Hello,
I have created a slot and pin type cam follower mechanism, depicted in the image 1. There are 3 components in the assembly:
- A ground plane
- A bolt carrier
- A bolt inside the bolt carrier
I have created a slider as-built joint between the bolt-carrier and the ground plane and a cylindrical as-built joint between the bolt-carrier and the bolt. I have enabled contact sets and added the 3 components to the set.
On the side of the bolt there is a pin (part of the bolt) and on the same side of the bolt-carrier there is an angled slot.
Now according to my expectations, when I move the bolt-carrier forward, after hitting the ground-plane's perpendicular extrusion, the bolt should rotate clockwise because the the pin following the slotted-cam. But that is NOT happening. Moving the bolt-carrier backwards the bolt-carrier and bolt move back as expected but only when I move them forward and hit the upward extruded ground plane, the bolts stop.
Why is the bolt not rotating as per the slotted-cam and pin mechanism is my question.
File attached.
