Assembly sequence

Assembly sequence

Assembly sequence

(OP)
Hello. I have a question about making a sequence in assembly. Is it possble to move two different components in different directions and how does that happen?
Currently using NX 4.

RE: Assembly sequence

While you can apply the same motion to 2 or more components, they would all move in the same direction.  To do what you want, you'd have to assign a different motion to each component, and if you wanted to give the impression that 2 objects were moving at the same time, but in different directions, the best that you could do would be to create a series of small motions applied back and forth between the same two components so that when it's played back, you get the impression that both parts are moving at the same time, just along different paths/directions.
