Why no rotational freedom?

[rickduley]

This cross-head pin is transitionally constrained in the slot.  I can move it within the slot, but I cannot rotate it as I expect.

Can someone please tell me why not?

Hi!

Because transitional is kind of  Sliding constrain.

You can use "Physics conditions": promote a "contact set" between both parts and activate contact solver.

If you move the part manually, it will behave like (or near) the real world.

If you going to get serious about motion (and if you have Inventor Professional), I would take this to Environments>Dynamic Simulation.

Hi Carlos

What is that supposed to do?  I cannot discern any difference in the behaviour of the model.

Hi!

Now the part can rotate also. If you manually grag it, the part can slide and rotate, depending how you pick them. It acts more naturally.

Before, the part only slide thru the walls.

But, in the end, we can say that ist´s the same: the part only moves inside the slot.
