hello, i use inventor 2011 and i want to create a spring animation. I followed this video step by step but when i constrain the upside and the downside of the spring to those plate objects i get an error.
this is the video i followed:

Looks like a pretty simply assembly - attach it here.

I eventually solved the problem. Now i try to do so that when the came press on the valve to compress the spring. Spring is compressed when i modify the distance between valve and motor unit using drive constraint. What should I do so that when the cam press on valve to compress the spring? Sorry for my bad english
Attach your assembly here.
I assume you used Adaptive. I would not use that technique.
I recommend that you use a Spring Force in Enviroments>Dynamic Simulation.

there is the assembly and its parts:

I don't know how to use Dynamic Simulation.
