Making spring length adaptive (again)
Making spring length adaptive (again)
(OP)
Hi all,
I'm trying to make the length of a compression spring ipt adaptive to other moving parts in an iam. Found a thread which points to sean dodsons site for a tutorial but sean's site has a link to another site which doesn't seem to be active anymore. I've tried everything I know about adaptivity including linking appropriate parameter of spring feature (pitch)to assembly and writing a formula etc but can't get to work. Simply constraining the adaptive spring ends to the other moving parts doesn't work.
I sure this must be a perenial qustion but havn't found any other references. Can anyone help.
Thanks in advance.

Perenial? Try almost weekly question. There are several methods and numerous references to the various methods. Here is one http://d

The link mentions a method which uses Studio to animate the a spring feature. But i'd like to get this going within the model itself along which all the other moving parts.
I'm still looking.
As far as I can see there is no inventor FAQ in tis forum??
