animation and contact set

williamej — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 10:37:22 GMT

I have made a simple machine showing how a cam works. When i move the handle manually it works but when I animate the joint, it spins but the rod does not go up and down on the cam, but goes through the cam. When I go back to manual the rod goes up and down following the shape of the cam and work fine. It is a little jumpy but works. Please help. Thank you

You still need to attach your model.

You should line up the cam and the follower for best results. In this example, you do not want to use a Contact Set. You should use Tangent Relationship found under the Assembly menu drop down. I broke the link to the Cam component so I could return the model as a F3D file which is attached. Choose the "Drive Me" joint, right click and chose Animate Relationships.

I tried to get Tangent Relationship to work before I tried contact sets and it would not work. Thank you for your help
