Hydraulic cylinder - Mechanism problem
Hydraulic cylinder - Mechanism problem
(OP)
Mechanism gurus
I have a problem trying to define a hydraulic cylinder.
I have modelled separate skeleton of the fixed and moving cylinders, and placed them into a sub-assembly. Also within the sub-assembly is a datum curve, driven by a parameter from a layout.
The moving part has cylinder and planar constraints, and if course the moving part drags okay.
My problem is that I want to be able to come out of mechanism environment into standard Pro/E modelling environment, and regenerate the assembly and see the hydraulic cylinder in a controlled position – the position defined by the layout.
Is there a method to get the cylinder constraint to regenerate into a controlled position?
Many thanks
Dave

RE: Hydraulic cylinder - Mechanism problem
Use the regeneration value in the joint settings. Unfortunately this is not yet a parametric value that can be tied to a parameter.

RE: Hydraulic cylinder - Mechanism problem
is there really such a possibility for cylinder servo-motors?
