Equations for animation
Equations for animation
(OP)
I am currently working on an assembly in soildworks that requires some form animation in order to check for clashes.
The problem is that the parts lie and move in different planes that are driven through a bevel gearbox, with a series of links and cranks.
If possible I would like to set up the assembly in such a way that, the motion of the parts are simultaneous when moved.
Has anyone ever built a model similar to this?
Regards
Steve

1) Leave the appropriate constraints hanging (i.e. shaft CAN rotate around its central axis but not back and forth between say, bearings or something like that.)
2) Pick one of the parts to move (i.e. shaft)
-Select Collision Detection
-Select Interference Detection
-Select Physical Dynamics
3) Now try rotating your shaft.
I was going from memory, but I think that is the right keystrokes. And hope you have a up to date workstation (especially video card)..It will still work, but just takes longer to regenerate for each "move".

It would really be nice if SW would leave the three things, in KenBolens step 2, checked until you uncheck them. Enhancement Request
