Catia V5 kinematics
Catia V5 kinematics
(OP)
Hi everybody!
Anybody know if it's possible in Catia V5 to make a kinematic simulation in 2D? It will be much more helpful (for me), to perform a 2D analyse with kinematic simulation, than to have a space kinematic simulation. Thanks in advance for your answers!

Thanks again for any answer!

The Kinematic package is really easy to use in 3D all you need is simple shapes to represent your parts.
I use the kinematics to validate my designs interactively.
It's a big improvement in speed over V4 because I don't have to redefine the joint everytime I make a change to the geometry.

You can also do some simple 2D kinematics within the sketcher.

You can simulate mechanisms in CATIA V5 2D, by drawing elements, and then constraining them.
Use fix,vertical and horizontal constraints, and most important, use dimensions with "drive dimension" enabled.
Unfortunately it seems you can't constrain "blocks" this way.
Not sure if you can solve your specific problem, but it's worth a try.
