Piston Driven Hinge Joint

Anonymous — Wed, 04 Oct 2017 22:48:57 GMT

I didn't really know what to call it, and perhaps that's why I'm not finding any how to's.

I'm bored and have some free time so I'm trying to model some components for a costume. One of which being a knee brace that is "hydraulic piston" powered. Think of an excavator arm is linear driven to rotate.

I can get all the revolute joints, and motion link them, but if I try adding a slider joint, I get an error. I wouldn't worry about it, but I found a model excavator to download and it had all the joints in it. I've only been using F360 for about 2 weeks, so nowhere near good enough to figure out what they did and apply it to mine.

Well, I'm a newb. I hollowed out the sleeve part of the piston so the solid could slide in and that fixed everything.
Sorry to waste your time, but thankful the forum is here anyway 🙂
