Simulate a Spring compressing
Simulate a Spring compressing
(OP)
Is there anyway to simulate a spring compressing in DMU Kinematics?
I have the spring, which will be compressed by two flat plates - but I want Catia to simulate the compression of the spring on the screen.
Is there a special Joint I use for that?
Thanks
James





RE: Simulate a Spring compressing
There is a work-around for CATIA that involves parametrics and assembly constraints, instead of Kinematics. Essentially, you create some Assembly Level parameters, associate them to your constraints as well as to your spring, and change the values of the parameters. As your assembly updates, so will your spring.
