Building an air engine that has a set of pistons that both slide and rotate between two cylinders that are mounted at a 90 degree angle to each other. I'm stumped on how to join the piston to the cylinders so that when one cylinder rotates, the pistons slide and drive the other cylinder. I'd appreciate your help. Thanks!</P> Tue, 09 Jul 2024 21:40:01 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/how-to-add-sliding-and-rotating-joints-between-pistons-and/m-p/12887719#M17107 jomckissoc 2024-07-09T21:40:01Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/how-to-add-sliding-and-rotating-joints-between-pistons-and/m-p/12887721#M17108 <P>I will send your model along in a minute but in a nutshell, you should not use a Slider joint for the piston to the cylinder.&nbsp; You are forgetting that the Piston and Cylinder not only slide within each other but they ROTATE also.&nbsp; You should be using a Cylindrical Joint instead of a slider.</P> Tue, 09 Jul 2024 21:43:50 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/how-to-add-sliding-and-rotating-joints-between-pistons-and/m-p/12887721#M17108 jhackney1972 2024-07-09T21:43:50Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/how-to-add-sliding-and-rotating-joints-between-pistons-and/m-p/12887729#M17109 <P>I broke the links between your fasteners and the Model so I could send the file back to you as a F3D file.&nbsp; DO NOT USE this file to continue.&nbsp; Video will explain the post I gave earlier.&nbsp; Model attached.<BR /><div class="lia-vid-container video-embed-center"><div id="lia-vid-6357276932112w400h218r619" class="lia-video-brightcove-player-container"><video-js data-video-id="6357276932112" data-account="6057940548001" data-player="default" data-embed="default" class="vjs-fluid" controls="" data-application-id="" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;"></video-js></div><script src="https://players.brightcove.net/6057940548001/default_default/index.min.js"></script><script>(function() { var wrapper = document.getElementById('lia-vid-6357276932112w400h218r619'); var videoEl = wrapper ? wrapper.querySelector('video-js') : null; if (videoEl) { if (window.videojs) { window.videojs(videoEl).ready(function() { this.on('loadedmetadata', function() { this.el().querySelectorAll('.vjs-load-progress div[data-start]').forEach(function(bar) { bar.setAttribute('role', 'presentation'); bar.setAttribute('aria-hidden', 'true'); }); }); }); } }})();</script><a class="video-embed-link" href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/video/gallerypage/video-id/6357276932112">(view in My Videos)</a></div></P> Tue, 09 Jul 2024 21:51:42 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/how-to-add-sliding-and-rotating-joints-between-pistons-and/m-p/12887729#M17109 jhackney1972 2024-07-09T21:51:42Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/how-to-add-sliding-and-rotating-joints-between-pistons-and/m-p/12887734#M17110 <P>I placed all the pistons in place and added a name to the Joint to drive the assembly (Drive Me) and exported the model.&nbsp; Again, do not use this one as all of the fasteners have been broken from their link.&nbsp; It is just for demo.&nbsp; Model attached.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Please do not forget to select the "Accept Solution" icon on one of my post if this solves your issue.</P> Tue, 09 Jul 2024 21:59:05 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/how-to-add-sliding-and-rotating-joints-between-pistons-and/m-p/12887734#M17110 jhackney1972 2024-07-09T21:59:05Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/how-to-add-sliding-and-rotating-joints-between-pistons-and/m-p/12889175#M17111 Thank you so much!
