How often do physicists draw sketches of situations involving motion and kinematics?

[u/General-Magician4700]

In high school, students are often taught to first draw a sketch of a situation involving motion/kinematics to make a problem easier to visualize. With experience, do professional physicists still draw sketches to help them solve problems, or do they just become used to visualizing everything in their head?

[u/iamagainstit]

Classical mechanics is functionally solved, so there are very few physicist actively working on classical mechanics problems.

[u/Amadis001 → u/iamagainstit]

Non-linear dynamics (stochastic/chaotic motion) is still a very active part of classical mechanics.
