Joining gears in SW2000, how to?

Joining gears in SW2000, how to?

(OP)
How to join two or more gears (pinions) in SW2000, and make them work?

RE: Joining gears in SW2000, how to?

I don't think you can do this in SW00.  I think you need at least SW01 or SW01+ to have the Physical Dynamics features.

Ray is right,

YOu do not have that functionality in 2000.  2001+ has physical dynamics but I would attempt to do a simulation like that with it... its very math intensive and would bog most processors and not show much at all for you.  Better way would be to use Cosmos Motion, and use your assembly file, define a rotary motion on one gear, and create a coupler between the two that says for every degree of rotation on gear1, rotate gear2 by so many degrees (based on the gear ratio).

Wish I had better news for you...

I don't know your programing skills, but you can try to write a macro to calculate the gears positions and simulate the transmission.
