Motion links

Anonymous — Wed, 14 Apr 2021 12:22:19 GMT

I am designing a convertible roof mechanism (this is a photo of the bottom half) I need to add in motion links at the black dots so that the mechanism is driven by the bottom right link. Any help with this would be appreciated! In terms of dimensions and planes it should all work as I have tested it in other software.

I am not sure what the final motion you expect from this mechanism but I have created Revolve Joints at every logical "black dot" I can find. To make this an easier job, at least in my mind, I added a 5mm hole at these points on each component, it makes creating the joints so much easier. There are two revolve joints fixed to assembly and will not move, just rotate. They are labeled in the Joints folder and shown in the screen capture below.

If you can give me a clear picture of how it is suppose to move, I can attempt to add controlling motion links to the needed joints. That is a big maybe. Model is attached.
