Actuator Block wrong location for multiport valve in 3D model

Hello,

I have the following problem, I am using the Tuchenhagen multiport valve catalog but I need to change the actuators to make them look more realistic. I have generated the actuator block and I have generated the PLANTPARTCONVERT.

I assigned the actuator to the valve and everything works perfect

The problem is that when I modify the angle in the lower housing, the insertion point is modified in the Y axis

Otherwise, the insertion point moves on the X axis

does anybody know how I can fix it?

I would need that in all cases the insertion point be the same

 

Thank you

Did you found the solution or a work around for this problem?

I have the same problem in Plant 3D 2020 and it is very annoying.

@Matias.Martin79  please put the angle as per below:

 

Angle  = current angle value  + 0.0000000001

 

for exmalpe 90

Angle= 90+0.0000000001=90.0000000001

 

then actuator will not move.

The actuator for multiportvalve need to lay down flat and point in +Y when you create the block for it.
Following this guide may help you. We hade the same issue until we found out how multiport valves are treated by the system.
