Adams/view acceleration and constant velocity

[wiwi]

Hello,

i have a question about combining acceleration and constant velocity together in one function. I'm trying to rotate a joint in such a way that the first five seconds is acceleration and after those initial five seconds i have another five seconds of constant velocity. is that even possible?

PS: sry for my bad english...


Thanks

It certainly is possible.

The simplest way is to do it in velocity

MOTION/1, JOINT=21, VEL, FUNCTION=STEP(TIME, 0, 0, 5, 10)

I don't recommend using two motion statements on 1 joint, but you might be able to, especially if you DEACT the first one when the second comes in.



Cheers

Thanks for the reply i'm still unable to solve the problem completely, but at least i've got an idea what to look for.

and yeah, i wouldn't recommend using two motion statements either, it doesn't really work for me
