Hi I'm currently working on a project for an internship at an engineering company and hit a wall on the animation. I am trying to animate moving wall panels to fold and open on a rail and have no idea how to animate it, all the parts move and the panels do fold and open on the rail when I control them with my mouse, I attached a picture of my assembly and would appreciate whatever help I can get. Keep in mind I'm still in high school and learned most of Inventor by myself so I may have no idea of some of the things you suggest, try to keep the answers as simple as possible for my sake.
Also I used those weird colors on the walls for contrast to help you better distinguish the panels and rail from the walls.
Look at "Drive Contraints" RMB on the constraint and select "Drive"

Just insert the picture rather than attaching it as a file Did you find this reply helpful ? If so please use the Accept as Solution or Kudos button below. Delta Tau Chi ΔΤΧ
The thing is I have so many constraints that I don't know which one to select that option on. Could you suggest a constraint that could make the animation work? I constrained all the panels to each other using hinges and then placed a roller in the middle of the panels and connected the rollers to the rail.
Have you gone through the Inventor Studio tutorials?
I would not use any Contact Sets for this.
Place directed angle constraints between the panels.
Give the angle a parameter name and then use this for each constraint.
Go to Environments>Inventor Studio and Animate Parameter. There is an example in the Tutorials.
