Four bar mechanism

Hello
I created a model of the four bar mechanism using three rods.

The mechanism should always move as a parallelogram. Link 1 and link 3 should be always parallel. Link 2 should be always horizontal.

however for unclear reasons the motion does not obey the theoretical expectation.

I will be grateful for any clarification for the reason.

Hello Tamer,

please have a look at this four bar linkage example.
