    Inventor studio

    I create a engine assembly and used "Drive Constrain" to rotate the crank shaft. The animation shows the crank shaft turns continuously in one direction. However, when I animate the constrain in Inventor Studio, the crank shaft turned in two different directions (see the vide file attached).

     

    May I know why the crank shaft turns different direction?

     

    Thanks

    Which of the 3 Angle Constraint types did you use?
    Can you use Dynamic Simulation and Publish to Studio instead?

    Not matter I used Directed Angle or Undirected Angle, it is still the same. I created a animation by using "Drive Constrain"  and the crank shaft shows only one direction. Please see the file attahced.

    As the file is too big, so I zipped into 3 files. This is the 1st zip file.

    Make sure the planes used for the angle constraint share the same axis.

    I used the assembly origin YZ and the DLM-006 YZ planes for the angle constraint and it worked fine in Studio.
