Animation doesn't work on NX4
Animation doesn't work on NX4
(OP)
Hi,
I'm unable to run any animation files.
Whenever I click on "Articulation" icon it opens error window saying "File not found". Same error comes when I click "Animation" icon.
I have tried Demo motion parts from Cast as well but same results.Could someone please help.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kevin

By the way, what version of NX are you running?

What you do is build your Assembly, Constraining the Component as you would expect them to be assembled leaving freedom to move where you would expect it in the real world, such as where the parts of your clamp rotates. Then go to...
Assemblies -> Sequencing
...and once in the Sequencing 'task' you can create a Sequence and then define an input (rotation or translation) to be applied to a component and then you play the sequence and watch the parts move. You can set options to show interferences and so on.
Once you're in the Sequencing task, just press the 'F1' key and you'll get the user documentation which will cover most all aspects of setting-up and playing-back an Assembly Sequence.
Note that this is NOT a simulation product as there is no analysis taking place nor is any possible (except perhaps the interference checking). But you can use it to study how mechanism will articulate and where there are interferences and where something might lock-up. It's what some might call 'poor-man's kinematics'.
Anyway, give it a try and see if this meets your needs.
