin" on the animation toolbar. Sure enough it spins.
