Kinematics in NX6.0
Kinematics in NX6.0
(OP)
Hi,
I'm working on a bulkhead with a pocket door and I thought I might try and constrain my assembly to see that the movement of the door slide and pop up header actually works as intended. I did run a quick search but the only related item I found was assembly sequencing. This doesn't appear to be the correct tool.
Unfortunately we don't have the Motion Simulation application, so I'm wondering if there's something I can do in Modeling. I've used Arrangements before to show different positions, but it would be nice to get there with the assembly correctly constrained. As always, thanks in advance.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

I haven't figured out how to have multiple components translate along different vectors in the same step. It will do one vector movement and then the other. Is it possible to combine motions in the sequence navigator?
Also, I'd like to move a single solid of a component without selecting the entire component. IE, for a linear drawer slide which is a component in my assembly, to move only half of the slide.
Thanks again, the help is very much appreciated.

As for moving less than the entire component, if you have a part which is made of multiple bodies and you wish to act on them as separate objects, then they should really be modeled as different components, then you could move them independent of one another.
