Motion Simulation in NX 6 (rotation)

Motion Simulation in NX 6 (rotation)

(OP)
I have never used motion simulation but would like to simply rotate an assembly around an axis. Is this something that is fairly easy to do? Any beginners tips? Thanks.

RE: Motion Simulation in NX 6 (rotation)

If that is all that you wish to do, and you are not looking to do any actual analysis other than seeing the motion, you can accomplish that using Assembly Sequencing.  Assembly sequencing will also allow you to articulate an underconstrained assembly by simply moving one component while the normal assembly constraints will cause the rest of the assembly to articulate by honoring those constraints.

Here's a video of a very simple assembly being animated using Assembly Sequencing:

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