Hi,
I'm trying to make an animation of a cylinder following a path however have been unable to encourage the cylinder to move. Please can anyone help me with how to set up the motion simulation?
I've modelled the path as a surface. I've constrained the edge of the cylinder to the edge of the path surface as a curve on curve constraint; the path is a fixed link and the cylinder is a slider joint. I'm not sure if this is correct so far and what to do next? I've tried various things but haven't been able to get the cylinder to move!
Thanks
