4 LINK Animation Trouble
4 LINK Animation Trouble
(OP)
Hello,I am using Solidworks 2003 pro, and have designed a 4 link rear suspension system for a HPI Micro RS4 Radio Controlled car, I have used the correct mates for the links, have built a proto-type, and (it works) but I cannot seem to animate the articulation of the suspension. My computer BOGS way down and won't even let me dynamically move suspension components. I am using a 3 Ghz hyperthreading CPU win XP PRO Fire GL 8800 Graphics card.
I really liked the animation example of the snow ski suspension on solidworks website, and am trying to go for the same look in the animation, (fluid movement) anybody else have success doing something similar?

RE: 4 LINK Animation Trouble
Is the suspension in separate sub-assemblies? If so, how do you have them setup - Both flexible or one rigid and one flexible?
Make sure your using the Recommended driver from the SW website.
Let us know.

RE: 4 LINK Animation Trouble
I built up the suspension components inside 1 assembly file so all the mates would allow the pivot balls to rotate and the links to be constrained. everything is flexible
is there anyway to post a pic on this forum?
