COSMOS Works/Motion/etc.

COSMOS Works/Motion/etc.

COSMOS Works/Motion/etc.

(OP)
(This is such a general question, I'm not sure it can be answered.)

I have been assigned a task to be the COSMOS guru (basically) - and have inherited various models.  Is there any way to determine if the model I'm running with Works/Motion/etc. has problems, or if my method of employing such COSMOS tools is bad.

If it's the model, are there some key flaws to look for?

RE: COSMOS Works/Motion/etc.

Hi,
I fear that if you don't reformulate your question more clearly, nobody will be able to understand...
What do you mean by "have problems"??? And with which kind of simulation? etc...

Regards

RE: COSMOS Works/Motion/etc.

(OP)
Yup.  Too general, I knew it.

Here's a problem I'm having right now though:

I have a satellite dish that revolves about a center axis, as well as revolving (sometimes) from 0 to 90 degrees [pointing straight out to straight up].

Is there a way to demonstrate these degrees of freedom at the same time (they are not dependent on one another.)

RE: COSMOS Works/Motion/etc.

Hi,
yes, sure: the constraints that are used in SW to assemble the parts are recognized by CM in the corresponding kinematic way (except some very particular constraints that are not allowed in SW but do exist in CM).
Of course, the SW constraints must be "realistic".
Imagining that you have two revolving constraints for each of the two axes, you can move them at the same time (with completely different laws from one another, if you want) by right-clicking over each and giving to each the appropriate motion control (displacement, velocity or acceleration law).

Regards
